Family Relations: Interdisciplinary Journal of Applied Family Science Family Relations primarily publishes empirically-based original research articles, including meta-analyses and program evaluations.

A peer-reviewed academic journal of the National Council on Family Relations, Family Relations is a translational science journal that publishes contemporary scientific content about families for professionals who work with families. The journal’s applied focus means that articles are expected to have clear implications for practice; that is, to provide guidance on how the findings can be used to

address challenges or enhance experiences in families or romantic relationships. Most family scientists view Family Relations as the premier scientific journal for finding this type of applied research on family issues. Indeed, the primary strength of Family Relations relative to other family science journals is that it bridges the gap between family scholars and the educators and practitioners (e.g., family life educators, therapists, policy specialists, nurses, attorneys, etc.) who work with families or family issues in an applied context.
