According to Gerald G. Somers, the first chairman of the editorial board, the reason for the establishment of the JHR was the desire for two contemporary developments - the increased intervention of federal institutions in the areas of education, training and welfare on the one hand and the growing research interest in investing in human capital on the other - to analyze scientifically and to create a publication platform for this in the form of the JHR. Since its inception, the JHR has been published with a frequency of four issues per year (excluding special issues).
