Archives of Sexual Behavior is an academic sexology journal and the official publication of the International Academy of Sex Research. It is published by Springer. According to the Institute for Scientific Information, the Archives of Sexual Behavior has the highest impact factor of gender and sexuality specialty journals.[1] Contributions to the journal consist of empirical research (both quantitative and qualitative), theoretical reviews and essays, clinical case reports, letters to the editor, and book reviews.
Editors-in-chief
Richard Green was founding editor of Archives of Sexual Behavior in 1971 and served in that position until 2001. Kenneth J. Zucker has served as editor-in-chief since that time.
Controversy
In 2003, a member of the Archives' editorial board, J. Michael Bailey, became the subject of controversy, regarding his book, The Man Who Would Be Queen.[2] An analysis of the controversy by Alice Dreger, an intersex activist and historian, appears in the Archives,[3] along with commentaries on multiple aspects of the issue.[4] The Archives has been criticized for the way Dreger's analysis was published, and ethics charges were leveled against both Bailey and Dreger by Robin Mathy, focusing on the "professional connections between the board of the Archives of Sexual Behavior and Bailey."[5]
