The Official Journal of the Society for the Study of School Psychology (SSSP)
The Journal of School Psychology publishes original empirical articles and critical reviews of the literature on research and practices relevant to psychological and behavioral processes in school settings. The Journal of School Psychology presents research on intervention mechanisms and approaches; schooling effects on the development of social, cognitive, mental health-, and achievement-related outcomes; assessment; and consultation. Submissions from a variety of disciplines are encouraged.
The Journal of School Psychology editorial team strives to publish the most methodologically and statistically sophisticated research in the pages of the journal in order to contribute to the science of school psychology. Full-length manuscripts presenting original quantitative and qualitative research are ideal to meet this goal. Scholarly narrative reviews of the literature on research and practices relevant to psychological and behavioral processes in school settings may also be appropriate. The Journal of School Psychology does not typically publish test reviews, book reviews, obituaries, or comments.
Questions about the appropriateness of a manuscript for the Journal of School Psychology should be directed to the Editor:

International Initiatives
SSSP is dedicated to advancing the science of school psychology in the United States and globally. For the past few years, SSSP has collaborated with the International School Psychology Association (ISPA) to encourage international research on topics of importance to school psychology. To achieve this goal, SSSP has funded research projects conducted in a country outside of the United States that have strong potential to make an important and original contribution to the field.

The Early Career Forum (ECF)
The ECF is an SSSP sponsored initiative designed to support young scholars in the early phase of their careers and to provide information to advanced graduate students interested in pursuing a career in academia. Specifically, the ECF is a web-based resource designed to provide accurate information to early career scholars concerning matters relating to their success as academicians and scientists, and to provide a mechanism for follow-up questions and answers. One goal of the ECF is to form an on-line community of early career scholars to provide support and a mechanism for the exchange of ideas, and the development and nurturing of collaborative relationships.
