Journal of Research on Adolescence Impact Factor, Indexing, Ranking 2024

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.

《JRA》致力于发布具有创新性和严谨性的研究成果，旨在深化对青少年发展的理解。该期刊接受与青少年发展相关的各类主题的稿件，要求采用严谨的定量或定性研究方法，并考虑生命第二十年的样本（尽管对于约18-20岁的大学生样本，需要强有力的论证以证明该样本并非便利样本）。稿件应深化对青少年发展的理解，而不仅仅是研究具有青少年样本的现象，因此应基于发展理论和先前的发展研究。期刊不对特定的研究方法进行排除，但偏好包含多样化且具有代表性的样本、有效且多样的信息来源、以及最佳实践定量或定性分析策略的研究。稿件应明确阐述对青少年发展理解的进展以及改善青少年生活的应用。
