About the Journal

Journal of Childhood, Education & Society (JCES) is an international double-blind peer-reviewed journal that accepts research and critical review articles in English and is published three times per year as open-access.

 JCES intends to provide a medium for the exchange of interdisciplinary perspectives focusing on early childhood, early childhood education, child development, family studies with a focus on early childhood, and early childhood special education studies in collaboration with researchers, practitioners and policy makers.

In this way, this journal publishes both qualitative and quantitative research and critical review articles on early childhood from developmental, pedagogical, and sociological areas. Also, the research and review articles that link theory and practice, and produce informative resources for early childhood educators, practitioners, and policymakers are our current priority and are particularly welcome.

JCES emphasizes the importance of studying early childhood from an interdisciplinary perspective. Therefore, we are likely to accept papers on qualified interdisciplinary studies, including but not limited to the following areas of interest:

  1. child development across ages in different contexts,
  2. early childhood education, early childhood policymaking, early childhood curricula development,
  3. early childhood special education,
  4. best early childhood education classroom practices and professional development for early childhood educators and practitioners,
  5. early childhood family studies,
  6. early childhood intervention programs, and
  7. sociology of early childhood studies.  
JCES is an open-access, non-profit, and independent academic journal. JCES is published by an early childhood researchers' initiative in Türkiye which is led by Dr. Mehmet Toran and collaborated with worldwide early childhood researchers who are on the editorial board of the journal. On behalf of the initiative, Dr.Mehmet Toran assumes all official responsibilities for the journal.
 
Publication Frequency: JCES is published three issues annually from 2021 (February, July, and November).
