Background: The Journal of Family Research underwent several transformations over the last couple of years, most notably, it shifted its focus toward the international research community. Method: We describe the internationalization of authorship and of the countries under study using data extracted from JFR’s published articles between 2015 and 2023. Results: Both the authorship and the countries under study have internationalized over the observation period. Conclusion: The internationalization of the Journal of Family Research is proceeding successfully.engpublication policytransformationopen accessopen scienceaccompanying researchjournal evaluation300articleurn:nbn:de:bvb:473-irb-114218x
