Communication sciences and disorders (CSD) encompasses speech-language pathology, audiology, and speech, language, and hearing science—fast-growing fields where interdisciplinary collaboration is the norm. Access to research in top-tier journals in CSD is vital to that collaboration.

Journals from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association—the professional, scientific, and credentialing organization for more than 140,000 clinicians and researchers in CSD—have been the pre-eminent sources for the research guiding the discipline for more than 75 years.

ASHA’s journals are:

Comprehensive – A total of 16 issues per year, across 4 titles, publishing nearly 3,000 pages per year
Respected – Top-tier, highly ranked journals that attract the highest quality research
In Demand – Nearly 1 million full-text downloads per year, indexed by MEDLINE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, ERIC, and many others
Easy to Use – A complete collection, including the 75+ year archive, on the fully COUNTER 3 compliant HighWire Press platform,
with all the features users expect and all the tools librarians and administrators need to manage the collection
Widely Cited – Relied on by scholars in many disciplines, including linguistics, otolaryngology, kinematics, exercise physiology, engineering, occupational therapy, physical therapy, music, psychology, education, special education, communication, neurology, nursing, radiology, and neuroscience
