Abstract
This article reports Social Sciences Citation Index®citations of six periodicals, three that cover business communication explicitly and three that address related areas. The results indicate that business communication articles are cited by many different journals—primarily in the areas of written communication, social sciences and education, and business and economics—but are not cited frequently. The results also indicate that business communication periodicals compare favorably on several indexes of impact with 10 communication journals studied by Clement So. Some differences are noted between the six journals, and the most-cited business communication articles are identified.Keywords
