The Journal of Digital Communication is a peer-reviewed academic journal published by Duo El Production. This journal provides a platform for academics, researchers, practitioners, and students to publish original research, conceptual studies, and literature reviews related to the dynamics of communication in the digital era.
Background and Focus Founded on the premise that digital technological advancements—ranging from social media and artificial intelligence to platformization—have fundamentally transformed how humans interact, construct meaning, and organize society, this journal bridges the gap between technological studies and the social sciences.
The Journal of Digital Communication examines digital communication phenomena not from a technical or software engineering perspective, but through a social science lens that emphasizes the analysis of meaning, behavior, power relations, culture, and the social impacts of digital technologies. As a unique selling point (niche), the journal also gives special attention to the study of religious communication, religious moderation, and the transformation of local/Islamic boarding school (pesantren) values in digital spaces.
