Resumen
Gives the Editor's view on how the Journal of Educational Psychology has changed over the last few years along with the field of educational psychology. She contends that the quality of educational psychology research improves as the research base grows and as our methods and understandings become more sophisticated and advanced; standards for the Journal evolve along with these improvements. Furthermore, the Editor states that her Associate Editors, editorial board members, and she will continue to strive with their authors to be sure that the work is indeed as good as it can be. First, they are attending to what they find is one of the most striking problems in many studies submitted to the Journal, the lack of adequate subject description. Second, the Editor and her team are also committed to ensuring that research reported in the Journal includes adequate evidence that the measures used are reliable and valid. They are also committed to communicating to the field their strong interest in publishing research of the highest quality across multiple methods, including qualitative, quantitative, and single-subject designs.
