[ecrea] Journal of Intercultural Communication

Tue Jul 08 20:12:18 GMT 2008



Journal of Intercultural Communication

The world today is characterized by an ever growing number of contacts resulting in communication between people with different linguistic and cultural backgrounds. This communication takes place because of contacts within the areas of business, military cooperation, science, education, massmedia, entertainment, tourism but also because of immigration brought about by labor shortage or political conflicts.

In all these contacts, there is communication which needs to be as constructive as possible, without misunderstandings and breakdowns. It is our belief that research on the nature of linguistic and cultural similarities and differences here can play a positive and constructive role.

The goal of the Journal of Intercultural communication is to promote research but also education and training in the area of intercultural communication. The journal is an outgrowth of the activities of NIC - the Nordic Network for Intercultural Communication. The great interest shown in the activities of NIC have pointed to a need for more journals employing a peer review procedure within the area of intercultural communication. By starting this journal, we hope to encourage more research and to facilitate contacts between interested researchers as well as to provide better possibilities for reviewed publication.

We welcome contributions and reviews concerning all areas of intercultural communication.

In the Journal of Intercultural Communication, we are testing a new form of publication - "gradual publication". Rather than delaying publication for those articles that have already been accepted until all articles needed for the publication have been refereed and revised, we have decided to publish accepted articles, later adding other accepted papers until the issue is complete.

JICC is free and on-line. We have roughly 2500 readers per month. Please fell free to send in articles for peer review and publication.
