Journal of Research in Character Education

Hello colleagues,

I have recently agreed to serve as a guest editor for the Journal of Research in Character Education for a special edition addressing service-learning as a promising practice for character development. The Journal primarily publishes results of research, though there may be some room for other types of articles that represent deep theoretical discussions or thought-provoking policy analysis. They do not accept anecdotal research or descriptive pieces, and all of the articles must specifically address character education. Please take a look at the Journal if you have questions about the types of articles they accept.

The edition that I will edit will come out during 2009, most likely in the summer. All articles that are submitted will go through a rigorous peer review process and somewhere between 4 and 6 articles will be accepted for publication, assuming there are enough to pass the review. All articles from people who wish to be considered for this special edition are due to me by September 30. Instructions for article submission can be found here: www.character.org/journalofresearchincharactereducation.

If you are interested in submitting an article, please contact me by e-mail so I know how many I can expect to receive.
