Abstract
The editors of COMMUNICATION RESEARCH (Silvia Knobloch-Westerwick and Jennifer Gibbs) greatly appreciate the time and commitment that editorial board members and reviewers devote to the journal. We are very grateful for their input and expertise in supporting the journal’s mission. The quality and timeliness of publications in COMMUNICATION RESEARCH greatly depend on the reviewers’ feedback and performance.
Thanks to their commitment, the average time from submission until first decision decreased to 48 days and the average time from submission until final decision decreased to 70 days in 2016.
We would like to acknowledge and thank the reviewers from the editorial board and ad hoc reviewers for their service in 2016, as listed below.
In particular, we would like to thank Dr. Steve Rains for his outstanding service as a reviewer in 2016 and award him an honorarium by courtesy of SAGE.
