Research Publications

The School of Communication and Information faculty produce research that has an impact —both scholarly and societal— on local, state, national, and global levels. Our researchers are deeply committed to innovating and refining methods to best address the ever-evolving landscape, complexities, and consequences of communication, information, and media.

The school is proud to present its scholarly publications for the years listed below. These include books, edited books, book chapters, edited journal special issues, journal articles, online articles in advance of publication, published conference proceedings, reports, white papers, electronic publications, dissertations, and publicly accessible scholarship.

Articles are in print, online first, or online only. Some entries are pre-prints and have yet to be peer-reviewed. For access to full-text, logging into the RU library with a NetID may be necessary.
