Re: [xmca] Fwd: Submitting for the 2009 SRCD Biennial Meeting

Me too! I'd be interested
But as Mike said, SRCD has not been very kind to this approach to
development. It is worth trying though, I think

>> *Editorial Transition at Child Development*
>>

>> Margaret Burchinal, John Colombo, Michael Cunningham, Mary Dozier,
>> Andrew
>> Fuligni, Mary Gauvain, Roberta Golinkoff, Nancy G. Guerra, D.
>> Geoffrey Hall,
>> Betsy Hoza, Melanie Killen, Louis J. Moses and Cynthia Stifter, and
>> I now
>> have the privilege of processing new submissions to the journal.
>> (Current *
>> CD* Editor Lynn Liben and her editorial team are continuing to handle
>> revisions of papers that were initially processed by them.)
>>
>> Are there any changes in store for *Child Development*? That is the
>> question
>> that I have received most often since being named Incoming Editor
>> of the
>> journal. *Child Development* will of course continue to publish the
>> best and
>> most forward-looking research in the developmental sciences. But
>> look for an
>> addition to our existing paper formats: *Empirical articles, Reviews,
>> Essays, Child Development and…, From another perspective. *The new
>> format is
>> entitled *Empirical reports*. This format will feature shorter
>> cutting-edge
>> empirical papers that are no longer than 4000 words in length
>> (including
>> text, tables, footnotes, appendices, but excluding abstract and
>> references),
>> which advance research and knowledge in an area through noteworthy
>> findings
>> and/or new methods. For manuscripts that require longer
>> descriptions of
>> methods and results, authors should use the Empirical Article
>> format, which
>> will continue to serve as the main vehicle of publication for
>> papers that
>> appear in *CD*. (Please note that manuscripts that have been
>> rejected at *CD
>> * in one of the empirical formats cannot be resubmitted to *CD* in
>> the other
>> empirical format.) Some other changes are in store for *CD* as
>> well. Look
>> for these changes when the first issue under our editorship appears
>> in
>> January, 2009.
>>
>> The Incoming Associate Editors and I have already begun discussing
>> a number
>> of special initiatives for the journal including ideas for Special
>> Sections
>> and Issues. Some special sections are already underway. Kevin
>> Pelphrey and
>> Rebecca Saxe will be co-editing a special section on Developmental
>> Social
>> Cognitive Neuroscience. Nathan Fox and Sir Michael Rutter will be
>> co-editing
>> a special section on the Effects of Early Experience on
>> Cognitive/Socioemotional Development. Calls for contributions to
>> these and
>> future special sections have been posted on the *CD* website and
>> will appear
>> in upcoming issues of *SRCD Monthly E-news*, which is sent

>> all SRCD members. Contributions to Special Sections and Issues are

>> our goal
>> is to include articles reflecting SRCD's commitment to cultural and

>> Articles in the journal will include reviews, commentary, policy- or
>> research-related essays, and groups of papers on a targeted issue.
>> Manuscripts presenting new empirical data are not appropriate for

>> * Monographs* publishes major reports of developmental research that

>> use
>> diverse methods including multivariate, longitudinal, demographic,
>> clinical,
>> ethnographic, and experimental analyses. Cross-national, cross-
>> cultural,
>> and studies of gender, ethnic, and racial diversity are of particular

>> research

>> processes. We are
>> now accepting three new paper formats: (a) Brief reports (no more

>> manuscript pages including all references, tables and figures). These
>> reports should be modeled after research reports in journals like
>> *Science*and should focus on the methods and results. Such reports
>> are
>> particularly
>> appropriate for basic descriptive studies that extend prior work to

>> populations. This format is also appropriate for cross sectional,

>> Comprehensive reports of longitudinal studies which can be up to
>> 80-90
>> manuscript pages. (c) Theoretical papers and comprehensive reviews

>> *June 30 - July 2, 2008
>> Columbia University School of Social Work
>>
>> The Columbia University Population Center is currently accepting
>> applications for the Fragile Families Summer Data Workshop. The
>> workshop is
>> designed to familiarize participants with the data available in the
>> Fragile
>> Families and Child Wellbeing Study, especially the 5 year follow-up
>> data
>> which will become publicly available in summer 2008. The national
>> study
>> follows a birth cohort of (mostly) unmarried parents and their
>> children,
>> providing information about the capabilities, circumstances, and
>> relationships of unwed parents, the wellbeing of their children,
>> and the
>> role of public policy in family formation and parent and child
>> wellbeing.
>>
>> The workshop is targeted toward young scholars from various social
>> science
>> disciplines, including advanced graduate students, postdoctoral
>> fellows, and
>> junior faculty. Applicants must possess basic quantitative data
>> analysis
>> skills. Ethnic minorities are particularly encouraged to apply.
>> About 25-30
>> applicants will be selected. Travel costs for out-of-town
>> participants will
>> be reimbursed up to $750.00. (Rooms will be available at $95 and
>> $190 per
>> night).

>> * Archives Jean Piaget
>> **18th Advanced Training Course
>> *Cognitive Development, Mechanisms and Constraints
>> July 3-5, 2008
>>
>> The *Archives Jean Piaget *organize July 3-5, 2008 their*18th
>> Advanced
>> Course*. The aim of this biannualconference is to group the best
>> specialists
>> of a domain around a topic that has a particular relevance for Jean
>> Piaget's
>> theory and developmental psychology. One of the most important
>> aspects of
>> Piaget's legacy in the domain of developmental psychology has
>> probably been
>> the theories known as the "neo-piagetian" theories. Among the new
>> proposals
>> and ideas these theories put forward, the idea that cognitive
>> development is
>> underpinned by some increase in cognitive resources, mental power or
>> attentional capacity is of particular relevance when considering the
>> importance of the concept of *cognitivere sources *and *working
>> memory
>> *capacity
>> in the contemporary psychology. Thus, the next Advanced Course is
>> entitled *Cognitive
>> development, mechanisms and constraints*. Its objective is to gather
>> prominent theorists in the field of cognitive development within a
>> neo-piagetian perspective with specialists of the development of
>> working
>> memory, attention and executive functions.
>>
>> The Advanced Course is open to any scholar, researcher or student
>> interested
>> in cognitive development, working memory and executive functions
>> who are
>> invited to submit *posters* related to these topics.
