Journals that Publish Qualitative Research
Sometimes people ask us which journals would publish qualitative research related to families. There are many that do, and we don't have a systematic, all-encompassing list of them. However, we asked this question at the QFRN Business Meeting in 2010, and got several ideas. Here is a list that QFRN members put together. A few caveats about it, however:
- This list was created through suggestions from QFRN members.
- We have not checked this list with the editors of the stated journals.
- Editorial policy and priorities may change over time.
- Make sure that your manuscript fits the mission of the journal.
- Of course, to be published, an article needs to be good - regardless of what method it uses.
If you would like to add another journal to this list, let us know!
