Journal Of Applied School Psychology

Aims and Scope. The Journal of Applied School Psychology, as the Official Journal of the American Academy of School Psychology, is interested in published scholarly material that contributes to the development and maintenance of school psychology practice at its highest level. Consequently, each submission should rest on solid theoretical or empirical support and convey information of use in applied school settings, related-educational systems, or community locations where school psychologists might work. Thus, manuscripts appropriate for publication in the journal reflect psychological applications concerning individual students, groups of students, teachers, parents, or administrators with relevance to practicing school psychologists. Practice implications should be stated explicitly within each manuscript. The journal also seeks, over time, novel and creative ways to disseminate information about sound and empirically-supported school psychology practice. Consequently, readers are encouraged to follow developments in submission guidelines for future manuscript submission options. At present, three alternatives for traditional manuscript submissions (i.e., Case Studies, Service Delivery, and Science to Practice) are available. For details about these three options, interested parties are referred to "Announcement from the incoming editor-in-chief: Addressing school psychology's need for rigorous scholarship with applied value" (Volume 25, Issue 1, pp. 1-4). Furthermore, authors intending to submit an alternative manuscript are encouraged to contact the editor to discuss feasibilty of publication before initiating submission. 

Peer Review Policy: All papers published in this journal have undergone editorial screening and anonymous double-blind review.
