The Journal of Intergenerational Relationships is the forum for scholars, practitioners, policy makers, educators, and advocates to stay abreast of the latest intergenerational research, practice methods and policy initiatives. This is the only peer-reviewed journal focusing on the intergenerational field integrating practical, theoretical, empirical, familial, and policy perspectives. Papers published in the journal address intergenerational relationships, programs, theory and research that frame and inform our understanding of relationships among members of non-adjacent, "skipped", generations.
Peer Review Policy: All scholarly and practice articles in the Journal of Intergenerational Relationships have undergone a rigorous peer review based on an initial editorial screening followed by refereeing by two or more anonymous referees. Reviews of books and media have received editorial screening and been anonymously reviewed by the editor of book and media reviews and an editor or designate.
"A must-read for understanding the challenges facing today’s aging world! This unique journal provides diverse, cross-cultural perspectives and resources for anyone interested in exploring intergenerationalapproaches and issues related to relationships across generations.” – Leng Leng Thang, PhD, National University of Singapore

Understanding and using journal metrics
Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors
who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication.
However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s
quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it
should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to
support and not replace qualitative review.
We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside
other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its
readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In
addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and
never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.
Usage and acceptance rate data above are for the last full calendar year
and are updated annually in February. Speed data is updated every six
months, based on the prior six months. Citation metrics are updated
annually mid-year. Please note that some journals do not display all of
the following metrics
(find out why).
Usage:
