Political Communication 36(4):660-665. doi:10.1080/10584609.2019.1670899.https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14078/1412The United States is the focal point of research on political communication. The dominance of the US scholarship is not an outcome of the efforts of a single peer reviewer, but rather an outcome of a larger system of knowledge production. Rojas and Valenzuela’s (2019) essay points out two issues related to cross-national research in political communication: how the US is treated as the “context-less” norm and how American scholarship shapes expectations for other areas of the world. Adding to this argument, I provide data about citation patterns in subfields within political communication as well as provide a summary of recent meta-analysis studies in political communication. These data affirm the US dominance in political communication scholarship.203.3KBPDFenAll Rights Reservedpolitical communicationUnited Statescross-nationalmeta-analysispublication biascitation patternsArticle Post-Printhttps://doi.org/10.1080/10584609.2019.1670899
