Research Around the World

European Early Childhood Education Research Journal (EECERJ) holds the most prestigious early childhood journals in the world. It is one of only four early years journals indexed by the Institute of Scientific Information. As I looked thru the website I noticed how this journal holds specific criteria to decide which journal topics to write about, how the conferences are developed and placed, as well as who and what organizations they will link and do partnership with. The current links/partners are with the Korea Institute of Child Care and Education and the Pacific Early Childhood Education Research Association.

As I looked through the several journal topics I learned how much this organization focused on young children. One article that caught my interest was the their most recent issue (Volume 19 Issue3) on children and their participation in research. Because this semester is focusing research and children I felt the need to read this article to see their point of view. The article stated that children are more than capable of participating in research and it valued the type of information that can be received from children.
