The Future of Emerging Spanish Scientific Communication Journals

New scientific journals in communication have recently appeared in Spain, particularly within the last five years, and these specialized publications have come to play an increasingly important role in the dissemination of research results. In an effort to understand the future evolution of these journals, the authors used the Delphi technique with a panel of experts composed of communication journal editors. The results give some insight into the main trends of the role that these journals will play, including the measures they will take to be competitive, thereby overcoming their current limitations while enhancing their strengths.
