Family and Consumer Sciences Research: A Compendium of Journals

 This compendium of journals relevant to Family and Consumer Economics

is a product of NCR-52 Family Economics Committee and the Family Economics

Research Group, Agricultural Research Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture.

NCR-52 Family Economics is a regional committee under the auspices of the

State Agricultural Experiment Stations and the Cooperative State Research

Service, USDA. The information was compiled by personnel of the Family

Economics Research Group. The NCR-52 committee expresses special appreciation

to Dr. Mark Lino of the Family Economics Research Group for his dedicated

efforts in collecting the information in this compendium, and to the editors

of the journals represented herein for providing that information. Production

of the publication was supported by grants from the Family Economics-Home

Management Section and the Research Section of the American Home Economics

Association.


 


 

About This Compendium:

 The purpose of this compendium is to help people prepare their

research for submission to a journal. There were 131 journals relevant

to family and consumer economics surveyed. A mail questionnaire was sent

to the editor of each journal in July 1991. A letter reminding editors

to return the questionnaire was mailed a few weeks later. A second mail

questionnaire was sent to nonresponding journal editors in September 1991.
