Abstract:

Based on the content analysis of articles published in 2011—2020 of six professional
academic journals that are representative of publishing science and communication science, this
article points out that these two disciplines have different research objects and problem domains.
Communication studies the process and effect of information communication, especially the effect
of short-term and public-related issues within the scope of the dissemination. Publishing science
focuses on the production and communication of knowledge, especially how to disseminate and
inherit through the organizational behaviors of the publishing units, and pays more attention to the
long-term survey of social and cultural values. This article also conducts an exploratory analysis
of the paradigm of publishing science, and proposes the paradigm of media studies, political
economy and publishing history. This article concludes that the science of publishing has been
basically formed as a knowledge classification system, while the subject of publishing remains to
be developed as a knowledge labor organization.
