  • Call for papers: How technology use is changing adolescent behavior and their social, physical, and cognitive development

    The main goal of this special issue is to include papers on the impact of technology on adolescent development. We are mainly interested in contributions that consider different fields of research (e.g., psychology, sociology, health, data science, cognitive science) that describe the impact of technology on behavioral, social, physical, and cognitive changes during adolescence, and how technology may influence these changes in both positive or negative ways throughout adolescent development (psychological, sociological, physical and cognitive). 

    Guest Editors: Martina Benvenuti, Michelle Wright, John A. Naslund, and Anne Miers
    Submission Deadlines: Proposals due November 30, 2020. Decisions about inclusion will be made by December 21, 2020. Full papers will be due by March 15, 2021. 

  • COVID-19 and impact on peer review

    As a result of the significant disruption that is being caused by the COVID-19 pandemic we are very aware that many researchers will have difficulty in meeting the timelines associated with our peer review process during normal times.  Please do let us know if you need additional time. Our systems will continue to remind you of the original timelines but we intend to be highly flexible at this time.
