The newest issue, November 2005, of Journal of Marriage and Family highlights theoretical and methodological issues in studying families. Alan Acock has an article on 'working with missing values' and you will find articles on linking theory and methods, studying dyads using longitudinal methods, two-wave panel analysis, participatory research, comparing statistical programs, and much much more.

It was a really clear, intelligible review of these three statistical analysis packages. While slightly discouraging to habituated SPSS users, I found it really clarified the advantages and limitations of each program.
