Communication is only one of the fundamental processes investigated by the information science. Consequently, “communication science” can be considered as a subdivision of “information science”. The number of periodic scientific publications currently available in the world in these areas is about 20 in the “science communication” and about 50 in the “information science”. Therefore, logically it would have to be translated into Romanian using the term “ştiinţa comunicaţiei” or „ştiinţa comunicaţiilor”. This new science has mainly emerged in relation to the phenomenon of media, and it is taught at the faculties of journalism of some universities in Romania, under the term “ştiinţa comunicării”.
