Abstract

The first 20 years of the SJRCC has offered a rich array of articles, perspectives and experiences from across the full spectrum of the child and youth care field internationally. A thematic analysis reveals the most common theme over the life of the journal to be 'staffing issues/practice', with 'international' second, and the three themes of 'education', 'transitions and leaving care' and 'historical reflections' in a virtual tie for the bronze medal. Accessibility and a welcoming of authors from diverse backgrounds while maintaining rigour in its selection of peer-reviewed research articles contributes to the SJRCC being indeed 'a journal like no other.'
