Youth and family scholarship : a collection of journal matrices

Abstract

Extension faculty publish for a wide variety of audiences including practitioners, researchers, educators, counselors, and community stakeholders. Identifying the appropriate journal to publish a body of work can be a daunting task, given the diverse number of audiences and publishing outlets. The following collection of resources is intended to support Extension faculty working with youth and families who are looking to publish in an interdisciplinary field. An appendix of completed journal matrices is included to aid faculty in identifying the most appropriate journal outlet for their work. The journal matrices provide pertinent information about each respective journal and how to submit a manuscript to that journal. This collection of journal matrices is a helpful tool for Extension faculty who focus on one or more of the following areas: youth development, family studies, parenting, health and wellness, nutrition, prevention science, obesity prevention, leadership development, volunteer management, financial education, literacy, cultural adaptations, financial literacy, community development, advocacy, and early learning
