Special Issue on Early Childhood Studies Call for Paper

This special issue is catered for MA students, PhD candidates and early carrier researchers to further develop outstanding dissertations or early stage research work into quality journal articles. Additional editorial support will be provided to the potential authors for their work selected by editorial team. Peer review scheme of this journal applies as usual to this special issue.

The submission procedure however can be slightly different. Potential authors (especially MA students intending to further develop their outstanding dissertations into journal articles) are invited to submit an abstract to express an interest. Following a first stage screening by the Editor for the special issue, selected works will be invited to further develop into full research articles. Once an article is submitted the author will get an above-the-average level of editorial support involving the editor, the reviewers and the editorial team, leading to final publication (provisionally in early 2026).

For PhD candidates and early stage researchers, they can skip the abstract round and directly submit the full articles.
