The purpose of the AAFCS - Texas Affiliate Research Journal is to facilitate research in Family and Consumer Sciences. Implications of the research for Family and Consumer Sciences professionals should be emphasized in the manuscripts. For articles to be considered, they need to address the uniqueness of Family and Consumer Sciences. They should not be generic, but focus on the body of knowledge unique to FCS and have direct application to FCS professionals. Authors should discuss both the meaning of the results and how the results may be utilized.
