Learning and Individual Differences

期刊简介：Learning and Individual Differences is a research journal devoted to publishing articles of individual differences as they relate to learning within an educational context. The Journal focuses on original empirical studies of high theoretical and methodological rigor that make a substantial scientific contribution and advance our knowledge on individual differences as they relate to cognitive and/or non-cognitive features across diverse learning contexts. The Journal receives submissions from different fields such as psychology, educational sciences, and the learning sciences and welcomes interdisciplinary research. Learning and Individual Differences publishes original research. There are three types of original articles: Full length articles, brief reports, and multistudy reports. Full length articles should be no longer than 8000 words of primary text (not including abstract, educational relevance and implications statement, tables, figures, references, and other materials). Brief reports should be no longer than 4000 words of primary text (not including abstract, educational relevance and implications statement, tables, figures, references, and other materials). Multistudy reports should be no longer than 12000 words of primary text (not including abstract, educational relevance and implications statement, tables, figures, references, and other materials). The core criteria for whether a manuscript is published are its scientific rigor and the new knowledge that it adds to the existing body of knowledge. To this end, we are particularly looking for manuscripts that report on longitudinal data analyses, include data on diverse (in the best case representative) or underrepresented populations, and combine several sources of information such as self-report and objective performance data. Inclusion of power calculations where appropriate is considered an advantage. Manuscripts that don't meet these criteria such as studies that are cross-sectional (in particular when they report mediation analyses), stem from highly specific samples, and include only self-reports need to make a strong case on why they advance our knowledge to a sufficient level for inclusion in the Journal and have a higher likelihood of not being considered for publication in Learning and Individual Differences. Benefits to authors We also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

【译文】《学习和个体差异》是一本研究期刊，致力于发表与教育背景下的学习相关的个体差异文章。该杂志专注于具有高度理论和方法论严谨性的原创实证研究，这些研究做出了重大的科学贡献，并增进了我们对个体差异的了解，因为它们与不同学习环境中的认知和/或非认知特征有关。该杂志接收来自心理学、教育科学和学习科学等不同领域的投稿，并欢迎跨学科研究。学习和个体差异发表原创研究。原创文章分为三种类型：全文、简短报告和多项研究报告。全文的主要文本长度不应超过 8000 字（不包括摘要、教育相关性和影响陈述、表格、图表、参考文献和其他材料）。简短报告的主要文本不应超过 4000 字（不包括摘要、教育相关性和影响陈述、表格、图表、参考文献和其他材料）。多项研究报告的主要文本长度不应超过 12000 字（不包括摘要、教育相关性和影响陈述、表格、图表、参考文献和其他材料）。一篇稿件是否发表的核心标准是它的科学严谨性以及它为现有知识体系增添的新知识。为此，我们特别寻找报告纵向数据分析的手稿，包括有关多样化（在最好的情况下具有代表性）或代表性不足的人群的数据，并结合多种信息来源，例如自我报告和客观绩效数据。在适当的情况下包含功率计算被认为是一个优点。不符合这些标准的手稿，例如横断面研究（特别是当它们报告中介分析时）、来自高度具体的样本、并且仅包含自我报告的手稿，需要提供强有力的理由来说明为什么它们将我们的知识提升到足够的水平以纳入期刊，并且更有可能不被考虑在《学习和个体差异》中发表。作者的福利 我们还为作者提供许多福利，例如免费 PDF、宽松的版权政策、爱思唯尔出版物的特别折扣等等。
