書面交流是一種國際性的多學科期刊，從人類學、英語、教育、歷史、新聞、語言學、心理學和修辭學等領域發表理論和研究。感興趣的題目有：寫作能力的性質；對寫作的評估；技術對寫作的影響（以及寫作對技術的影響）；寫作和寫作教學的社會和政治后果；非學術寫作；掃盲(包括工作場所和緊急掃盲以及課堂進程對掃盲發展的影響)；知識的社會建設；學科和專業領域的寫作性質；認知和作曲；書面文本和書面交流的結構；性別、種族、階級和寫作之間的關系；以及寫作、閱讀、演講和聆聽之間的聯系。對寫作研究者來說重要的課題的評論論文和研究評論也很有意義。與寫作有關的任何有價值的話題都不屬于《日刊》的范圍。書面交流中文章的理論和應用貢獻是明確的，并將與來自一系列學術學科的教師和研究人員相關。發表的文章將代表廣泛的方法，但每項研究的方法必須由專家處理。

Written Communication is an international multidisciplinary journal that publishes theory and research in writing from fields including anthropology, English, education, history, journalism, linguistics, psychology, and rhetoric. Among topics of interest are the nature of writing ability; the assessment of writing; the impact of technology on writing (and the impact of writing on technology); the social and political consequences of writing and writing instruction; nonacademic writing; literacy (including workplace and emergent literacy and the effects of classroom processes on literacy development); the social construction of knowledge; the nature of writing in disciplinary and professional domains; cognition and composing; the structure of written text and written communication; relationships among gender, race, class and writing; and connections among writing, reading, speaking, and listening. Also of interest are review essays and reviews of research on topics important to writing researchers. No worthy topic related to writing is beyond the scope of the journal.Theoretical and applied contributions of articles in Written Communication are made explicit and will be relevant to teachers and researchers from a range of scholarly disciplines. Published articles will collectively represent a wide range of methodologies, but the methodology of each study must be handled expertly.
