International Communications in Heat and Mass Transfer serves as a world forum for the rapid dissemination of new ideas, new measurement techniques, preliminary findings of ongoing investigations, discussions, and criticisms in the field of heat and mass transfer. Two types of manuscript will be considered for publication: communications (short reports of new work or discussions of work which has already been published) and summaries (abstracts of reports, theses or manuscripts which are too long for publication in full). Together with its companion publication, International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, with which it shares the same Board of Editors, this journal is read by research workers and engineers throughout the world.

熱傳質領域的國際交流是快速傳播熱傳質領域新思想、新測量技術、正在進行的調查的初步結果、討論和批評的世界論壇。出版將考慮兩種類型的手稿：通訊（新作品的簡短報告或已出版作品的討論）和摘要（報告、論文或手稿的摘要太長，無法完全出版）。該雜志與其配套出版物《國際熱質傳遞雜志》，與國際熱質傳遞雜志共享同一個編輯委員會，由世界各地的研究工作者和工程師共同閱讀。
