What is familyfacts.org:
The Heritage Foundation's familyfacts.org catalogs social science
findings on the family, society and religion gleaned from peer-reviewed
journals, books and government surveys. Serving policymakers, journalists,
scholars and the general public, familyfacts.org makes social science
research easily accessible to the non-specialist.
What are familyfacts.org findings:
Findings presented in familyfacts.org are summaries of research
results that present the relationship between two or more variables
concerning family and religious practice. Most findings are drawn
from peer-reviewed journal articles, though some have been published
in a book or working paper; all findings are drawn from research
dealing with samples of substantial size.
How to cite familyfacts.org:
Findings are paraphrased summaries of published research results
and are intended to serve as “pointers” to the primary source. When
presenting information from familyfacts.org, the primary source
should be referenced (e.g. “According to a recent study by [Researcher
name], adolescents who are sexually active are more likely to experience
depression.”) When findings are cited in academic writings, researchers
should access the source article outside familyfacts.org, and full
citation of that article and author should be provided in footnotes,
endnotes or resources.
