Journal of Youth Studies

Journal of Youth Studies is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal devoted to the study of young people and youth-related social, cultural, political, educational, and economic questions. It was established in 1998 and is published by Taylor & Francis. The journal provides a forum for research examining youth as a distinct social and cultural category while also considering how young people's experiences are shaped by institutions, generations, identities, labour markets, education systems, family relationships, media, politics, and wider processes of social change. The journal's subject area is interdisciplinary. Relevant work may draw on sociology, education, cultural studies, political science, social policy, anthropology, geography, media studies, and related fields. Its scope is therefore broader than a specialist publication focused on one national youth population or one methodological tradition. The journal's central concern is the production and interpretation of knowledge about youth, including the ways in which young people negotiate transitions, construct identities, participate in culture and politics, and experience inequality. As an academic journal, its principal offerings are research articles and other scholarly content rather than consumer products. Its audience includes researchers, university teachers, postgraduate students, policy specialists, and professionals working with or studying young people. The publication is distributed through Taylor & Francis's academic publishing infrastructure and is available to international institutional and individual readers through the publisher's journal platform. The journal publishes ten issues per year, giving it a relatively frequent publication schedule within the social sciences. Its editorial leadership has included Robert MacDonald of Monash University, Tracy Shildrick of Newcastle University, and Dan Woodman of the University of Melbourne. The journal has also been tracked by Journal Citation Reports; the available reference material records a 2017 impact factor of 1.724 and a ranking of 26th among 98 journals in the Social Sciences, Interdisciplinary category. Such metrics describe its citation performance for a particular reporting period and do not by themselves define the journal's scholarly scope or quality. Journal of Youth Studies is best understood as a specialist scholarly publishing title rather than a conventional commercial brand. Its identity rests on its editorial scope, peer-review process, recurring publication programme, academic contributors, and position within Taylor & Francis's portfolio of research journals.

Journal of Youth Studies was established in 1998 as a peer-reviewed academic publication dedicated to research on youth. From its beginning, the journal occupied an interdisciplinary position, reflecting the fact that youth is studied across sociology, education, cultural studies, politics, anthropology, social policy, geography, and related fields. Rather than treating young people only as a demographic group or as subjects of educational policy, the journal's remit encompasses youth cultures, identity, transitions, participation, inequality, institutions, and changing social conditions. The journal is published by Taylor & Francis, an international academic publisher. Its publication model is that of a recurring scholarly periodical: researchers submit manuscripts, articles undergo editorial assessment and peer review, and accepted work is published as part of the journal's continuing volume and issue sequence. Taylor & Francis also provides the journal's online distribution and access infrastructure for academic libraries, institutions, and individual readers. The publication schedule recorded in the available reference material is ten issues per year. This schedule supports a continuing flow of research in a field that changes with developments in education, employment, migration, technology, popular culture, family life, politics, and public policy. The journal's international orientation is also reflected in its editorial leadership and the geographical range associated with contemporary youth research. Robert MacDonald, Tracy Shildrick, and Dan Woodman are identified as editors-in-chief, affiliated respectively with Monash University, Newcastle University, and the University of Melbourne. Their listed affiliations connect the journal's editorial work with established university-based research communities in Australia and the United Kingdom. The journal has been included in Journal Citation Reports. The available reference material gives it a 2017 impact factor of 1.724 and places it 26th among 98 journals in the Social Sciences, Interdisciplinary category. This provides a time-specific indication of citation activity and should not be read as a permanent measure, since rankings and impact factors vary by year and by database methodology. Today, Journal of Youth Studies functions as a specialist academic title within Taylor & Francis's journal portfolio. Its principal role is to disseminate peer-reviewed research and support scholarly exchange about young people, youth cultures, social transitions, and the institutions and inequalities that shape youth experiences.
