The Journal of LGBT Youth is the interdisciplinary forum dedicated to improving the quality of life for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning youth. This quarterly journal presents peer-reviewed scholarly articles, practitioner-based essays, policy analyses, and revealing narratives from young people. This invaluable resource is committed to advancing knowledge about, and support of, LGBT youth.

Peer Review Policy: All submitted manuscripts are subject to a two-stage review process. First, the manuscript is reviewed internally to confirm that it fits the parameters of the journal, is methodologically sound, and it brings additional insights to the subject. Should these criteria be met, then the manuscript is sent out for peer review. All peer review is single blind and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts. Authors are asked to provide, at the time of manuscript submission, any scholars they believe should not review the manuscript as well as at least two scholars who would be appropriate reviewers. The Journal may include these individuals, along with other qualified reviewers, in evaluating the manuscript. Any manuscript that requests the author to resubmit is subject to review by the same peer reviewers. All manuscripts must be accompanied by a signed letter from the authors attesting to their sole authorship and that the manuscript is not under consideration for publication elsewhere.
