The '''''ISKCON Communications Journal''''' (''ICJ'') was a biannual [[magazine]]<ref>Rochford 2007, p.141</ref> of dialogue, focussing on issues related to missionary development in ISKCON ([[International Society for Krishna Consciousness]]) and with issues of communication, administration, social development and education which affected mission in ISKCON.<ref>ICJ Mission Statement, http://content.iskcon.org/icj/index.html</ref> ''ICJ'' also provided a forum for members of various communities to comment on ISKCON's development.<ref>Geertz, Warburg & Christensen 2008, p.32</ref> It was established in 1993<ref>Rothstein 1996, p.207</ref><ref>Robbins & Zablocki 2001, p.517</ref> and was published by ISKCON Communications Europe until its last issue appeared in 2005.<br />
<br />
The ''ICJ'' came to be regarded by scholars as ISKCON's intellectual magazine<ref>Geertz, Warburg & Christensen 2008, p.32</ref> and published papers by a number of prominent scholars.<ref>Altglas, Véronique 2005, p.165-188</ref> British sociologist [[James A. Beckford|James Beckford]] saw the ''ICJ'' as an example of the contribution of religious movements to their own academic study.<ref>Beckford 2003, p.153</ref> Beckford held that the magazine showed how "organic intellectuals" of ISKCON were discussing their research and ideas with scholars and in some cases conducting joint research.<ref>Beckford 2003, p.153</ref> According to the Danish religious studies scholar [[Mikael Rothstein]], the magazine was a means of internal communication in ISKCON, as well as forum for dialogue with academics. In his view, the magazine represented ISKCON's fundamental interest in good relations with the academic community.<ref>Rothstein 1996, p.207</ref><br />
<br />
The founder and [[Editor-in-chief|commissioning editor]] of ''ICJ'' throughout its life was [[Shaunaka Rishi Das]].<br />
