As part of JSTOR’s continuing efforts to help the scholarly community take advantage of advances in technology, we have been pleased to develop several exciting new features that enhance the researcher’s experience while searching and browsing scholarly content within the archive. SRCD News: top The SRA Newsletter is now under a new schedule. Spring/Summer Issue: June Help us keep members informed! SRA members are invited to submit announcements, updates, and short articles on events and research to the SRA Newsletter Editor, Paul Jose at paul.jose@vuw.ac.nz. You must now submit your manuscripts electronically to JRA. The JRA online submission site is the new electronic system for receiving manuscripts and for communicating about manuscripts with the author. This new feature will facilitate faster and more efficient communications about the status of your manuscript. Look for this new site at http://www.s-r-a.org/jrasubmit/. You will like it! We invite submissions to the Journal of Research on Adolescence (JRA). The JRA presents empirical and theoretical papers focused on development during adolescence and early adulthood. Studies are featured that use diverse methods including multivariate, longitudinal, demographic, clinical, ethnographic, and experimental analyses. Cross-national, cross-cultural, and studies of gender, ethnic, and racial diversity are of particular interest. We are committed to expanding the presence of qualitative and multi-method research reports, practice-based, policy-oriented research evaluations and reports, and studies related to biological processes. We are now accepting three new paper formats: (a) Brief reports (no more than 12-15 manuscript pages including all references, tables and figures). These reports should be modeled after research reports in journals like Science and should focus on the methods and results. Such reports are particularly appropriate for basic descriptive studies that extend prior work to new populations. This format is also appropriate for cross sectional, correlational studies that test well defined theoretical models. (b) Comprehensive reports of longitudinal studies which can be up to 80-90 manuscript pages. (c) Theoretical papers and comprehensive reviews of the literature similar to papers published in Psychological Review and Psychological Bulletin.Questions concerning the submission process should be directed to the Managing Editor at jradol@umich.edu. Editors: Jacquelynne S. Eccles, Linda Burton, Bonnie Barber, Christy Buchanan, Sumru Erkut, Margaret Kerr, Stephen Russell top We are writing to solicit you as a member of the Society for Research on Adolescence to serve as a reviewer for the Journal of Research on Adolescence. The current Editorial team, with Jacquelynne Eccles as editor and Linda Burton, Bonnie Barber, Constance Flanagan and Margaret Kerr as co-editors is looking to expand the list of potential reviewers for JRA. We would especially like to encourage new faculty members to take an active part in the review. |

A list of this year’s programs is included here. Complete information about these exciting programs can be viewed at: http://www.apa.org/science/ati.html You are invited to apply for these training opportunities. Keep in mind that application deadlines begin in March. Applications are available at http://www.apa.org/science/ati.html and must be submitted electronically through each program's webpage. Tuition for all ATIs is substantially lower than marketplace prices because of a subsidy from APA's Science Directorate or, in the case of "Using Large-Scale Databases," a grant from the National Institute of Child Health & Human Development. For more information, contact APA's Science Directorate at ati@apa.org or (202) 336-6000. ASA: Children & Youth Section #31 The Children and Youth section of the American Sociological Association encourages the development and dissemination of sociological perspectives on children. The term "children" broadly includes every human being from infancy to the legal majority.
