Announcement of New Editor
The Research Committee of the Society of Park and Recreation Educators has selected Dr. Kimberly J. Shinew to serve a three-year term as editor of the Journal of Leisure Research (2008-2010).
Manuscripts should be sent or emailed to:
The Journal of Leisure Research is devoted to original investigations that contribute new knowledge and understanding to the field of leisure studies. Studies that do not clearly focus on leisure or recreation (i.e., do not use leisure or recreation as a central construct) are not suitable for the Journal. Empirical reports and review papers as well as theoretical and methodological articles are accepted for review. Commentary, rejoinders and other critical papers are also accepted. Book reviews are typically invited but unsolicited book reviews are considered. For submission of papers see Guidelines for Contributors.
The Journal of Leisure Research is published by The National Recreation and Park Association in cooperation with Texas A&M University, Department of Recreation, Park and Tourism. Printed articles are the expressions of authors and are not statements of policy of the National Recreation and Park Association or Texas A&M University, Department of Recreation, Park and Tourism.
