• Resumen

  • This paper is a descriptive analysis of publication rates and citation patterns in organizational communication articles published in fifteen communication journals between the years 1979–1989. Results revealed that (1) approximately six percent of all articles addressed organizational communication, (2) the three journals that published the greatest proportion of organizational communication articles were Management Communication Quarterly, The Southern Communication Journal, and Human Communiction Research, and (3) sources most frequently cited are from three disciplines—communication, management, and psychology. Implications of these findings for the practice of organizational communication research are discussed.
