IPR and PRSA Relaunch PR Journal, an academic, peer-reviewed, open-source journal

The Institute for Public Relations is partnering with PRSA to relaunch an academic, peer-reviewed, open-access journal, the “PR Journal.”
PR Journal is dedicated to offering the latest public relations and communications-based research. This includes the online “publishing” of articles by academics or practitioners who examine public relations in depth and/or create, test or expand public relations theory. We accept all appropriate methodologies including social-scientific, case studies, philosophical, legal/historical and critical. All submissions should be focused on “research that matters to the profession,” and should include a section that outlines that both in the paper and executive summary. Implications for the discipline are required. The Journal provides vital insights that professionals can incorporate into daily practice, and if of interest, explore rich academic studies and resources for a fuller perspective.

The rebranded journal combines IPR’s “Research Journal of IPR” with PRSA’s “PR Journal.” The new site includes links to the current issue and past issues of both journals:

If you are interested or know someone who may be, we are also looking for a new Editor-in-Chief—deadline for applications is August 1.
