The scholars and researchers can use the results as the support data to design the modern future researches that conform with nowadays international academic trends. Use the qualitative research method, the abstract analysis from an academic journal in the field of new media and computer-mediated communication. 192 academic journal abstracts from the Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication (JCMC, the 1st ranking of communication journals in ISI database) are chosen. First, separate and categorize the data, study the frequency and relation between each category. Thence, synthesize and integrate the analytics data to concise the annual research trends and the changing of research trends from 2012 – 2018 CE. The results are found that the present and nearly future of academic research trends focus mainly on digitally mediated communication especially digital mobile devices. These trends also cover the researches from the developing countries, researches in political communication behaviors, new research methodology and methods such as social network analysis, data analysis system, algorithm-based of artificial intelligence, and machine learning.
