| description | This study aimed to explore the properties of the articles published in the journals of communicationschools in Turkey to understand the communication field’s general framework as represented in thesejournals. These properties include their subdisciplines, research methods and techniques, project support,levels of collaboration, and authors’ language preferences. For this purpose, all of the articles publishedbetween 2016 and 2020 in the journals of the communication schools listed in the Turkish Index (TRIndex) were examined via quantitative content analysis. The Turkish Academic Network and InformationCenter, an institute of the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK), developedthe TR Index. Eleven journals and 1641 articles in total were analyzed within this context. The analysisshowed that the majority of the articles published in the journals of communication schools displayedan interdisciplinary approach. The articles that analyzed new media predominantly adopted qualitativemethods. In addition, collaborative studies were less than single-authored studies, a very limited numberof the studies was supported by a project, and the number of articles written in foreign languages wasremarkably few. |
