Family and Consumer Sciences Research: A Compendium of Journals
Note: this file is based on the original compendium
published in 1992, with some updating provided by the Family and Consumer
Sciences Research Institute at Iowa State University in 1995. Sherman Hanna
converted this to HTML format and added some web links in May, 1996. The
original file from 1992 was used, with the updates from Iowa State inserted.
Some of the information may be out-of-date, because journals listed in
1992 did not respond to requests in 1995.
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.
Responses were received from 92 journal editors
(a response rate of 70%). Of these, 82 completed the questionnaire, 4 indicated
their journal did not accept outside manuscripts, 3 believed the journal
covered topics not in the realm of family or consumer economics, and 3
stated that the journal had ceased publication either temporarily or permanently.
The four journals that do not accept outside manuscripts are Economic
Review (Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City), Family Economics Review,
Federal Reserve Bulletin, and Social Security Bulletin.
The following information was collected from each journal:
Sponsor: Journal’s affiliation, usually a professional association
or university.
Appropriate topics: Consumer education, consumer/family economics,
consumer/family finance, consumer/family law, consumer/family policy, consumer/family
psychology, consumer/family sociology, financial counseling/planning, or
other related topical area.
Primary audience: Academic, practitioner, government, or other
category.
Frequency of issue: Number of issues each year.
Copies per issue: Paid and nonpaid subscriptions.
Type of review: Double blind (authors and reviewers unknown
to each other), single blind (authors known to reviewers or reviewers known
to authors), open (authors and reviewers known to each other), or editorial
(review by in-house editors only).
Acceptance rate: Percent of manuscripts submitted in 1990 that
were eventually published or are very likely to be published.
Average review time: Amount of time that passes between the
time a journal first receives a manuscript and when the authors are notified
of the results of the first review.
Number of reviewers: Number of people, excluding in-house editors,
who review a submitted manuscript.
Percentage of invited articles: Percent of articles published
in 1990 that were requested specifically by the editor or were from an
annual conference or meeting.
Maximum page length and preferred range of pages: Length
of a submitted manuscript, double spaced, including tables, figures, references,
and appendices.
Page charge to publish manuscript: If there is such a charge,
the amount. Many journals noted a submission fee. As submission fees were
not asked for specifically, such fees are not reported for all journals.
Manuscript guidelines: Where such guidelines could be obtained
most easily; the journal, editor, or elsewhere. Many journals noted a particular
style guideline. Because guidelines were not asked for specifically, these
guidelines are not reported for all journals.

OTHER INFORMATION: Journal aims to present research that will improve
understanding of behavioral, especially sociopsychological, aspects of
economic phenomena and processes. Economic psychology as a discipline studies
the psychological mechanisms that underlie consumption and other economic
behavior. Studies in economic psychology may relate to different levels
of aggregation, from the household and the individual consumer to macro
level of whole nations. Economic behavior in connection with inflation,
unemployment, taxation, economic development, as well as consumer information
and economic behavior in the marketplace are thus the major fields of interest.
