Aims & Scope
TYPES OF ARTICLES THAT EXCEPTIONAL CHILDREN PUBLISHES
The Journal primarily publishes five types of articles:
- Research Studies including qualitative, large-group quantitative, or single-subject design studies. Appropriate effect sizes must be reported for quantitative studies.
- Research Reviews including the analysis and integration of research in one or more areas. Reviews must be comprehensive and critical. Whenever possible, effect sizes for individual studies should be reported.
- Methodological Reviews including systematic examinations of the methodological strengths and weaknesses of a specific body of literature (e.g., a methodological review of the soundness of research on teaching phonological awareness). This can include a methodological analysis of qualitative, quantitative, and single-subject design studies.
- Data-Based Position Papers including papers addressing an important (practical or theoretical) issue(s) in special or gifted education. This involves analyzing and integrating the existing research literature to provide a balanced and scholarly examination of the issue.
- Policy Analyses including critical analyses and research related to public policy issues that impact the education of exceptional infants, toddlers, children, youth, and adults.
