​

Papers are submitted via the online review platform, Scholastica. Authors will be asked to create an account for this purpose.

Submission Guidelines - Research Article

​

Submission Guidelines - Research Article

Research articles undergo a double-blind peer review process with a minimum of two reviews from experts in the field. 

Submission Guidelines - Field Report

Field Reports tell a down-to-earth, real-life ​story​ ​about a specific program, initiative, or policy that links children and youth to a particular environment in a reflective, compelling, and informative way. 

Journal Metrics

 

CYE seeks to strengthen connections between research and practice. Field reports, in particular, which reflect on lessons learned in the field and the challenging realities of practice, are of great interest to our readership. We value this contribution and remain dedicated to publishing a variety of papers. For this reason, a traditional scientometric impact factor, which is based on a count of all items published in an issue, fails to reflect the impact and influence of CYE research specifically. We are continuously considering new and innovative ways to accurately measure the impact of our research articles. We currently use Google Scholar to measure the citation impact.

 

Google Scholar Metrics

h-index 68

i10-index 259

​

What do these metrics mean? 

 

h-index is a scholarly metric relating the number of publications and the number of citations (Elsevier).

i10-index is the number of articles published that have received at least 10 citations.

​

​

CYE supports open-access publishing through a one-time fee of $250 per article (for the life of the article). 

 

During publication acceptance, you will have the opportunity to select open-access for your manuscript. Authors also can retroactively request open access for an article already published in CYE by emailing cyenetwork@gmail.com
