The Editorial Board of Contemporary Family Magazine seeks to showcase in-depth critical thinking without the restrictions and limitations of many peer reviewed journals. Rather, our mission is to more rapidly share new ideas in family science and human services, child custody and public policy with evaluations of applied research in these areas so that readers may consider how to implement findings in their own organization and community. Authors of these documents may find it easier for feedback, portfolio attributions and career growth.
