The Journal of Sex Research (JSR) is an international journal publishing interdisciplinary research on the scientific study of sexuality.
JSR is the official publication of the Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality (SSSS).
JSR is designed to stimulate research and promote an interdisciplinary understanding of the diverse topics in contemporary sexual science. Each year JSR publishes the Annual Review of Sex Research, an issue devoted to comprehensive reviews of current topics in sexual science.
JSR accepts empirical reports, brief reports, theoretical essays, review articles, methodological articles, commentaries, and letters to the editor. The journal does not accept personal narratives or case reports.
JSR considers papers on the topic of gender when they include focus on some aspects of sexuality. Similarly, we consider papers on the topic of HIV/AIDs and sexually transmitted infections when they include focus on some aspects of sexuality. JSR do not consider papers that validate translations of existing measures.
JSR welcomes submissions from researchers and practitioners in the fields of psychology, sociology, education, psychiatry, communication, and allied health.
Submissions from researchers outside of North America are particularly welcomed.
The journal operates a double-anonymized peer review policy.
