Any experiences with submitting to Youth and Society? Seems to fit the topic of my paper well, and they've published related stuff in the past several years. But I am wondering about typical length of review time. Also, I notice that the editor is a Psychologist and don't recognize the editorial board members as Sociologists... though there is certainly lots of work by sociologists in the journal.
Just curious if anyone has recent experiences. Thanks!

I recently submitted to Y&S and received positive reviews back in a little over three months. The reviews seemed reasonable, and not particularly biased towards any psych perspective. I'm in the middle of the whole process with them, though, so I don't know how the second round will go!

Anyone else have experience with this journal? It seems strange that they have a ton of papers published "Online First" that haven't gotten into a specific issue yet. One paper is from 2010 and a number are from 2011. Are they just accepting too many articles?

I recently got a desk rejection and the only comment was this: "We have decided that studies of university students are beyond the scope of the Journal." My sample included some high school and some college students. The journal's description says it "focuses on issues related to the second decade of life," so that was my bad for going beyond that. Good luck with your submission!

Definition of youth--if I were you I'd contact the editor to clarify this policy. I had a paper desk rejected there last year for a similar reason but I'm pretty certain it was the editorial assistant who made the (faulty) call. When I contacted the editor to ask about it, he asked me to change some of the language describing my sample (to clarify the age of participants) and then to re-submit it as a new submission. I almost didn't because I thought all of this was so frustrating... but I did it and now my paper was recently accepted after 1 R&R and then a conditional accept, the reviews were reasonably good and all of the decisions were timely. Hope that helps, bump.

Thanks for the heads up, 2 cents. (DofY here.) I just got a R&R on the paper at another journal, but if it gets rejected I might ask about the policy and will see about re-submitting to Y&S.

Hi all. I emailed the current editor, Marc Zimmerman, for some clarification. He said, "we do not publish studies that sample undergraduate students from campus (we do publish studies of youth 10-24 years old, but they cannot be sampled from university/college campus)." So it sounds like the answer is it depends on your sample. Good luck to all!
