Journal Guide

Childhood Education is the award-winning signature academic journal of the Association for Childhood Education International. Each issue includes articles on innovative classroom practices; child growth and development theory; timely and vital issues affecting education, children, and families; international programs; and research reviews. Also included are reviews of new children’s books, videos, software, and professional resources. Publications in the journal seek to stimulate thinking, rather than advocate fixed practice, by exploring emerging ideas and conflicts supported with research.

The aims of the publication in the journal are to promote children’s education and development, and influence educators’ professional growth. Our readers work with, or on behalf of, young children from birth through age 13. They include child care providers, teachers, administrators, university-level teacher educators, education students, policymakers, advocates. Our readers are interested in education practices and policies from around the world.

Articles that are accepted generally devote about one-third of the text to practical strategies for implementing the recommendations offered.

In addition, successful articles:

• Reflect the most current knowledge in the related field, citing recent research findings
• Recognize the importance of family and community involvement in education and child care
• Show respect for and support inclusion of all children, regardless of nationality, ethnicity, gender, religion, age, or ability.

Because the readers of Childhood Education have diverse backgrounds and interests, article style may vary somewhat. Although considered an academic journal, Childhood Education articles must offer practical applications and appeal to a wide breadth of readers. Authors are encouraged to avoid overuse of citations, using them only when appropriate.

Children's Geographies has been a remarkable success, and has become THE 'go to' journal for locating the most up-to-date work in the field of academic inquiry into the spaces, places and environments of childhood at different scales and in different worldly contexts. Each issue is packed with contributions that are conceptually challenging, methodologically innovative, substantively rich, and relevant to a variety of policy and practical arenas.' Chris Philo, University of Glasgow, UK Children's Geographies is a peer-reviewed journal that provides an international forum to discuss issues that impact upon the geographical worlds of children and young people under the age of 25 and of their families. The journal aims to be accessible to new researchers, including postgraduate students and academics at an early stage of their research careers, and to practitioners with an interest in children, youth and families. Study of the geographies of this kind, whilst emphasising the importance of place, space and spatiality, inevitably cuts across inter- and intra-disciplinary boundaries. The journal provides a forum for academics and practitioners with an interest in these multi-faceted geographies, enabling new insights into the diverse and multiple realities of young people's lives. The journal allows a more sustained focus on the disparities of what it is like to be a young person within different societal contexts, but also enables geographers to link more effectively with colleagues in other disciplines who share similar interests (for example, Sociology, Anthropology, Cultural Studies, Economic Development, Education, Psychology, Legal Studies, Social Policy, Political Science, Urban Design and Architecture). Coherence of this sort further ensures that the findings of geographical research are taken seriously in ongoing public policy debates on children, youth and families.
