Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis
(http://seab.envmed.rochester.edu/jaba/
Considered by many to be the preeminent behavioral journal in the field, JABA began publishing in 1968.  It focuses on publishing experimental research of behavior analytic interventions applied to problems and issues of social importance. Almost all its empirical papers involve the use of single-system research designs of high internal validity.  Although it has an emphasis on papers relevant to the fields of developmental disabilities and to education, it also publishes a wide array of work related to community intervention, mental health, safety, and welfare.

Behaviour Research and Therapy
Behaviour Research and Therapy encompasses all of what is commonly referred to as cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT). The major focus is on the following: experimental analyses of psychopathological processes linked to prevention and treatment; the development and evaluation of empirically-supported interventions; predictors, moderators and mechanisms of behaviour change; and dissemination of evidence-based treatments to general clinical practice. In addition to traditional clinical disorders, the scope of the journal also includes behavioural medicine.

Behavior and Social Issues
http://www.uic.edu/htbin/cgiwrap/bin/ojs/index.php/bsi
Behavior and Social Issues is a peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary journal that serves as  a primary scholarly outlet for articles that advance the scientific analysis of human social behavior, particularly with regard to understanding and influencing important social problems. The primary intellectual frameworks for the journal are the natural science of behavior, and the sub-discipline of cultural analytic science. The journal is particularly interested in publishing work related to issues with social justice, human rights, and environmental implications, but all significant social issues are of interest.  BSI is edited by social worker Mark Mattaini with the Jane Addams College of Social Work at the University of Illinois in Chicago.

Behavior Modification
http://www.sagepub.com/journalsProdDesc.nav?prodId=Journal200900&level1=K00&currTree=Subjects&
For more than 20 years, researchers, academics and practitioners have turned to Behavior Modificationfor innovative and insightful research, reports, and reviews on applied behavior modification. Each issue offers successful assessment and modification techniques applicable to problems in psychiatric, clinical, educational, and rehabilitative settings, as well as treatment manuals and program descriptions. These practical features help you follow the process of clinical research and to apply it to your own behavior modification interventions. (from the journal website)
