JOURNAL OF DEVELOPMENTAL AND PHYSICAL DISABILITIES

《发育和身体残疾杂志》是一个跨学科的论坛，出版来自不同领域的原始研究和临床报告，为发育和身体残疾人士提供服务。来自心理学、康复、特殊教育、运动机能学、咨询、社会工作、精神病学、护理和康复医学领域的研究人员、临床医生和相关专业人士的意见将被考虑。利用组比较和单例实验设计的调查是主要的兴趣。此外，欢迎具有特定临床相关性或描述创新评估和干预技术的案例研究。所有的研究和临床报告都应该包含足够的程序细节，以便读者能够清楚地了解做了什么，如何做，以及为什么选择策略。无论结果如何，我们都欢迎使用小组和单例设计进行严格的复制研究。此外，还考虑出版系统审查、荟萃分析和理论讨论，这些对理解发育障碍和身体残疾人士的问题和优势作出重大贡献。鼓励作者在相关的公共数据库中预先注册实证研究、复制、系统评论和荟萃分析，并将这些信息与他们提交给期刊的材料一并纳入其中。如果可能的话，作者也被鼓励将支持其研究结果的数据存储在公共存储库中(参见《期刊作者指南》中详细的“研究数据策略”模块)。为了满足对发育障碍和身体残疾患者的临床和研究工作的需要，该杂志采用了交叉分类和无偏见的方法。

The Journal of Developmental and Physical Disabilities is an interdisciplinary forum for the publication of original research and clinical reports from a variety of fields serving persons with developmental and physical disabilities. Submissions from researchers, clinicians, and related professionals in the fields of psychology, rehabilitation, special education, kinesiology, counseling, social work, psychiatry, nursing, and rehabilitation medicine are considered. Investigations utilizing group comparisons as well as single-case experimental designs are of primary interest. In addition, case studies that are of particular clinical relevance or that describe innovative evaluation and intervention techniques are welcome. All research and clinical reports should contain sufficient procedural detail so that readers can clearly understand what was done, how it was done, and why the strategy was selected. Rigorously conducted replication studies utilizing group and single-case designs are welcome irrespective of results obtained. In addition, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and theoretical discussions that contribute substantially to understanding the problems and strengths of persons with developmental and physical disabilities are considered for publication. Authors are encouraged to preregister empirical studies, replications, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses in a relevant public database and to include such information with their submission to the journal. Authors are also encouraged, where possible and applicable, to deposit data that support the findings of their research in a public repository (see detailed “Research Data Policy” module in the journal’s Instructions for Authors). In response to the need for increased clinical and research endeavors with persons with developmental and physical disabilities, the journal is cross-categorical and unbiased methodologically.
