Visual Communication Quarterly

期刊简介：Visual Communication Quarterly (VCQ) is an international, peer-reviewed journal of theory, research, practical criticism, and creative work in all areas of visual communication. Our goal is to promote an inclusive, broad discussion of all things visual, while also encouraging synthesis and theory building across our fascinating field of study. We define "visual" in the broadest sense of the word -- from dreams and cognitive theory through gesture and geography, as well as issues concerning visual ethics, visual ecology, representation, visual media in all forms, and visual behavior. Methods range from tightly controlled quantitative studies through critical analysis, essays, qualitative scholarship, and creative art. We also print numerous single images and portfolios as well as multimedia work on our Web site, a rarity among academic journals. VCQ , the official publication of the Visual Communication Division of the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication , has published regularly since 1994. For 11 years, VCQ was distributed to more than 10,000 professionals and scholars through News Photographer magazine of the National Press Photographers Association. Our mission has broadened beyond visual journalism, design, and media to address the need for a publication encompassing the complex and wide-ranging field of visual communication and visual studies across media, art, and science. Our new format and distribution system not only allow us to publish more articles and creative work, while maintaining rigorous peer review, but also facilitate international access of articles and images through on-line databases. For additional information about VCQ , as well as resources in visual communication, visit the journal's editorial Web site: www.vcquarterly.org . Peer Review Policy All research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by two anonymous referees. Publication office: Taylor & Francis, Inc., 530 Walnut Street, Suite 850, Philadelphia, PA 19106.

【译文】视觉传达季刊（VCQ）是一份国际同行评审期刊，涵盖视觉传达所有领域的理论、研究、实践批评和创意作品。我们的目标是促进对所有视觉事物的包容性、广泛的讨论，同时鼓励在我们迷人的研究领域进行综合和理论建设。我们从最广泛的意义上定义“视觉”——从梦和认知理论到手势和地理，以及有关视觉伦理、视觉生态、表征、各种形式的视觉媒体和视觉行为的问题。方法范围广泛，从严格控制的定量研究到批判性分析、论文、定性学术和创意艺术。我们还在我们的网站上印刷大量的单张图像和作品集以及多媒体作品，这在学术期刊中很少见。 VCQ是新闻与大众传播教育协会视觉传播分会的官方刊物，自1994年起定期出版。11年来，VCQ通过国家新闻摄影师协会的《新闻摄影师》杂志向10,000多名专业人士和学者分发。我们的使命已经扩展到视觉新闻、设计和媒体之外，以满足对涵盖跨媒体、艺术和科学的视觉传播和视觉研究复杂而广泛的领域的出版物的需求。我们的新格式和分发系统不仅使我们能够发表更多文章和创意作品，同时保持严格的同行评审，而且还通过在线数据库促进文章和图像的国际访问。有关 VCQ 的更多信息以及视觉传达方面的资源，请访问该期刊的编辑网站：www.vcquarterly.org。同行评审政策 本期刊中的所有研究文章都经过了严格的同行评审，该评审基于最初的编辑筛选和两名匿名审稿人的匿名审稿。出版办公室：Taylor & Francis, Inc., 530 Walnut Street, Suite 850, Philadelphia, PA 19106。
