About the publication

Title: Journal of Play in Adulthood

ISSN: XXXX-XXXX

Website: https://www.journalofplayinadulthood.org.uk

Purpose, objective, or mission: “The Journal of Play in Adulthood aims to provide a multidisciplinary forum dedicated to the discussion of play and playfulness in adults. The focus of this journal is on play in adulthood to explicitly distinguish it from children’s play, and to highlight that the motivations, contexts, and forms of play are, in many cases, different. It aims to increase understanding of the need for, and benefits of, play and playfulness after childhood, and to create a robust evidence base for the value of play throughout the life course for learning, working, and living well. It also seeks to explore the barriers to the use of play with adults, and potential solutions to increasing the role of play in lifelong education, the workplace, and wider society.” (footnote needed)

About the publication’s submission guidelines

Location of submission guidelines: Information goes here.

Types of contributions accepted: From an email by Andrew Walsh (may want to paraphrase or rewrite based on journal’s website guidance): The journal “would welcome papers from information literacy practitioners and researchers… Key topics of interest to the journal include the role of play in learning, work, our social and cultural lives, the benefits to individuals and society, and the interrelationship between play and other areas of adult life. The focus of this journal is on play in adulthood to explicitly distinguish it from children’s play, and to highlight that the motivations, contexts, and forms of play are, in many cases, different. In summary, it covers playful living, playful working, and playful learning.”
