Academic publisher SAGE has announced the launch of Emerging Adulthood (EA), as the new peer-reviewed flagship journal for the American Society for the Study of Emerging Adulthood (SSEA). The journal will publish studies that advance theory, methodology, and empirical research on the development of 18 to 29 year olds.
Emerging Adulthood will be the first to bring together the scholarship of a growing network of international scholars publishing on the topic of emerging adulthood. The journal will have a multidisciplinary focus covering clinical, developmental and social psychology and other social sciences such as anthropology, psychiatry, public policy, social work, sociology, public health, and post-secondary education. Emerging Adulthood will be available in both print and online forms.
Emerging Adulthood encourages the submission of original research papers that will contribute to the contemporary discussion on the defining elements of the 18-29 age period. Both theoretical and empirical work will be published and papers that take a creative, integrative, and cultural approach are especially encouraged. Strong qualitative or quantitative methodology is required for acceptance.
