Abstract
All submissions (n =650) to JMFT for five years (1990–95) were analyzed by gender, setting, and degree of the first author; the major category of submission (research, clinical, theory, and training) was examined from 1980–95 and over two editorships. More detailed descriptors of article content were also studied. The most striking finding was that submission patterns are almost the mirror opposite of the membership profile of AAMFT. The prototypical submitter to JMFT is a male PhD working in a university setting and submitting papers most likely to be classified as research, whereas the prototypical AAMFT member is female, has a master's degree, works in a clinical setting, and probably has interests more likely to be defined as clinical. We discuss the implications of these findings and make recommendations.
