joc-theory-building

separate

Use when building the theoretical argument of a Journal of Communication (JoC) manuscript into a field-level contribution — whether the work is mechanistic-empirical, computational, interpretive, or critical. JoC rewards a clear, portable communication-theory argument over a bare finding. Structures the argument; it does not run analyses.

When to use

• building theoretical argument
• field-level contribution
• mechanistic-empirical work
• computational work
• interpretive work
• critical work
• stating mechanisms
• stating scope conditions

When not to use

• running analyses
