In the USA, in criminology and criminal justice, the women specialty journals, Feminist Criminology, Violence Against Women, and Women and Criminal Justice, have played a key role as outlets for research on women and crime. The current study examined the internationality—presently a significant criterion used to measure the quality of scholarly journals—of these women specialty journals. In order to measure their level of internationality, two indicators are studied: (1) geographic diversity of editorial boards and (2) the patterns (frequency, countries, international collaborations, and thematic directions) of the foreign-authored articles between 2010 and 2016. The authors also conducted a survey of the editors of the three women specialty journals to identify trends in international submissions as well as editors’ perceptions of the internationalization of their journals. The results of this study confirm that the three women specialty journals are becoming more international. Finally, recommendations to encourage international diversity of editorial boards and authorships, especially from East Asia, are discussed.

女性专业期刊的国际性：内容分析和编辑调查

在美国，在犯罪学和刑事司法方面，女性专业期刊、女权主义犯罪学、对妇女的暴力和妇女与刑事司法作为研究妇女和犯罪的渠道发挥了关键作用。目前的研究考察了这些女性专业期刊的国际性——目前是衡量学术期刊质量的重要标准。为了衡量它们的国际化水平，研究了两个指标：（1）编委会的地域多样性和（2）2010年至2016年间外国作者文章的模式（频率、国家、国际合作和主题方向） . 作者还对三个女性专业期刊的编辑进行了一项调查，以确定国际投稿的趋势以及编辑对其期刊国际化的看法。这项研究的结果证实，这三个女性专业期刊正变得越来越国际化。最后，讨论了鼓励编辑委员会和作者的国际多样性的建议，特别是来自东亚的。
