The communication discipline has grown at a steady pace over the past fifty years. It has begun to take its place among the other social science disciplines in terms of theory development and building a knowledge base. Communication as a discipline is not well understood, however. It has, therefore, been slow to be included in interdisciplinary science research projects, despite the fact that communication research would improve the quality of these projects and would, in some cases, prove to be a crucial element affecting the research results.To provide a means of informing the scientific community and federal funding agencies of the value of communication research to development of scientific knowledge, the National Communication Association will sponsor a working conference to review the significant scientific findings in communication and to develop a document that will inform others about the value of communication to science.The conference will be held March 1-4, 2001, in Tucson, Arizona, with preliminary work already completed at the annual meeting of the National Communication Association, November 9-12, 2000, in Seattle, Washington. The work of the conference will be facilitated by the use of a Group Decision Support System laboratory at the University of Arizona. Following the meeting, one or two individuals will edit the work into a paper, which will then be printed as a booklet suitable for wide distribution.

在过去的50年里，传播学科一直在稳步发展。它在理论发展和知识基础建设方面已开始在其他社会科学学科中占有一席之地。然而，沟通作为一门学科并没有得到很好的理解。因此，尽管传播研究可以提高跨学科科学研究项目的质量，而且在某些情况下，传播研究是影响研究结果的一个关键因素，但将传播研究纳入跨学科科学研究项目的速度却很慢。国家通信协会将主办一次工作会议，审查通信领域的重要科学发现，并编写一份文件，向其他人通报通信对科学的价值。2会议将于2001年3月1日至4日在亚利桑那州图森市举行，初步工作已经在2000年11月9-12日在华盛顿的西雅图举行的国家通信协会年会上完成。将利用亚利桑那大学的一个群体决策支助系统实验室来促进会议的工作。会议结束后，一两个人将把工作编辑成一份文件，然后印成一本小册子，适合广泛分发。
