Message from the Editor

Family science involves the study of family life and family processes, and their determinants, sequelae, and import, across multiple levels of analysis. It embraces families as functional units that can come in many forms and structures that can develop and change across time and across generations. It incorporates the study of families as units unto themselves, as well as the component subsystems that comprise a family unit (e.g., parent-child, couple, and sibling relationships). Family science is inherently cross-cultural. It is informed by meta-theoretical frameworks (e.g., family systems, bio-ecological, family developmental theories, and others) that guide theoretically informed research questions about broader environmental determinants (e.g., culture, race, social class) of family life, and as well guide research questions about determinants of micro-processes within families that have broader import for family functioning as a whole. Indeed, family science embraces the point that family life and individual functioning and well-being are inextricably and bidirectionally intertwined. (See What Is Family Science?)

Governing Policies

  • Manuscripts must be submitted online are prepared for anonymous review, with a separate file for the author-identifying title page, mask location and university affiliation, and mask direction to specific previous work, such as for a more substantial description of methods.

  • Please note that all submissions are prescreened for suitability, including desk rejects for articles that do not meet the objectives of Family Relations and do not demonstrate high-quality documents with substantiated motivations for the study.

  • Papers that fail to comply with manuscript preparation guidelines may occasionally be rejected without peer review at the discretion of the Editor, particularly in cases where the paper does not comply with APA style guidelines or clearly falls outside the journal's scope.

  • Wiley Publications uses an Open Format policy for the original submission; however, APA 7th edition is required for publication in Family Relations.

  • All authors agree to adhere to the Peer Review Process.

What is the peer review process? Peer review assesses the quality of a manuscript when it is submitted for publication consideration and before it is published. The journal editor selects experts in the same and outside the field (one's peers) to independently review an article and provide feedback to help the Editor determine if a manuscript should be accepted, rejected, or revised. With the goals of the journal and the authors' guidelines centering scholars' work in mind, the peer reviewer assesses the scientific standards in the paper by looking for areas of growth, errors, or omissions, as well as strengths, innovations, and transformative areas of the peer review. If the Editor decides to continue the revision process, peer review feedback is provided to the author(s) regarding their work's quality, validity, and significance. Such a review might identify strengths and contributions of the article but also identify major concerns of what is missing, inconsistent, and advances the field of topic. The review process also provides suggested revisions requested and submitted to the author(s).

Why do we use the peer review process? We use peer review to ensure scientific quality and culturally-aware innovations to improve development. Peer review (a) enables the field to regulate the integrity of the science by qualified members (experts) of the profession, (b) eliminates poor quality articles that may undermine the primary principles of research: justice, respect, and beneficence, and (c) allows the author(s) to clarify and improve their presentation so that the paper meets the standards of the scientific community.

  • Authors are strongly encouraged to follow these guidelines, which are used for publication in Family Relations: Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA, 7th Edition).

    • https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/page/journal/17413729/homepage/forauthors.html

    • Works approved for publication must follow APA 7th edition.

      • Here is a resource: OWL Purdue APA Style.

      • Please write integrated paragraphs with a thesis sentence and four to six sentences with supporting evidence.

    • Use concise language that grounds the study is needed to support the formatting requirements. With 1-inch margins and specific font sizes, the entire document should not exceed 35 double-spaced pages, including the title page, abstract, text, references, and up to four tables and figures. Authors may seek guidance on submitting appendices to offer relevant content for the duplication of methods, transparency, and trustworthiness.

    • Please use one of the following fonts and corresponding point sizes: Calibri 11, Arial 11, Lucida Sans Unicode 10, Times New Roman 12, or Georgia 11. (See Family Relations Style Guide | National Council on Family Relations) 

    • Follow APA 7th Edition formatting.

    • Add heading levels and transitional sentences or phrases to guide the reader.

    • A processing fee ($25 for NCFR members and $35 for nonmembers) will also be collected at the time of submission.

    • Anonymous Review: Family Relations uses double anonymous review. Therefore, submissions should ensure the integrity of the blind peer-review process. Authors should make efforts to prevent identities from being known. Identifying information should be removed from titles and title pages (separate identifying title pages will be submitted). When referring to work done by the author should be masked, especially when referring directly to previous findings or methods. Location and university affiliation should be masked, such as when referring to Institutional Review Board approvals.

    • Plagiarism: Plagiarism is using someone else's ideas, thoughts, words, or images and presenting them as your own without giving them credit. Self-plagiarism is a form of plagiarism in which a person uses their previously published work. With both forms, authors must:

      • Cite the original source using APA 7th edition requirements.

      • Use quotation marks when using an author's direct words and your own previously published words.

      • Specifically, provide in-text citations for the author's name, date, and page number.

    • Plagiarism, whether intentional or not, violates ethical standards. If you are unsure if you might plagiarize someone else's work or your own, please review the ethics code standards cited in the APA Publication Manual, Seventh Edition. In these resources, authors will find information on plagiarism and self-plagiarism with examples and what to do to avoid plagiarism. Authors also may find using a plagiarism software program, such as iThenticate or Turnitin, helpful to check the written document.

    • Effective Use of Direct Quotations from Other Sources: Direct quotations of other authors and sources should be used minimally. By APA style, whenever possible, authors should paraphrase rather than directly quote the works of others to maintain continuity and concision in writing style (American Psychological Association, 2020, p. 270). Generally, authors of other works should only be quoted when paraphrasing would result in a substantial loss of the original author's meaning. When quotes are included, authors should adhere to APA 7 guidelines for quotation marks, citations, and inclusion of page numbers from the original source (https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/citations/quotations).

  • Family Relations is a member of and subscribes to the principles of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE)

  • Author Appeal Process

Authors may appeal an editorial decision if they feel that the decision to reject was based on either a significant misunderstanding of a core aspect of the manuscript, a failure to understand how the manuscript advances the literature or concerns regarding the manuscript-handling process. Differences in opinion regarding the novelty or significance of the reported findings are not grounds for appeal. To raise an appeal, please contact the journal by email, quoting your manuscript ID number and explaining your rationale for the appeal. The editor’s decision following an appeal consideration is final.

To raise a complaint regarding editorial staff, policy, or process, please contact the journal in the first instance. If you believe further support outside the journal’s management is necessary, please refer to Wiley’s Best Practice Guidelines on Research Integrity and Publishing Ethics.

Types of Manuscripts

  • Appropriate articles include empirically-based applied research; critical syntheses of relevant substantive areas; and reports of systematic program evaluations, analyses, and assessments of developed curricula for applied or academic programs.

  • FR also accepts manuscripts related to professional development in Family Science and manuscripts addressing philosophical underpinnings of the main activities in Family Science (e.g., educating Family Scientists, designing and delivering tools used in practice, and refinement and expansion of research methods).

  • Shorter communication manuscripts facilitate the diffusion of Family Science innovation and are vehicles for publishing a novel or emerging idea; ideas requiring further development (theoretically, methodologically, or both); and advances representing calculated scientific risks that have great potential to take the family discipline in fruitful, new directions.

  • Authors may write summaries or review manuscripts, summarizing major contributions by theme, over time, and across disciplines.

  • The specific types of manuscripts accepted:

    • Original Manuscripts present new Family Science discovery research, applied science, or translational science. Manuscripts can be no longer than 35 double-spaced manuscript pages, including a title page, abstract, text, up to 40 references, and tables and figures, should be no longer than approximately 35 double-spaced manuscript pages. These full-length manuscripts have empirical solid or theoretical footing and designs representing strong rigor and strategic research design.

    • Emerging Ideas Brief Report. These brief reports focus on new ideas related to advancing Family Science – either the science of discovery or the science of practice. The core characteristic of Emerging Ideas Brief Reports is their novelty to Family Science. Examples of Emerging Ideas Brief Reports include but are not limited to pilot studies of new strategies for measuring family-related constructs; exploratory studies of novel Family Science concepts; use of methods not typically employed in Family Science; and counter-intuitive findings from well-designed studies that challenge current thinking about families. Manuscripts can be up to 28 double-spaced manuscript pages, including a title page, abstract, text, 20 references, and a combined total of four figures or tables. 

    • Translating Discovery Science Brief Report. This format documents meaningful first steps in moving results from discovery science into the science of practice. Topics relevant to Translational Discovery Science Brief Reports include but are not limited to: advances in instrument development to address a need in applied practice; reports of program evaluations that improve the diffusion of Family Science innovation; and beta testing of promising new programs, materials, and methods (e.g., research designs, data uses, statistical techniques) that shed light on actionable strategies to support families. Manuscripts can be up to 28 double-spaced manuscript pages, including a title page, abstract, text, 20 references, and a combined total of four figures or tables.
