Adoption Quarterly

期刊简介：Adoption Quarterly is an unparalleled forum for examining the issues related to adoption as viewed from a lifespan perspective, and of the psychological and social meanings of the word "family." This international, multidisciplinary journal features qualitative, quantitative and mixed-methods empirical work, as well as scoping reviews, systematic research syntheses and meta-analyses. Adoption Quarterly addresses continuity in adoption issues that are important to practitioners and researchers, such as: negotiation of birth and adoptive family contact; identity formation in the context of adoption; adoption as a premier paradigm for studying the interactions of nature, nurture, and the lifelong development of the adoptee; adoptee adjustment (now viewed in a life-span perspective); and adjustment issues for birth/first and adoptive parents. Despite the importance of adoption in family formation and its considerable value as a paradigm for scientific study, there is no other U.S.-based scholarly journal specializing in this field. By maintaining a consistently high standard of scholarship, Adoption Quarterly helps stimulate relevant research and develop more practice-based and empirically sound principles. Peer Review Policy: All articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and double anonymized review.

【译文】《收养季刊》是一个无与伦比的论坛，从生命周期的角度审视与收养相关的问题，以及“家庭”一词的心理和社会含义。这本国际性的多学科期刊以定性、定量和混合方法的实证研究为特色，还包括范围界定评论、系统研究综合和荟萃分析。 《收养季刊》讨论了对从业者和研究人员来说很重要的收养问题的连续性，例如：出生和收养家庭联系的谈判；收养背景下的身份形成；收养作为研究被收养者的先天、后天和终身发展的相互作用的首要范例；被收养者调整（现在从生命周期的角度来看）；以及出生/第一父母和养父母的调整问题。尽管收养在家庭形成中很重要，并且作为科学研究范例具有相当大的价值，但美国没有其他学术期刊专门研究这一领域。通过保持一贯的高学术标准，《采用季刊》有助于促进相关研究并制定更多基于实践和经验合理的原则。同行评审政策：本期刊的所有文章都经过了严格的同行评审，基于最初的编辑筛选和双重匿名评审。出版办公室：Taylor & Francis, Inc., 530 Walnut Street, Suite 850, Philadelphia, PA 19106。
