About the PR Journal

Join the Editorial Review Board: Public Relations Journal

The Public Relations Journal, published quarterly by the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA), is an open-access, peer-reviewed electronic research journal facilitating the transfer of knowledge from the educational community to the professional community. Donald K. Wright, Ph.D., APR, Fellow PRSA, Harold Burson Professor and Chair of Public Relations, College of Communications at Boston University, is the editor. 
 
Dr. Wright is one of the world’s most published public relations scholars with a solid footprint on the academic and practitioner sides of the public relations profession. Past recipient of the PRSA Outstanding Educator Award, Dr. Wright is a member of the boards of trustees for Arthur W. Page Society and Institute for Public Relations.
 
“Our goals are to support and facilitate an increase in quality public relations research within the academic community, promote research necessary to grow and build public relations as a profession, and earn respect throughout the academic community as a highly thorough juried publication,” said Dr. Wright.
 
An editorial review board consisting of more than 40 noted educators and public relations executives reviews articles submitted to the Journal. Articles are submitted through a double-blind review, and approved by a practitioner and an educator. A panel of editorial review board members with expertise in education and practice arbitrate issues between scholars and practitioners.
 
While a Public Relations Journal was published until the mid-1990s, its task was similar to PRSA’s news and feature periodicals.
