Article types

The Co-Editors and Associate Editors of the Journal of Early Intervention (JEI) seek to publish articles related to research and practice in early intervention for infants and young children ages birth - 8 with developmental disabilities, delays, or at risk for developmental delays and their families; and individuals who provide services for children with disabilities and families. Early intervention is defined broadly as practices and procedures that facilitate the development of infants and young children who have (or at risk for) developmental delays or disabilities and support their access to learning opportunities in natural environments (e.g., home, school, communities).
Our goal is to publish reports of original research, systematic literature reviews (including meta-analyses), conceptual analyses of issues the field faces, and innovations in research methods to advance the field of Early Intervention/Early Childhood Special Education (EI/ECSE). Research should be interpreted broadly to include any replicable method (e.g., single case experimental studies, group experimental studies, causal comparative studies, correlational studies, descriptive studies, qualitative studies, and mixed methods designs). As a general guideline, the majority of the child participants in research reported in the journal should be age 8 or younger and a majority of child participants should have (or at risk for) developmental delays or disabilities.
As a Division for Early Childhood (DEC) journal, JEI is committed to DEC’s priorities to advance the field of EI/ECSE, including DEC’s Racial Equity Point of View. To that end, we seek to publish rigorous research that aligns with the following goals:
  • Supports responsive and effective practice with young children and their families
  • Promotes strengths-based approaches to recognize and support the dignity and worth of all children, families, and practitioners
  • Helps the field move away from deficit-based frameworks and theories
  • Advances equity for groups who have been marginalized in EI/ECSE systems
Although JEI is research-oriented, journal readers are a diverse group that includes both researchers and practitioners (e.g.,early interventionists, early childhood special educators, or related service providers working with young children and their families). In the interest of all journal readers, JEI seeks to publish articles that have clear implications for practice and practitioners.
 Authors are encouraged to submit the following types of manuscripts to JEI:
  1. Research Reports
    Research reports are descriptions of original investigations related to any aspect of EI/ECSE. Diverse methodologies, including experimental studies using group or single case designs, descriptive studies using observational or survey methodologies, qualitative investigations and mixed methods designs, are welcome. While the journal has not officially endorsed CONSORT standards of reporting experimental trials (see www.consort-statement.org), the journal is moving in this direction and authors are strongly encouraged to review and adhere to many of the guidelines.
  2. Research Method Reports
    Research method reports are descriptions of advances in research methods in research related to EI/ECSE or novel applications of advanced methods from related fields with a description of how they can be used to advance research related to EI/ECSE. 
  3. Systematic Reviews (which may include a meta-synthesis)
    Systematic reviews consist of systematic quantitative and/or qualitative syntheses of research. Manuscripts submitted in this category may contain a statistical synthesis across study results (i.e., a meta-analysis), and should be submitted as a systematic review and not a research report. While the journal has not officially endorsed PRISMA standards of reporting systematic reviews and meta-analyses (see www.prisma-statement.org), the journal is moving in this direction and authors are strongly encouraged to review and adhere to many of the guidelines.
Theoretical, Conceptual, or Position Papers or Policy Analyses
Theoretical or conceptual papers are authoritative examinations of the theoretical or conceptual perspectives underlying significant and topical issues. Position papers are manuscripts intended to advance the field’s understanding of an emerging or controversial issue, generate discussion related to a topical issue in the field, or both. Policy papers are critical analyses of policy or legal issues that impact young children with or at risk for disabilities, their families, and/or EI/ECSE practitioners. All of these types of papers should reflect comprehensive, in-depth examinations of EI/ECSE literature and be relevant to an EI/ECSE research-oriented audience. If authors have questions about whether their manuscript is appropriate for JEI under this category.

Formatting your manuscript

Accepted file types

The preferred format for your manuscript is Word. You do not need to follow a template, but please ensure your heading levels are clear, and the sections clearly defined.

Your article title, keywords, and abstract all contribute to its position in search engine results, directly affecting the number of people who see your work. For details of what you can do to influence this, visit How to help readers find your article online.

Title

Your manuscript’s title should be concise, descriptive, unambiguous, accurate, and reflect the precise contents of the manuscript. A descriptive title that includes the topic of the manuscript makes an article more findable in the major indexing services.

Abstract

Please include an unstructured abstract of 150 words between the title and main body of your manuscript that concisely states the purpose of the research, major findings, and conclusions.

Keywords

Please include a minimum of 4-5 keywords, listed after the abstract. Keywords should be as specific as possible to the research topic.

Artwork, figures, and other graphics

For guidance on the preparation of illustrations, pictures, and graphs in electronic format, please read Sage’s artwork guidelines.

Figures supplied in color will appear in color online regardless of whether or not these illustrations are reproduced in color in the printed version. If you have requested color reproduction in the print version, we will advise you of the costs on receipt of your accepted article.

Please ensure that you have obtained any necessary permission from copyright holders for reproducing any illustrations, tables, figures, or lengthy quotations previously published elsewhere. For further information including guidance on fair dealing for criticism and review, please see the Frequently Asked Questions page on the Sage Journal Author Gateway.

Statements and declarations

To ensure proper anonymization, please include a section with the heading ‘Statements and Declarations’ on your title page, after the Acknowledgements section [and Author Contributions section if applicable] including each of the sub-headings listed below. If a declaration is not applicable to your submission, you must still include the heading and state ‘Not applicable’ underneath. Please note that you may be asked to justify why a declaration was not applicable to your submission by the Editorial Office. This information will be added to the end of your published paper.

Ethical considerations

Please include your ethics approval statements under this heading, even if you have already included ethics approval information in your methods section. If ethical approval was not required, you need to explicitly state this. You can find information on what to say in your ethical statements as well as example statements on our Publication ethics and research integrity policies page.

All papers reporting studies involving human participants, human data or human tissue must state that the relevant Ethics Committee or Institutional Review Board approved the study, or waived the requirement for approval, providing the full name and institution of the review committee in addition to the approval number. If applicable, please also include this information in the Methods section of your manuscript.

Please include any participant consent information under this heading and state whether informed consent to participate was written or verbal. If the requirement for informed consent to participate has been waived by the relevant Ethics Committee or Institutional Review Board (i.e. where it has been deemed that consent would be impossible or impracticable to obtain), please state this. If this is not applicable to your manuscript, please state ‘Not applicable’ in this section. More information and example statements can be found on our Publication ethics and research integrity policies page.

Submissions containing any data from an individual person (including individual details, images or videos) must include a statement confirming that informed consent for publication was provided by the participant(s) or a legally authorized representative. Non-essential identifying details should be omitted. Please do not submit the participant’s actual written informed consent with your article, as this in itself breaches the patient’s confidentiality. The Journal requests that you confirm to us, in writing, that you have obtained written informed consent to publish but the written consent itself should be held by the authors/investigators themselves, for example in a patient’s hospital record. The confirmatory letter may be uploaded with your submission as a separate file in addition to the statement confirming that consent to publish was obtained within the manuscript text. If this is not applicable to your manuscript, please state ‘Not applicable’ in this section.

Declaration of conflicting interest

The journal requires a declaration of conflicting interests from all authors so that a statement can be included in your article. For guidance on conflict of interest statements, see our policy on conflicting interest declarations and the ICMJE recommendations.

If no conflict exists, your statement should read: ‘The author(s) declared no potential conflicts of interest with respect to the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article’.

Funding statement

All articles need to include a funding statement, under a separate heading, even if you did not receive funding. You’ll find guidance and examples on our Funding page.

Data availability

The Journal is committed to facilitating openness, transparency and reproducibility of research, and has the following research data sharing policy. For more information, including FAQs please visit the Sage Research Data policy pages.

Subject to appropriate ethical and legal considerations, authors are encouraged to:

  • Share your research data in a relevant public data repository
  • Include a data availability statement linking to your data. If it is not possible to share your data, use the statement to confirm why it cannot be shared.
  • Cite this data in your research

Reference style and citations

The journal follows the APA reference style. View the APA guidelines to ensure your manuscript conforms.

The Co-Editors and Associate Editors of the Journal of Early Intervention employ an anonymized peer review process to promote anonymous and constructive reviews of any manuscripts submitted. The editorial team requires that all manuscripts submitted for review follow the formatting rules and conventions of the American Psychological Association found in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (7th ed.; all page and chapter numbers in parentheses below refer to that publication):

  1. Manuscript Preparation (pages 381-384)
  2. Paper Elements and Format (Chapter 2)
  3. Writing Style and Grammar (Chapter 4)
  4. Presentation of data (for Table and Figure checklists see Chapter 7)

Every in-text citation must have a corresponding citation in the reference list and vice versa. Corresponding citations must have identical spelling and year.

Authors should update any references to preprints when a peer reviewed version is made available, to cite the published research. Citations to preprints are otherwise discouraged.

Acknowledgments

If you are including an Acknowledgements section, this will be published at the end of your article. The Acknowledgments section should include all contributors who do not meet the criteria for authorship. Per ICMJE recommendations, it is best practice to obtain consent from non-author contributors who you are acknowledging in your manuscript.

Writing assistance and third party submissions: if you have received any writing or editing assistance from a third-party, for example a specialist communications company, this must be clearly stated in the Acknowledgements section and in the covering letter. Please see the Sage Author Gateway for what information to include in your Acknowledgements section. If your submission is being made on your behalf by someone who is not listed as an author, for example the third-party who provided writing/editing assistance, you must state this in the Acknowledgements and also in your covering letter. Please note that the journal editor reserves the right to not consider submissions made by a third party rather than by the author/s themselves.

Writing Guidelines 

  1. Uses language that reflects strengths- and asset-based perspectives towards children, families, and communities. For instance:
    1. Explicitly name the groups/individuals being referred to and/or their social positioning when calling attention to marginalization rather than centering a single group as the standard that others are compared to. Whenever possible, refer to the specific characteristics of the population you’re referring to (e.g., “racially minoritized populations,” “Black and Latino children,” or “children of color,” instead of “minorities” or “diverse children”).
    2. Use asset-based language that acknowledges the resources and strengths children and families possess (e.g., “dual language learners” or “multilingual learners” instead of “English learners”).
    3. Avoid the generalized use of “at risk” or “significant/severe disabilities” as defining characteristics; instead, specify the skills a group of children may be struggling with and the measurement that is used to make that designation. “At risk” should particularly be avoided as a distinguishing label when it is based on children’s and/or families’ identities (e.g., race/ethnicity), background (e.g., families experiencing poverty), or deficit-based generalizations (e.g., children’s status as a dual language learner).
  2. Manuscript narrative should be written in the active voice (e.g., “The teachers assessed participants daily...”). Avoid the passive voice (e.g., “Participants were assessed by the teachers daily…”).
  3. Carefully avoid anthropomorphisms. An experiment cannot find or demonstrate results; the experimenter does that.
  4. Avoid shifting tenses abruptly, particularly within paragraphs and related subsections.
    1. Use the past tense when referring to what has been done or written (i.e., past events and statements) and to report the results of a study.
    2. Use the present perfect tense to indicate a past action or condition beginning in the past for a period of time or that continues to the present (i.e., when the timing of the action, condition, or event is indefinite).
    3. The present perfect tense is appropriate when discussing a line of research that has relevance today (e.g., “Social interaction researchers have shown...”).
    4. Use the present tense in the Discussion section to discuss the basic findings and implications of your research and to articulate your conclusions and opinions (this convention invites the reader to think along with you).
  5. Remember that you should not be interpreting your findings in the Results section. Also do not introduce new data or findings in the Discussion section.
  6. Whenever possible and if not referring to a specific individual, use plural constructions for participants or people you discuss throughout the paper (e.g., “teachers...” vs. “the teacher...,” “children” vs. “the child”); this helps avoid gender-specific language. Avoid the generalized singular (e.g., “the teacher,” “the individual with learning disabilities”).
  7. Give credit to other authors when you use their ideas or their information and provide appropriate citations for important points that are made in the manuscript (see Chapter 8, Works Credited in the Text, pages 253-278). All quotations require a citation and the specific page number of the material quoted.

Other information required for submission

  • ORCID ID of the submitting author.
    • It is strongly encouraged that all co-authors ensure their ORCID IDs are linked to their accounts in the submission system prior to article acceptance, as this is the only way to have their ORCID ID present on the published article. ORCID IDs cannot be added to manuscripts after acceptance/publication. Please note that each co-author must log in to the submission system to add their own ORCID ID to their account. To add an ORCID ID, edit your account, click the link when prompted, and sign into your ORCID account to validate your ID. You will then be redirected back to the submission system and your ORCID ID will become part of your accepted publication’s metadata.
    • Please create an ORCID ID if you do not already have one or visit our ORCID homepage to learn more.
  • Complete list of authors, with their institutional affiliations.
    • The author information you enter at submission must exactly match what is included on your manuscript and/or title page, including full names, academic affiliations, and corresponding author contact details.
    • The listed affiliation should be the institution where the research was conducted. If an author has moved to a new institution since completing the research, the new affiliation can be included in a note at the end of the manuscript.
    • All listed authors must meet the criteria for authorship (above).
    • All persons eligible for authorship must be included at the time of submission.
    • All authors must have given consent for the manuscript to be submitted in its current form.
  • Keywords: During submission, you may be asked to select or enter keywords for your manuscript. These keywords are used to match appropriate reviewers to your manuscript.
  • The number of figures, tables, and words in your manuscript.
  • Funder information: Name, grant/award number.
  • You may be required to enter your declaration of conflicting interest as part of the submission process, in addition to listing it on your manuscript and/or title page. Please have it on hand.
  • If you have posted your manuscript to a preprint server, you will be asked to supply the DOI (this does not prohibit submission, but no changes should be made to the preprint version while your manuscript is under evaluation in this journal). Please see our guidelines on prior publication. If the article is accepted for publication, the author may re-use their work according to the journal's author archiving policy. If your manuscript is accepted, you must include a link in your preprint to the final version of your published article.

The following summary describes the peer review process for this journal:
Identity transparency: Double-anonymized
Reviewer interacts with: Editor
Review information published: None
 
Your manuscript will undergo an initial evaluation. If it does not conform to the requirements laid out in these guidelines, it will be returned to you for amendments prior to peer review. Manuscripts may be desk rejected without peer review at this point if they are out of scope for the journal or otherwise unsuitable.
 
After passing the initial evaluation, your manuscript will then be peer reviewed. You can log in at any time to check the status of your manuscript. We will notify you when a decision has been reached.
 
The Journal adheres to a rigorous double-anonymized reviewing policy in which the identity of both the reviewer and author are always concealed from both parties. Three independent reviews are required for a manuscript to reach a Revise or Accept decision.
 
Manuscripts will be acknowledged upon receipt. Each manuscript will be reviewed by the managing editor and Co-Editors who examine the manuscript for content and format. Manuscripts not meeting the guidelines for content or format may be returned to the author at this point. Following this process, a Co-Editor and an Associate Editor will be assigned as action editors for review process oversight. The Associate Editor will assign the manuscript to three or four qualified reviewers; additional reviews may be solicited if need. The review process will be “double-anonymize,” in that the reviewers will not know who the authors are and vice versa. Our goal is to inform the authors of the editorial decision about their manuscript within 2 months. After an initial review decision, revisions of the manuscript may be requested and additional reviews of the manuscript may be obtained before acceptance.
 
To ensure the integrity of the peer review process we assign reviewers and cannot accept author recommendations.
 
All manuscripts are reviewed as rapidly as possible, while maintaining rigor. Reviewers make comments to the author and recommendations to the Co-Editors and Associate Editors who then make the final decision on all manuscripts, including those appearing in a special issue or special collection. The Co-Editors or members of the Editorial Board may occasionally submit their own manuscripts for possible publication in the Journal. In these cases, the peer review process will be managed by alternative members of the Board and the submitting Co-Editor/Board member will have no involvement in the decision-making process.
 
The journal has an Editorial Review Board who serve the journal as external peer reviewers. Each member of the Editorial Review Board and Editorial Board are active researchers in the field and selected based on strict criteria, ensuring they possess the necessary expertise and experience. The Editors may use Editorial Review Board member or Editorial Board Member as a reviewer for each manuscript, and will also reach beyond this pool to include additional guest reviewers to meet the required number before a decision can be made. This ensures a comprehensive and robust peer review process, aligning with our commitment to publish the most credible and valid research. Care is taken not to invite any Editorial Review Board Member or Editorial Board Member that has any potential conflict of interest with any author of the paper.
 
We have created JEI’s own reviewer guideline. You can view the JEI Reviewer Guideline here. 
 
As a COPE member we engage with multiple forms of post-publication discussion in line with wider guidance from Sage: Commentaries, Critiques and Responses.
