About Youth
Aims
Youth (ISSN 2673-995X) is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal covering psychological, educational, sociological, economic, cultural, and other social science perspectives on youth and young adulthood. Our journal welcomes a range of peer-reviewed submissions, including research articles, reviews, systematic reviews, and other manuscript types consistent with our aims and scope. We encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. Therefore, there is no restriction on the maximum length of the papers. The full description of the methods and analytic plan must be provided so the results can be reproduced.
Our mission is to collaborate with the global research community to advance scholarship that provide evidence-based insights aimed at supporting and enhancing the lives of young people, as well as the systems and environments that shape their development. We welcome partnerships with scholars, scientists, and research institutions that share this commitment.
