Description

<p>The purpose of this paper is to discuss the reform of the editorial system of the Japanese Journal of Family Sociology in the 2000s, focusing on the following three points: 1) organization and management of the editorial committee; 2) improvement of the form of submitted manuscripts; and 3) improvement of the quality of the peer-review system and submitted manuscripts.</p><p>Since the 1990s, there has been an increase in applicants for social science at the graduate level and the acquisition of doctoral degrees. Against this background, the editorial committee had difficulties relating to the submission of papers and the peer-review system. In order to deal with these problems, we worked on organizational reform and prepared guidelines for editing and for the peer-review system. Through these efforts, the editorial committee reconfirmed the importance of “educational guidance” in both the peer-review system and the editorial work of this journal.</p>
