Scope & Mission
Frontiers in Communication publishes rigorously peer-reviewed research in areas including Political, Health, and Science and Environmental Communication. Led by an outstanding Editorial Board of international experts, this multidisciplinary open-access journal is at the forefront of disseminating and communicating knowledge and impactful discoveries to researchers, academics, policy makers and the public worldwide.
This new journal launched in May 2016 is one of the first social-sciences journals of the “Frontiers in” series. Frontiers in Communication will foster cross-disciplinary work as well as fairness, transparency, and objectivity in the review process. Further specialty sections will be added as the journal continues to develop, some of which are already under discussion and include:
- Media Effects;
- Digital Communication and Social Media;
- Journalism

Frontiers in Communication is composed of the following Specialty Sections:
The specialty sections of Frontiers in Communication welcome submission of the following article types: Book Review, Brief Research Report, Case Report, Conceptual Analysis, Correction, Data Report, Editorial, General Commentary, Hypothesis and Theory, Methods, Mini Review, Opinion, Original Research, Perspective, Policy and Practice Reviews, Registered Report, Review, Systematic Review, Technology and Code, Policy Brief, Specialty Grand Challenge, Clinical Trial, Community Case Study, Clinical Study Protocol and Study Protocol.
When submitting a manuscript to Frontiers in Communication, authors must submit the material directly to one of the specialty sections. Manuscripts are peer-reviewed by the Associate and Review Editors of the respective specialty section.
Articles published in the specialty sections above will benefit from the Frontiers impact and tiering system after online publication. Authors of published original research with the highest impact, as judged democratically by the readers, will be invited by the Chief Editor to write a Frontiers Focused Review - a tier-climbing article. This is referred to as "democratic tiering". The author selection is based on article impact analytics of original research published in the Frontiers specialty journals and sections. Focused Reviews are centered on the original discovery, place it into a broader context, and aim to address the wider community across all of Communication.
