The Journal of Family Research is a multidisciplinary academic platform aimed at advancing knowledge in the field of family studies. It encourages scholars to submit research papers that cover various aspects of family structure, family relationships, family policies, family changes, and their social impacts. These studies can be based on quantitative or qualitative methods, including but not limited to case studies, surveys, historical analyses, and comparative research.

The journal places special emphasis on manuscripts that offer new perspectives, new theories, or new methods for understanding and interpreting family phenomena. It encourages authors to explore the diversity and complexity of families in different cultural, economic, and social contexts, as well as how families adapt to and influence macro social trends such as globalization, urbanization, and technological change.
