Aim & Scope

Aim

Global Research Communications provides a peer-reviewed venue for global research communications. The journal is intended for research-communication scholars, global science analysts, information scientists, and interdisciplinary project leaders. Its editorial goal is to publish articles that make the research question, method, evidence, and limitations visible enough for readers to evaluate and reuse.

Core Scope

The journal considers manuscripts in the following areas:

  • Original studies in global research with transparent assumptions and evaluable evidence.
  • Research on scholarly communication that explains methods, data, and interpretation limits.
  • Applied work involving science communication where practical relevance is supported by analysis rather than assertion.
  • Interdisciplinary work connecting collaborative research to adjacent scientific, engineering, health, environmental, social, or policy questions.

Article Types Considered

The journal may consider research communication studies, scholarly communication analyses, network studies, practice reports, commentaries, and reviews. Article type should be selected according to the main contribution, not according to desired length or perceived prestige.

Method and Evidence Expectations

For this field, manuscripts should pay particular attention to:

  • communication setting
  • audience or stakeholder definition
  • data source
  • analytic method
  • practical implication

Out of Scope

The journal does not consider manuscripts that are purely promotional, lack a research question, duplicate previously published work, make unsupported clinical or policy claims, present unverifiable results, or fall outside global research communications. Manuscripts that are technically sound but do not fit the journal's subject identity may be returned before peer review.

Editorial Standard

The journal does not require spectacular novelty. It requires a clear contribution, appropriate citations, transparent methods, relevant ethical approvals where needed, and a limitations section. Reviewers and editors should ask whether the work is trustworthy and useful for its intended readership.
