The Journal of Research in Childhood Education, a publication of the Association for Childhood Education International, features articles that advance knowledge and theory of the education of children, infancy through early adolescence. Consideration is given to reports of empirical research, theoretical articles, ethnographic and case studies, participant observation studies, and studies deriving data collected from naturalistic settings. Cross-cultural studies and those addressing international concerns are welcome. Important to the purpose of this journal is interest in research designs that are integral to the research questions posed, as well as research designs endorsed by the scientific community. Further, the Journal seeks to stimulate the exchange of research ideas by publication of small-scale studies carried out in a variety of settings (homes, centers, classrooms, hospitals, and other community environments), and whose results are reported where appropriate with the inclusion of effect size information.Views expressed herein do not necessarily reflect the positions of the Association for Childhood Education International.ACEI mission and statement of commitment: ACEI is a global community of educators and advocates who unite knowledge, experience, and perspectives in order to exchange information, explore innovation and advocate for children.

The Journal of Research on Christian Education (JRCE) provides a vehicle for the scholarly interchange of research findings relative to every level of Christian education. Particular emphasis is given to Christian schooling within the Protestant tradition as well as to research findings from other traditions which have implications for such schools. The purposes of the JRCE are (1) to stimulate inquiry among scholars of Christian education on topics of common interest, (2) to serve as a clearinghouse for the organization and diffusion of emerging research on the Christian school, and (3) to communicate research findings that inform Christian educators as well as the wider society. The JRCE is published twice per year under the auspices of the School of Education of Andrews University, a Seventh-day Adventist institution. Views expressed in the JRCE are those of individual authors and do not necessarily represent the views of the editors or the sponsoring organization. Peer Review Policy: All articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening followed by anonymous double-blind peer review by at least two referees.Publication office: Taylor & Francis, Inc., 325 Chestnut Street, Suite 800, Philadelphia, PA 19106.
As the flagship publication for the Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, the Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness (JREE) publishes original articles from a multidisciplinary community of researchers who are committed to applying principles of scientific inquiry to the study of educational problems. Articles published in JREE should advance our knowledge of factors important for educational success and/or improve our ability to conduct further disciplined studies of pressing educational problems. JREE welcomes manuscripts that fit into one of the following categories: 1) interventions and evaluation studies, and 2) methodological studies. The first category includes studies that focus on process and implementation and seek to demonstrate causal claims in educational research. To establish a stronger connection between scientific evidence and educational practice, studies submitted to JREE should focus on pressing problems found in classrooms and schools. Studies that help advance our understanding and demonstrate effectiveness related to challenges in reading, mathematics education, and science education are especially welcome as are studies related to cognitive functions, social processes, organizational factors, and cultural features that mediate and/or moderate critical educational outcomes. On occasion, invited responses to JREE articles and rejoinders to those responses will be included in an issue. Peer Review Policy: All research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by at least two anonymous referees.

The aim of the Journal of School Choice (JSC) is to energize multi-disciplinary scientific analysis and policy discussion with key insights into the nature of every major version of school choice: 1.) public school choice through residence relocation; 2.) district public school choice without relocation; 3.) chartered, non-district public schools; 4.) targeted tuition vouchers; 5.) non-refundable, personal use tuition tax credits; 6.) non-refundable, low income voucher donation tax credit; 7.) refundable tuition tax credits; 8.) 8216;pure' universal tuition vouchers; 9.) option-demand universal tuition vouchers; 10.) formal separation of school and state; 11.) informal, compromised school-state separation; and 12.) de-regulation; allow greater differences in schools. JSC will provide those insights in one of six forms: 1.) News and Views (600 to 1500 words); 2.) Commentary (5000* words); 3.) Surveys (8000* words); 4.) Methodological (8000 words); 5.) Analysis (8000* words); 6.) Book Reviews (1200 words). * recommended limit, but flexible at the editor's discretion.Organizations start new Journals to help meet an under-served scholarly arena; to provide an outlet for academic research that deserves additional attention. Certainly, school choice is seeing growing attention as a key ingredient of reform strategies, and also as an arena in which to compare political accountability to market accountability. Annotated List of School Choice Research Issues Editor Vision StatementJohn Merrifield, Editor, Professor of EconomicsJanuary, 2009I envision the Journal of School Choice as the clearinghouse of scholarly discussion and analysis of the school choice aspects of public policies. The Journal of School Choice will be interdisciplinary and international. Along with empirical analysis of school choice aspects of public policies, the Journal of School Choice will publish peer-reviewed scholarly objective commentary, advocacy, and policy critique. For this journal, that is especially important to my 'Moving Forward' motto. For many of the twelve types of school choice policies, including many that seem likely to have the largest impacts, there is no direct evidence to analyze. Where direct evidence is scarce, scholarly commentary utilizing accepted theory, core principles, and indirect evidence, is the only way to develop insights and increase understanding of likely policy outcomes. The peer reviewed objective commentary, advocacy, and critique pieces I envision are not opinion pieces per se. I view them as heavily referenced exercises in transparent deduction. Of course, scholars will differ in where theory, core principles, alleged evidence, and values lead. The Journal of School Choice will improve understanding of those differences. Scholars have opinions, and learning the basis of them is very insightful.Part of my vision is an active, diverse editorial board. They are part of the review process. So far, authors have received comments from two reviewers, me, plus from 3-7 members of the editorial board within three months of their submission.Publication office: Taylor & Francis, Inc., 325 Chestnut Street, Suite 800, Philadelphia, PA 19106.
