Contemporary Educational Psychology
Contemporary Educational Psychology publishes empirical research from around the globe that substantively advances, extends, or re-envisions the ongoing discourse in educational psychology research and practice. Publishable manuscripts must be grounded in a rich, inclusive theoretical and empirical framework that gives way to critical and timely questions facing educational psychology. Further, general and specific questions should be closely linked to the selected methodological approach and authors should include actionable implications for education research and practice. In all cases, accepted manuscripts will advance cutting edge theoretical and methodological perspectives that address critical and timely education questions.The journal welcomes rigorously conducted qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods contemporary empirical research within educational psychology. The journal also aims to publish research that employs participant samples representative of the intended population and engaged in authentic teaching or learning contexts, through either formal or informal settings. The journal highly encourages empirical research that exemplifies values of inclusion within education.In addition to novel, empirical studies rooted in primary data or data sources, submissions may include:Purposeful replication studies designed to extend our understanding of fundamental relationships or processes,Measuremen... or validation studies that include a second, related empirical study that aligns with the editorial goals outlined above,Meta-analyses that have clear implications for teaching and learning, andSelf-report studies involving novel respondents, methodologies, and/or situated in unique contexts.- ISSN: 0361-476X

Critical Perspectives on Accounting
Critical Perspectives on Accounting aims to provide a forum for the growing number of accounting researchers and practitioners who realize that conventional theory and practice is ill-suited to the challenges of the modern environment, and that accounting practices and corporate behavior are inextricably connected with many allocative, distributive, social, and ecological problems of our era. From such concerns, a new literature is emerging that seeks to reformulate corporate, social, and political activity, and the theoretical and practical means by which we apprehend and affect that activity.Research areas includeStudies involving the political economy of accounting, critical accounting, radical accounting, and accounting's implication in the exercise of power Financial accounting's role in the processes of international capital formation, including its impact on stock market stability and international banking activitiesManagement accounting's role in organizing the labor process The relationship between accounting and the state in various social formationsStudies of accounting's historical role, as a means of "remembering" the subject's social and conflictual characterThe role of accounting in establishing "real" democracy at work and other domains of lifeAccounting's adjudicative function in international exchanges, such as that of the Third World debtAntagonisms between the social and private character of accounting, such as conflicts of interest in the audit processThe identification of new constituencies for radical and critical accounting informationAccountin... involvement in gender and class conflicts in the workplaceThe interplay between accounting, social conflict, industrialization, bureaucracy, and technocracyReapprais... of the role of accounting as a science and technologyCritical reviews of "useful" scientific knowledge about organizationsStudies approaching accounting education from a critical perspective, including how students can be initiated to critical thinkingBenefits to authors We also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

If you require any further information or help, please visit our Support CenterAdditional policy from the journal on the use of artificial intelligence in research In an editorial published in 2024, the editors of the journal developed the following policy that applies to submissions that rely on the use of artificial intelligence. “As co-editors, we are particularly concerned about the threat posed by artificial intelligence (AI) to the authenticity of research. We conceive of authenticity in research as an implicit claim made by the researcher that is empirically and ethically grounded. Empirical authenticity relates to the researcher’s genuine commitment to understand the world reflexively. Ethical authenticity means being original and true to oneself despite prevailing performance pressures in the researcher’s environment. Given what we know about the juggernaut of AI, we do not want Critical Perspectives on Accounting to receive submissions in which AI played a significant role in any step of the research process, except for language translation and copyediting purposes. Also, we do not want reviewers and editors-in-charge to rely in any significant way on AI to produce reviews, make editorial decisions, and write editorial letters. This is a question of authenticity.” Reference: Gendron, Y., Andrew, J., Cooper, C., and Tregidga, H. 2024. On the juggernaut of artificial intelligence in organizations, research and society.

Analytic Methods in Accident Research
Analytic Methods in Accident Research publishes manuscripts that deal with the development and/or application of innovative statistical and econometric methods to the study of vehicle crashes and other transportation and non-transportation-r... accidents. The intent of the journal is to demonstrate how such innovative methodological approaches can be used to provide new insights and quantification of the factors that affect the frequency and severity of accidents - thus providing new guidance for the implementation of appropriate countermeasures. While the focus of the journal is on the underlying analytic approach, acceptable application areas include all elements of transportation safety (road, pedestrian, air, rail, and water safety), construction safety, and any area of study where the unintended consequences of human behavior, machine failures or system failures result in property damage and/or bodily injury.- ISSN: 2213-6657
