In recognition of the SRCD Anti-Racist Developmental Science Summit held on May 15-17, 2024, Wiley, in collaboration with the Summit co-organizers and journal editors has produced a free, open access virtual issue focused on anti-racist developmental science.

The Final Report of the Task Force on Publications and Ethical Behavior is now available, along with a memorandum from the Governing Council that summarizes its responses to the thoughtful recommendations presented in the Task Force report.

The Society for Research in Child Development (SRCD) publishes three journals, as well as the Social Policy Report. SRCD members receive full digital access to all three journals as a benefit of membership.

The editors of Social Policy Report are now accepting topic proposals and submissions on a rolling basis! 

Social Policy Report’s new editorial board has developed new guidelines for proposing report topics and submitting full manuscripts for peer review.

These guidelines reflect an increased emphasis on policy impact and on the interactions between and among, research, policy, and practice.

A case in point: Check out the most recent Social Policy Report, Creating Partnerships among Researchers, Practitioners, and Policymakers to Maximize Evidence Use.
