Description
The Journal of International Crisis and Risk Communication Research (JICRCR) is a peer-reviewed, open-access publication that pioneers scholarly exploration into the human and mediated dimensions of crisis, risk, and emergency communication on a global scale. Launched by the Nicholson School of Communication and Media and now published by The Netherlands Press B.V., JICRCR provides a premier platform for original research that advances theoretical, empirical, and practical knowledge in communication strategies during times of uncertainty, disruption, and danger. It serves academics, policymakers, and practitioners seeking to enhance decision-making and public response in high-stakes scenarios.
Scope of the Journal
JICRCR welcomes interdisciplinary submissions across decision sciences (miscellaneous), social sciences, communication, and safety research, particularly those examining communication dynamics in risk assessment, crisis management, public safety, emergency response, misinformation, and resilience strategies. Topics of interest include strategic messaging during disasters, media roles in public perception, cross-cultural crisis communication, institutional risk governance, decision-making under uncertainty, community engagement, and technology-mediated communication in emergencies. The journal prioritizes research that contributes to the understanding and improvement of crisis preparedness, mitigation, and recovery efforts worldwide.
