The objective of the journal is to combine knowledge in the areas of Developmental psychology, Audiology, Language disorder, Cognitive psychology and Linguistics. While it focused on Developmental psychology, it was also able to explore topics like Language acquisition and Cognition. Topics in Audiology explored in the journal were investigated in conjunction with research in Articulation (phonetics), Perception, Communication and Vowel.
While work presented in Journal of Communication Disorders provided substantial information on Language disorder, it also covered topics in Phonology and Specific language impairment. Aphasia is a major topic of Cognitive psychology research presented in it. Linguistics works presented in the journal have a specific focus on Sentence.
Research on Stuttering addressed in the journal frequently intersections with the field of Fluency.
The journal papers primarily tackle Developmental psychology, Language disorder, Audiology, Communication disorder and Cognition. In addition to Developmental psychology research, the published articles aim to explore topics under Cognitive psychology and Language acquisition. The journal articles with studies in Language disorder featured incorporate elements of Linguistics, Phonology, Reading (process), Specific language impairment and Aphasia.
The concepts of Developmental psychology, Audiology, Context (language use), Stuttering and Clinical psychology are tackled in the journal. Developmental psychology research is the primary subject tackled in the journal with a focus on Language development. Aside from investigating topics in Speech sound under Audiology, Journal of Communication Disorders also explores concepts in Correlation.
Context (language use) research featured in Journal of Communication Disorders incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Psychological intervention, Empathy and Style (sociolinguistics). Stuttering research in the journal involves the investigation of Contrast (statistics) studies, all of which are linked to disciplines such as Analysis of covariance, Phone call and Clinical research. It explores issues in Clinical psychology which can be linked to other research areas like Longitudinal study, Inter-rater reliability, Danish, Affect (psychology) and Diagnostic validity.
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.
The top authors publishing in Journal of Communication Disorders (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in Journal of Communication Disorders (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.
The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.
During the most recent 2021 edition, 6.35% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 11.86% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 11.86% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 15.25% of all publications and 61.02% were from other institutions.
A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.
The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.
The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.
Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).
The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

(2021)For students interested in expanding their expertise beyond a traditional psychology degree, pursuing related fields such as social work and counseling can open diverse career opportunities. Many professionals choose affordable programs to minimize debt while gaining quality education. Exploring the cheapest MSW programs is a practical first step for those looking to enter social work without excessive costs.
Time is often a critical factor for adult learners or career changers. Accelerated options like MSW accelerated programs provide an efficient pathway to licensure and advanced practice roles, allowing students to complete their degrees faster.
Similarly, the availability of a 2 year psychology degree online offers a streamlined approach to gaining foundational knowledge in psychology without the commitment of a traditional four-year program.
For those focused on counseling, it is essential to consider program accreditation to ensure licensure eligibility. The CACREP-accredited online counseling programs represent a trusted standard, making these programs highly regarded by employers and licensing boards alike.
