Early Child Development and Care

期刊简介：Early Child Development and Care is a multidisciplinary publication that serves psychologists, educators, psychiatrists, paediatricians, social workers and other professionals who deal with research, planning, education and care of infants and young children. The Journal provides English translations of work in this field that has been published in other languages, and original English papers on all aspects of early child development and care: descriptive and evaluative articles on social, educational and preventive medical programs for young children, experimental and observational studies, critical reviews and summary articles. For this journal, early child development means development of infants and young children from birth to 8 years old. Early Child Development and Care does not normally publish articles which are focussed on curriculum issues or papers that deal with matters of pedagogy in the early childhood field. This journal does not normally publish papers which relate specifically to the construction, validation or evaluation of psychometric devices, measuring instruments and scales. Exceptions may be made if such information is essential in the context of a substantive research paper, or technical review, on a topic covered by the broad reach of our aforementioned aims and scope. Peer Review Policy: All research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least two anonymous referees.
