Abstract: | In my editorial statement in the last issue I indicated that "School Psychology Quarterly should be comprehensive in its coverage of our field and]...it is my perception that the Quarterly needs to improve significantly in this regard" (Gutkin, 1998, p. 4). Extending the breadth of research and theory that appears in our journal is, in fact, one of my most central goals as your new Editor. While extraordinary and superb scholarly work has often been published in the Quarterly, and I have every desire to continue supporting these historically prevalent and crucial lines of scientific inquiry, it is my clear sense that focusing only on "more of the same" will not be sufficient to meet the future needs of either our readership or their clients. A broader array of perspectives and research questions are needed. Thus, I am issuing a "Call for Papers and Proposals for Special Issues" to begin the process of expanding the scope of scholarly work published in the Quarterly. My express purpose is to stimulate an ever-growing range of high quality research and theoretical work being submitted to the Quarterly. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
