Journal of Family & Consumer
Sciences
The Journal of Family & Consumer Sciences is
the official publication of the American Association of Family & Consumer
Sciences (AAFCS). The Journal was redesigned and repositioned
in 2002 to be more magazine-like and more practical. It contains
peer-reviewed articles, along with a Practice section and
a Strategy section that translates the theory into action.
The Journal, which now includes an engaging 4-color
cover, is published four times a year: January, April,
September, and November.
