Journal of Research on Adolescence Impact Factor, Indexing, Ranking

Journal of Research on Adolescence (JRA) is a scholarly journal dedicated to publishing research in the field of Social Sciences, and Published by Wiley Blackwell. The Print-ISSN to Journal of Research on Adolescence is 1050-8392 and its abbreviation is J Res Adolesc.

JRA seeks to publish innovative and rigorous research that advances understanding of adolescent development. The journal considers manuscripts from the wide range of topics relevant to adolescent development, using rigorous quantitative or qualitative methodologies, and considering samples during the second decade of life (though samples of university students aged about 18-20 years need a strong justification that the sample is not one of convenience). Manuscripts should advance understanding of adolescent development, rather than merely study a phenomenon with an adolescent sample, and should therefore be grounded in developmental theory and prior developmental research. There are no exclusions of particular methodologies, though studies including a diverse and representative sample, with valid and multiple information sources, and/or with best practice quantitative or qualitative analysis strategies are preferred. Manuscripts should clearly articulate the advances in understanding adolescent development and the applications for improving the lives of adolescents.
