To date, 737 documents have been published in JIC, which includes 659 research articles, eight editorials, seven notes and 63 review papers. This paper also portrays the author impact list in terms of most impactful articles published in JIC. Country-wise Italy, Australia, and USA exert maximum influence on JIC scholarship.

The article discusses similarities of the Italian-Canadian cultural experience with that of the Italian-Australian. It references the pre-publication draft of "Italy in Australia's Musical Landscape" to highlight this observation of the Italian diaspora. It explores the social, political and industrial contexts of Italian migrations to Ontario in the 1950s and the social and cultural transformations resulting to multiculturalism in both Canada and Australia starting in the 1970s.
