Infant Behavior and Development (IBAD) is issuing a call for special issue proposals. IBAD is an international and interdisciplinary journal, that publishes high-quality research in the areas of cognitive development, emotional development, perception, perception-action coupling, prenatal development, motor development, and socialization using a variety of methodologies (e.g., behavioral, physiological, computational). Please address the following in the proposal:
- outline the scope of the topic,
- the timeline for proposed submission,
- Guest Editors and their affiliations,
- the method of and number of submissions, i.e. where you will solicit papers; use of Registered Reports or Results Masked Review; will you invite some authors to contribute, and,
- the evaluation criteria that pertain to the goals of the special issue to be used for determining acceptance of papers. Please note all special issue papers go through full peer review.
Guest Editors are encouraged to write a short introductory editorial to the special issue. We encourage Guest Editors to invite a review article as part of the special issue, which is helpful for orienting readers on the topic. Guest Editors who wish to author or co-author an article in their own Special Issue should speak to the Editor-in-Chief. All special issue proposals will be evaluated by the Editor and Associate Editors. Deadline June 1, 2018
Please send proposals to Martha.Arterberry@colby.edu& and put “IBAD special issue” in the subject line.
