The new Editors-in-chief wish for JRDS to continue to be an important outlet for research on how quantitative methods and statistical techniques can supplement qualitative analyses in linguistics and communication science. This approach opens up important and exciting theoretical perspectives, as well as solutions for a wide range of practical problems, by introducing into linguistics and communication science the methods and models of advanced scientific disciplines prevalent within the natural sciences, economics, and psychology. It aims at the dissemination and publication of original contributions which bring developments and improvement in quantitative methodologies to the attention of both linguists and communication scholars.

Contributions should contain empirical analyses of data from different languages and from different theoretical perspectives and frameworks, providing new findings and innovative approaches in any area of linguistics and communication science.

The journal publishes two issues per volume year, and welcomes proposals for guest-edited special issues.
