Infancy is the official journal of the International Society on Infant
Studies. The journal emphasizes the highest quality original research on
normal and aberrant infant development during the first 2 years. Research
from children older than 2 years of age may be included if the results add
to an understanding of infant development. Most of the research will involve
human infants, although some infant animal work may also be included.

The criteria for acceptance will be rigorous science with logical arguments
and conclusions. Any theoretical approach is welcome; the reporting and
discussion of statistical effect size when appropriate, as recommended in
the APA publication manual, is required.

The emphasis of the journal is on original research articles and brief
reports (3,000 words), but target articles with peer commentary will also be
included, as well as thematic collections with peer commentary.

A unique aspect of the journal is that authors will have the opportunity to
submit additional archival material such as color photographs, sound files,
QuickTime movies, and large data sets to the companion web page, Infancy
Archives (www.infancyarchives.com), which will accompany each issue of the
journal.

Research Articles: Original research articles that present recent research
findings (typically multiple experiments) related to infancy or infant
development.

Brief Reports: Short research articles (up to 3,000 words of text) that
present recent research findings related to infancy or infant development.
Subject headings need not be included.

Target Articles With Peer Commentary: A theoretical or research-based
article that presents recent research findings and/or theoretical ideas
related to infancy or infant development. Peer commentary will follow target
articles; authors are invited to submit suggestions for peer commentators.

Thematic Collections With Peer Commentary: Three or four research-based
articles from independent laboratories that contribute new findings on a
common topic related to infancy or infant development. Thematic collections
will include peer commentary as well. Authors are invited to submit
suggestions for commentators along with the submitted collection of
articles.
