In the early 2000s, a group of ICA-member scholars undertook to create “the premiere and absolutely essential reference source in the field of Communication” which became The International Encyclopedia of Communication published by Wiley in 2008 under the leadership of late Wolfgang Donsbach. The initial set of 12 volumes and more than 1,300 entries was monumental. Yet it was only the beginning. New entries were added and as of 2015, new sets of volumes were commissioned that each focused on a specific area of our field. Today, the IEC boasts a whopping total of 56 volumes (including the initial set and 14 additional sets) offering more than 5,000 entries. Over the course of 20 years, more than 4,200 authors have contributed individually or as co-authors. --Francois Heinderyckx (U libre de Bruxelles)
