The Journal of Leisure Research ( JLR) is an international scholarly journal that publishes innovative and interdisciplinary research that addresses critical issues of access to and engagement in leisure behaviors as they affect health and well-being across sectors (i.e., parks, recreation, leisure, sport, tourism, events) at individual, group, community and societal levels. (Please note that the journal receives a very large number of tourism papers many of which make no connection to leisure—only those tourism papers that make connections to leisure will be considered for review.) Research from disciplines that offer theoretical and methodological insights into various (e.g., positive, negative) aspects of leisure in all its forms, such as social, psychological, cultural, political and environmental contexts is presented.
Since it was first published in 1968, JLR has and continues to welcome rigorous original research, conceptual papers, rejoinders, research notes, reviews, meta-analyses, and reflective commentaries from around the world. JLR is an official publication of the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA). The Journal of Leisure Research is indexed by the Social Science Citations Index (SSCI).
