From communication-research-skills
Routes Communication Research manuscripts to appropriate sub-skills based on lifecycle stage and study type. Entry point for quantitative theory-testing papers.

The orchestrator for a Communication Research (CR) submission. CR is SAGE's quantitative, social-scientific communication journal — predominantly hypothesis-testing experiments and surveys with rigorous measurement and explicit theory. The router's first job is to confirm the paper is theory-driven and quantitatively identified, then send the user to the matching skill.
commres-rebuttal)| Situation | Read | Route to |
|---|---|---|
| Hypothesis-driven experiment or survey, measured constructs | core CR fit | normal pipeline below |
| Computational/text-as-data with hypothesis tests on communication processes | in scope if theory-led | pipeline; emphasize measurement validation |
| Mostly qualitative / interpretive / critical | likely off-fit | re-route to Journal of Communication / New Media & Society before polishing |
| Method/measurement paper for its own sake | off-fit | Communication Methods and Measures |
CR is not multi-paradigm. If the contribution is interpretive or a platform description, the generalist or digital-media siblings fit better — decide this before investing in the pipeline.

Iterate: most CR papers loop theory ↔ design ↔ measurement several times before writing-style. If the
design is prospective, route to commres-transparency-and-data early to preregister.
Treat this skill as an executable review pass, not a prose hint. First lock the communication process, the measured constructs, the study design, and the inferential claim; then judge whether the manuscript answers CR's real reader: a quantitatively trained communication scientist who weighs theory, measurement validity, identification, and effect interpretation.
