The School Community Journal (ISSN 1059-308X) is a refereed journal that includes research and field reports related to the school as a community of teachers, students, parents, and staff. Parent involvement, family-school relations, site-based management, sociology of education, systems theory, the classroom community, and other topics are covered. The school can function as a thriving community!
The School Community Journal is now an online-only, open access journal. We continue to provide the same high-quality, peer-reviewed articles and book reviews, now available free. The SCJ has been published twice each year since 1991. An international advisory council (listed below) establishes editorial policy; the editorial review board (listed below) facilitates the blind peer review process utilized to select articles. The SCJ is listed with ERIC, Ebsco, ProQuest, PsychInfo, and Educational Research Abstracts Online.
