Call for papers
In recent decades, the measurement and evaluation function has demonstrated its relevance in the strategic management of communication in organizations (Macnamara,2023; Capizzo, 2022; Macnamara & Gregory, 2018; Adi & Stoeckle, 2021). The wisdom of the classic axiom "you cannot manage what is not measured" is undeniable nowadays for communication management.
Yet measurement and evaluation as an essential stage in the strategic planning of communication (see the RACE matrix), has a less straightforward history including research history. Countries likes the United States, United Kingdom and Germany claim more than 80 years of professional experience in measurement and evaluation of communication (Lindenmann, 2005). Associations too, mostly western-based, celebrate decades of practice. AMEC (International Association for the Measurement and Evaluation of Communication) for instance celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2021, launching a dedicated space for academic collaborations, while the IPR Measurement Commission has reached this milestone this year. Within the Latin American space, notable contributions were made by (in chronological order) Castillo y Álvarez-Nobell (2015); Batteries and Bowen (2013); Likely and Watson (2012); Alvarez-Nobell (2011); Álvarez-Nobell y Lesta (2010); Armendariz (2010); Michaelson and Stacks (2011); Cuenca (2010); Yanaze (2010); Lindenmann (2005) and Kunsch (1997) among others.
Already anticipating recent trends in the field, in 2005 Volume 2 of the Organicom magazine (2005) dealt with this topic. Published under the title "Avaliação e mensuração em Comunicação Organizacional", the journal features significant works: Xifra-Triadú (2005), Grunig (2005), Lopes (2005) and Yanaze & Crepaldi, (2005).
In 2022, as in 2005, measurement and evaluation of communication remains both exciting and worrying as it raises the expectations of those who bet and invest in organizations, based on the potentials offers of communication management. This is partly due to the fact that technology and digitization have modified and integrated communicative processes around a virtual world, intensifying the value and impact of the meaning of actions and messages under fundamentally relational flows and characteristics.
Measurement and evaluation give a strategic and essential role to those who exercise the function of Dircom (PR/Comms), as it enables them to constantly prove their contribution towards the achievement of organizational purposes and their adding value to the organization. However, to demonstrate this contribution, it is necessary to embrace and apply – both in academia and in corporate environments (companies, NGOs, research providers and communication agencies) - a set of assumptions. These assumptions -empirical, theoretical and even methodological- once recognized would allow practitioners and academics alike to understand this integral (and integrated) vision of measurement and evaluation in strategic communication. These assumptions must legitimize the evaluation function in integral relation to the communication planning processes that are supposed to create the effects.
In this special edition, the Organicom Journal seeks to bring together theoretical, applied and empirical studies on the function, practices and tools of measurement and evaluation in the strategic planning of communication, as a continuous, formative and summative activity in terms of results; and in relation to the objectives organizations, the purpose and those objectives (such as the SDGs; ‘wicked problems’ and VUCA) that also guide the economic impact, social and environmental.
In this sense, articles that meet the following subtopics will be accepted:

This dossier proposed by Organicom journal is inspired by the central theme of the Second Meeting of the Latin American Communication Research Network (RedLACo), held on November 17, 2020. The objective is to analyze the social, political and economic context of the Latin American region from the communication in and from organizations, to question professional practice in the light of the demands it presents. On the one hand, these demands cause organizations to develop their communication processes based on globalization, wanting to be everywhere, but not to be anywhere safely (GARCIA CANCLINI, 2007). On the other hand, these demands represent a change in the role that organizations play in society, more responsibility is required in their actions and in terms of communication, greater transparency. However, more transparency and accountability do not guarantee the reduction of crises.

In the field of communication, organizations can be taken as relational environments instituted and updated by and in discursive practices, either from institutional processes and strategies, or from disturbances caused between management forces and emergencies of audiences. In addition, the power of organizational discourses in the perspective of instituting worldviews that, in some way, converge with the principles and desires of the organizations themselves, is evident. Therefore, organizational discourses are symbolic conformations, marked by interactional traces, oriented to produce effects of specific meanings with a view to instituting certain truths. In these discourses, individuals take places (subject positions); in them symbolic forms prescribe concrete processes of material (re)production – a gesture that, in contemporary contexts, tends to be crossed by strategic sophistications and by outbursts of experiences.
Thus, different epistemic-theoretical and methodological perspectives of discourses have gained space in the scope of research on organizational discourse due to their power as research lenses, especially when they allow us to pay attention to the complex and dynamic processes that intend to constitute stability, define identity contours and strategic positions, naturalize power relations, (dis)qualify differences, affirm legitimacy, generate recognition and establish structures, among other things.
Organizational discourses, therefore, imply unfinished interactional processes between organizations and audiences, although they present themselves as a field of disputes shaped by (never fully attainable) desires for accommodation, capture and/or control by management strategies and by the desires of building concept images, becoming categories that reveal contexts, power relations, resource distribution and diverse disputes. In this configuration, both professional fields of communication and communicational spheres emerging from audiences present themselves as spaces that reveal discursive practices, dear to organizational communication studies.
In this dossier, Revista Organicom seeks to gather epistemic, theoretical, empirical and/or methodological studies that mobilize different approaches to Organizational Discourse, aimed at highlighting contexts, practices and processes of production and circulation of meanings in the relational environments that constitute and cross interactions between organizations and audiences.
