Longitudinal and Life Course Studies - International Journal
In 2012 the Society took over responsibility from Longview for this Journal, the aim of which is to provide an outlet for people across the world working in the field of longitudinal research, to publish substantive and methodological articles on their work, within the broad framework of life course enquiry.
Research papers from social, developmental and health scientists, from policy researchers and from those using longitudinal data in policy development and evaluation will be welcomed.
The content of each edition of the journal will comprise at least six academic papers averaging 5,000 words each – shorter or longer papers (up to 7,000 words also occasionally acceptable), followed by longitudinal study profiles, comment and debate and book reviews in due course. The bi-monthly SLLS newsletter carries news about the Journal and events related to it. Access to the newsletter is through membership to the Society. The Society's annual conference will be a major source of individual papers and Special Issues based on conference symposia.
