The Journal of Intercultural Communication Research (JICR) is a publication of the World Communication Association. JICR seeks submissions exploring the dynamic interplay between culture and communication and the symbolic facets of cultural interaction in direct or mediated contexts using a broad spectrum of methodological perspectives. JICR is deeply committed to contributing to the culture and communication theory and providing insights that have real-world applications for practitioners, communities, and individuals engaged in cross-cultural and intercultural communication. Therefore, we encourage authors to consider the potential impact of their research and to articulate the theoretical contribution and practical applications of their findings by identifying specific ways that the findings can be used by counselors, international educators, communities, and professionals engaged with intercultural scholarship. Also, we value well-structured and visually engaging submissions and expect the manuscripts to adhere to the Taylor & Francis submission template.
