The School of Human Sciences at Mississippi State University is sponsoring a new online, open access peer-reviewed journal, Journal of Human Sciences and Extension.

The editors are seeking high quality research and/or effective applied techniques related to human sciences. Researchers and professionals across the following disciplines are asked to submit manuscripts: human development; family studies; agricultural education; leadership development; extension; health and wellness; apparel, textiles, and merchandising; agricultural economics; nutrition and dietetics; family resource management; and program planning and evaluation.

The multidisciplinary nature of the journal offers authors a unique opportunity to submit manuscripts or reviews that are highly focused or broad in scope. The first issue is expected to be published online in June 2013, with the expectation of publishing three issues per year. The submission deadline for first publication date is March 1, 2013.

Detailed information is available on the journal’s website.
