Public Relations Journals



I am compiling a list of reputable PR journals. These five journals appear to be the most popular. Please let me know of others that I have overlooked.

PRism
PRism is a free-access, online, peer-refereed public relations and communication research journal. Each PRism issue contains full-length refereed scholarly articles, shorter non-refereed commentary pieces, and a range of book reviews, opinion pieces, and/or conference reports.


The Public Relations Journal
The Public Relations Journal, published quarterly by the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA), is an open-access, peer-reviewed electronic research journal facilitating the transfer of knowledge from the educational community to the professional community.


Public Relations Review
The Public Relations Review is the oldest journal devoted to articles that examine public relations in depth. Most of the articles are based on empirical research undertaken by professionals and academics in the field. Each issue contains half-a-dozen major articles, notes on research in brief, book reviews, and precis of new books in the fields of public relations, mass communications, organizational communications, public opinion formations, social science research and evaluation, marketing, management and public policy formation.


Public Relations Inquiry (PRI) is an international, peer-reviewed forum for conceptual, reflexive and critical discussion on public relations. The journal, which publishes three times a year, aims to stimulate new research agendas in the field of public relations through multidisciplinary engagement, and encompasses a broad range of theoretical, empirical and methodological issues in public and organizational communications in diverse cultural contexts.


Journal of Public Relations Research
The Journal of Public Relations Research publishes scholarship that creates, tests, or expands public relations theory. The Journal is produced for the Public Relations Division of the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication (AEJMC) in cooperation with public relations educators in the International Communication Association, National Communication Association, Public Relations Society of American, and International Association of Business Communicators.
