Discourse & Society aims to foster the development of research in Media studies, Gender studies, Linguistics, Politics and Critical discourse analysis. In it, Anthropology, Art history and Narrative are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Media studies research. The studies on Gender studies discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Identity (social science), Ethnic group and Ideology.
Discourse analysis and Context (language use) are some of the study areas of Linguistics discussed. The work on Discourse analysis addressed in it expands to the thematically related Epistemology. The Epistemology study featured in the journal draws parallels with the field of Social psychology.
Most of the works presented in it deals with Politics but it intersects with the subject of Social science.
The most cited publications cover a variety of subjects, including Critical discourse analysis, Linguistics, Gender studies, Politics and Social psychology. The study of Critical discourse analysis in the published papers encompasses disciplines such as Civil discourse, as well as fields such as Domain of discourse, all of which overlap with one another. The journal papers tackle studies in Epistemology and the interrelated subject of Rhetoric to gain insights into Linguistics.
Media studies, Politics, Ideology, Discourse analysis and Critical discourse analysis are the subjects of interest in the journal. The concepts on Media studies presented in Discourse & Society can also apply to other research fields, including Context (language use), Social media, Racism and News analytics.

The journal focuses on Critical discourse analysis but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Epistemology, Advertising and Legal practice.
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.

The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.
The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.
During the most recent 2021 edition, 7.02% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 9.43% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 7.55% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 15.09% of all publications and 67.92% were from other institutions.
A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.
The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.
The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.
Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).
The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
An important aspect to consider is the direct practical relevance of the research presented in Discourse & Society. The studies' findings can significantly influence various areas in society such as mental health counseling. For example, understanding the discourses around mental health can be a crucial aspect for mental health practitioners as it shapes their understanding of the subject, their practice methods and their engagement with clients. A clear understanding and application of such discourses can help in shaping a more inclusive and empathetic society.
A complete career journey into mental health counseling with its necessary educational qualifications, including the license acquisition process, is adequately explained in our article on how to become a mental health counselor in Hawaii. As a mental health counselor, it's important to stay updated with recent research trends, as the knowledge and insights derived can greatly inform their practice. Therefore, closer examination and continuous interaction with journals such as Discourse & Society can contribute to the overall improvement of their professional services.
