The Journal of Sex Research (JSR) is a scholarly journal devoted to the publication of articles relevant to a variety of disciplines involved in the scientific study of sexuality. Designed to encourage research and promote an interdisciplinary understanding of the diverse topics in contemporary sexual science, JSR publishes empirical reports, brief reports, theoretical essays, review articles, methodological articles, commentaries, and letters to the editor. 

The Journal does not accept personal narratives or case reports. JSR also publishes the Annual Review of Sex Research, devoted to comprehensive reviews of current topics in sexual science.

JSR actively seeks submissions from researchers around the world.

Want to submit a manuscript?
All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the JSR Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is double blind, and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts. 

NEW!!
The Journal of Sex Research is pleased to offer sexuality researchers a new submission format to consider for their work: Registered Reports.

What is a Registered Report?
It's an approach to conducting and publishing research that is supported by more than 300 journals (JSR is one of the first sexuality journals to adopt them), in which Reviewers and the Editor provide authors with helpful feedback before authors carry out their research, with Reviewers providing results-agnostic appraisals of the research.
