Journal of Youth and Adolescence is a peer-reviewed academic journal focusing on adolescent development, behavior, and mental health. The journal publishes empirical research, review articles, and methodological papers relevant to adolescence, youth policy, and clinical practice. It serves researchers, clinicians, and policymakers interested in developmental trajectories, risk factors, and intervention outcomes.
The journal was established in 1972 during a period of expanding scholarly interest exemplified by institutions such as Stanford University, Harvard University, University of California, Berkeley, Yale University, and Columbia University; early contributors included scholars associated with University of Michigan, University of Wisconsin–Madison, University of Chicago, University of Pennsylvania, and University of Minnesota. Over subsequent decades the journal intersected with research trends from centers like Max Planck Society, Oxford University, Cambridge University, King's College London, and University College London; editorial leadership shifted among academics linked to Cornell University, Northwestern University, University of Toronto, McGill University, and University of British Columbia. The publisher evolved alongside multinational firms such as Springer Science+Business Media, Wiley-Blackwell, Elsevier, Taylor & Francis, and SAGE Publications; editorial policies reflected debates influenced by reports from National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation, World Health Organization, United Nations Children's Fund, and American Psychological Association.
The journal emphasizes developmental, clinical, and social dimensions researched at sites such as Johns Hopkins University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Princeton University, Duke University, and Brown University; topics often connect to longitudinal work from Framingham Heart Study, policy analyses tied to U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and intervention trials associated with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. Articles address adolescent cognition and identity formation in contexts represented by institutions like University of Michigan School of Public Health, Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health, The Brookings Institution, RAND Corporation, and Kaiser Permanente; the aims include advancing measurement, informing practice at clinics such as Mayo Clinic and Cleveland Clinic, and influencing programs administered by entities such as UNICEF and World Bank.
The editorial board comprises scholars affiliated with universities and organizations including University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, University of Chicago, New York University, and London School of Economics; associate editors have held posts at University of California, Los Angeles, Emory University, Vanderbilt University, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and University of Washington. The journal is published monthly by Springer Science+Business Media with production standards comparable to titles like Developmental Psychology, Child Development, Journal of Adolescence, Pediatrics, and Archives of General Psychiatry; submission processes align with guidelines advocated by Committee on Publication Ethics, International Committee of Medical Journal Editors, and professional societies including American Psychological Association and Society for Research in Child Development.
The journal is indexed in major databases and services such as PsycINFO, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Medline; visibility is comparable to outlets tracked by Clarivate Analytics, Elsevier', Google Scholar, EBSCOhost, and ProQuest. Abstracting partners and citation services include directories used by WorldCat, CrossRef, ORCID, DOAJ, and institutional repositories at Harvard Library, British Library, and Library of Congress.
Scholarly impact is reflected in citation metrics reported by entities such as Clarivate Analytics, Scimago Lab, Elsevier, Google Scholar, and National Institutes of Health; the journal has informed practice and policy referenced in reports from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, World Health Organization, UNICEF, UNESCO, and OECD. Reception among professional organizations including American Academy of Pediatrics, American Psychiatric Association, Society for Research in Child Development, International Society for Research on Adolescence, and European Society for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry has been positive, with articles cited in guidelines and position statements issued by bodies such as United Kingdom National Institute for Health and Care Excellence and Royal College of Psychiatrists.
Published works have contributed to debates involving researchers associated with Daniel Offer, Eliot Spinrad, Alan Sroufe, Margaret Beale Spencer, Nancy Eisenberg, Diana Baumrind, and institutions like Institute of Child Development (University of Minnesota), Child Mind Institute, and Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University. Key contributions include longitudinal analyses paralleling designs from Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Study, intervention evaluations similar to work at Purdue University, and meta-analyses employing methods championed by Cochrane Collaboration; findings have influenced curricula at Teachers College, Columbia University and clinical protocols at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
