In January 2025, our English academic journal Communication and the Public was officially included in both the Chinese Academy of Sciences Journal Ranking Table (hereinafter referred to as the CAS Journal Ranking) and the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ). This recognition marks an important milestone in enhancing the journal’s academic influence and reputation. Looking back at 2024, Communication and the Public continued to strengthen its positive momentum, receiving 344 submissions from 58 countries and regions worldwide, with an acceptance rate of 23.7%. The journal consistently ranked in the second quartile (Q2) among communication journals in SCOPUS and Web of Science.
The CAS Journal Ranking Table is published by the Chinese Academy of Sciences Literature and Information Center and serves as an essential research tool. It helps researchers and administrators assess the influence of international academic journals, provides guidance for scientific submissions, and supports the internationalization of domestic journals. The ranking table is adjusted annually to reflect the development and changes of academic journals. Our journal ranks in the second quartile in the latest edition.
The Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) is an internationally recognized academic journal database created by Lund University in Sweden. It is a comprehensive online directory of open access journals managed by the open access community. The DOAJ provides a list of high-quality, reliable, peer-reviewed journals that meet open access standards. This database helps scholars find trustworthy journals and enhances the international influence of the journals indexed in it.
This inclusion greatly enhances the international status and impact of Communication and the Public, providing more platforms for researchers in the field of communication studies to showcase and exchange ideas. Communication and the Public will continue to uphold its commitment to high-quality publication standards, promote the development of open access in the discipline, increase the global impact of high-quality research, and facilitate widespread exchange and dissemination of academic findings, thus further enhancing the journal’s international reputation and influence.
