Computational Communication Research

Aims and Scope

CCR is an online-only journal that encourages and facilitates the sharing of 1) developments in computational tools and methods, and 2) the application of computational methods to answer theoretical questions about (human) communication. It accepts rigorous, relevant computational work on all topics in communication science.
There are currently many excellent journals in the field that accept and promote computational communication research. Most, however, do so because computational methods overlap with a subject area of interest. As a result, computational researchers often must shoehorn their work to fit the topical aims of these journals and current computational work is scattered over the various journals of our respective subfields, even though the methods and challenges can be highly similar. By gathering this work in a single venue, CCR facilitates the timely generation and distribution of computational research outputs among peers with shared interest and enhances the significance and visibility of computational methods in communication research.
CCR facilitates these developments. CCR generally requires tools and data to be shared on accepted platforms and stimulates the publication of tools and data sets as stand-alone contributions. CCR encourages preregistration of studies, and also accepts registered reports.

Peer Review Process
+
Peer Review Process
+
CCR publishes articles only after a rigorous peer-review process. CCR strives towards quick publication, as the speed of computational developments quickly outpaces current publication cycles. Besides encouraging quick reviews and taking quick decisions, this will be facilitated by a two-phase review process.
In phase one, a traditional double blind ‘adversarial’ review takes place, where the central task for the reviewer and editors is to judge whether a manuscript is (potentially) publishable. The outcome of phase one, which can hopefully be done in a single review round, is a conditional decision (intent) to publish.
After the conditional decision to publish, the author is encouraged to publish the manuscript on a preprint archive like SSRN or SocArXiv. The journal website will link to this manuscript as a ‘working paper’. Any revisions in this phase are not required to be blinded.
The reviewers get the option to be publicly identified on the article if published.

As explained in our review policy, we encourage authors to publish a preprint of their manuscript once we reach the "intend to publish" stage. Working articles are preprints of the papers that are currently under review that we intend to publish assuming that any outstanding issues are resolved. Please note that these papers are not accepted yet and there is no guarantee that they will be eventually published in this journal.
