Abstract
This article reports on a content analysis of the articles published in Non profit and Voluntary Sector Quarterly and in its predecessor, the journal of Voluntary Action Research, in their first twenty years of existence. The investigation identifies the substantive areas that have been covered, the institutional affiliations of the authors, the methodological styles of the articles, and the disciplines that have provided the research. Thirty-five percent of the authors have been women, about 1 7 percent of the authors have nonacademic affiliations, and sociology is the discipline represented most heavily, although thirty-five disciplines have provided articles. Social work, political science, public affairs, urban affairs, management, and economics have also been heavily represented.
