This page is an archived copy of the Youth Studies Australia information page as the Australian Clearinghouse for Youth Studies published it. It is kept here as a record, and this site is an independent archive: it is not the clearinghouse, it does not publish the journal, and it cannot sell or renew a subscription. Read the present tense below as the tense of the original.
The current issue the page points to is the issue that was current when the page was written; the subscription and advertising terms describe an arrangement that ended with the clearinghouse, and the editorial addresses printed alongside them no longer reach anyone.
What the page is still good for is the shape of the publication: who it was written for, what an issue contained, and which regular sections carried the material that researchers now cite the journal for. The article indexes and issue summaries linked from here remain the fastest route into that body of work. Questions about this archived copy go to the editors of the archive.
Youth Studies Australia, issued quarterly by the Australian Clearinghouse for Youth Studies, is a peer-reviewed journal providing interdisciplinary, research-based information and analysis on the issues affecting Australians from early adolescence to young adulthood.
Aimed at practitioners, researchers, policy-makers and workers in the youth field, Youth Studies Australia is also accessible and relevant to senior secondary students.
Each issue contains at least five feature articles on subjects such as education, training, health, housing, juvenile justice, employment, culture and subcultures.
Other regular content includes:
- Youth Monitor, an extensive roundup, in précis form, of Australian press reports on youth issues
- Youth Initiatives, a column of news about programs and initiatives nationally;
- Book reviews;
- Abstracts of recent research papers from other youth-related scholarly journals in Australia and overseas, selected for their relevance and interest to Australian readers.
