About this Journal
Established in 1963, the Journal of Extension (JOE) is the flagship journal for Extension professionals. As a peer-reviewed journal, JOE expands and updates the research and knowledge base for U.S. Extension professionals to improve their effectiveness and serves as a forum for emerging and contemporary issues affecting U.S. Extension practice.
JOE is a fully open-access journal published quarterly. It is included in the Web of Science Core Collection’s Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI), the abstract and citation database Scopus, the full-text database Education Resources Information Center (ERIC), and Cabell's Journalytics. JOE is also available via the EBSCOhost Research Platform.
The journal’s audience is U.S. Extension professionals and other outreach scholars. Articles published in JOE focus on best practices for disseminating university-based research findings to the public and identifying clear implications for U.S. Extension. JOE provides a venue for professionals and students to publish original and applied research findings and to share successful educational applications, scholarly perspectives, educational resources, and challenges on issues of critical importance to Extension educators. JOE publishes articles about research and projects conducted outside of the United States if the applicable study or project has implications for U.S. Extension, and those implications are clear.
JOE also supports effective scholarship through its commitment to author development.
