The International Journal of Technical Communication (IJTC) is a collaboration between three professional bodies: the ISTC (UK), the ASTC (Australia) and TechCommNZ (New Zealand / Aotearoa).
This online journal brings in perspectives from technical communicators across the globe and is available to all members of the organising institutions for free as part of their membership.

Launched on 14 May 2024, the journal opened with several articles and book reviews, with plans to expand its repetoire to include video and other items of interest to technical communicators.
Fully online and searchable, subscribers who opt-in can receive email notifications when a new article is published.
You can reach the journal’s editor at editor@ijtc.net for any queries regarding specific content or advertising. Queries regarding access to the journal should be directed to the appropriate organisation. ISTC members can email istc@istc.org.uk.
The IJTC is a separate publication to the ISTC’s Communicator, though some content may be published in both.
We want your articles!
Here are the rules:
- It doesn’t have to be of an epic length. We’re not expecting you to craft x-thousand words to fill a page.
- There’s nothing stopping you from sending in multiple small articles for a series, along the lines of our series from Jean Rollinson and CJ Walker.
- It has to be relevant to the technical communicators who are part of ISTC – as well as our Australian and New Zealand colleagues.
- It must not be generated using AI. You can, however, write about AI tools used within the tech comms field.
Take a look at the other articles already on the website and see if your subject would fit in.
When you’re ready to get your article(s) published, send it to editor@ijtc.net.
