Focus and Scope

Journal of Administrative and Communication Studies focuses on research in administration and communication studies, particularly those concerning organizations, institutions, government, business, and society. The journal provides a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary platform for examining administrative systems, organizational processes, communication practices, and their implications for institutional and societal development.

The journal welcomes original research and scholarly studies in the following areas:

1. Administrative and Organizational Studies

  • Public administration and governance;
  • Public policy and policy implementation;
  • Public service administration and service quality;
  • Organizational management and organizational effectiveness;
  • Leadership and organizational behavior;
  • Institutional development and institutional performance;
  • Human resource and administrative management;
  • Administrative innovation and organizational transformation.

2. Communication Studies

  • Organizational and institutional communication;
  • Public communication and public relations;
  • Strategic and corporate communication;
  • Media and digital communication;
  • Digital communication and communication technology;
  • Marketing communication and promotional communication;
  • Advertising and persuasive communication;
  • Consumer communication and digital consumer engagement;
  • Communication behavior, discourse, and social interaction;
  • Communication management and communication innovation.

3. Contemporary Administrative and Communication Issues
The journal particularly encourages studies addressing contemporary issues through administrative and/or communication perspectives, including digital transformation, digital governance, information management, transparency, accountability, public participation, stakeholder engagement, organizational adaptation, service innovation, media development, and the use of digital technologies in organizations and society.

The journal welcomes quantitative, qualitative, mixed-methods, systematic reviews, and other rigorous research approaches that provide a clear theoretical, methodological, or practical contribution to administrative and/or communication studies.

Studies should demonstrate a substantive connection to administration, organizations, institutions, or communication processes. Manuscripts that focus exclusively on general marketing, consumer behavior, product development, economics, finance, or other business topics without a clear administrative or communication dimension are outside the primary scope of the journal.
