Expanding the Scope of the FCSRJ
The Family and Consumer Sciences Research Journal is now actively seeking manuscripts related to hospitality and tourism management. Although hospitality and tourism management manuscripts have always been welcome, FCSRJ has recently added an associate editor, Dr. Kwangsoo Park, to specialize in this area. The hope is to expand the scope of the journal, resulting in a new dissemination outlet for hospitality and tourism management researchers as well as providing research articles for our journal readers on this important FCS content area. Please watch for a call for papers for a special issue of FCSRJ focusing on hospitality and tourism management in early 2022.
