Risk Communication Journals
Journals that publish risk communication-related articles
Risk communication is not confined to one discipline or line of inquiry. Instead, it involves - and has benefited tremendously from - the contributions of numerous disciplines, including psychology, sociology, education, public health, medicine and communication. To that end, the following list of journals that publish risk communication-focused articles is only a small sample of the shear diversity of the literature.
The journals presented here tend to publish the most articles in terms of volume, and can be considered (as such) the "standard" in the field. However, many other journals publish articles that 'fit the profile' of risk communication, and their contributions are just as important.
Finally, where appropriate, special attention is given to issues within these journals where risk communication in general (or about a specific topic) received special emphasis.
Risk Analysis (* special issue on environmental communication, 2003)
Journal of Health Communication (* special issue on anthrax/bioterrorism, June 2003)
Biosecurity and Bioterrorism (* special issue - communicating about Weapons of Mass Destruction [WMD])
