Individual, unsolicited manuscripts are not considered. Research in Human Development receives all manuscript submissions electronically via its Editorial Manager site located at http://www.editorialmanager.com/rhd. Editorial Manager allows for rapid submission of original and revised manuscripts, and facilitates the review process and internal communication between authors, editors, and reviewers via a web-based platform. Editorial Manager technical support can be accessed at http://www.editorialmanager.com/robohelp/10.1/index.htm. If you have any other requests, please contact Michael Cunningham, Editor, at mcunnin1@tulane.edu.

- The theme for the issue and its significance for the field;
- How the collected papers meet the interdisciplinary, multi method, and life-span goals of the journal;
- Biographical information of the editors, especially highlighting prior editorial experience;

For example: a very brief introduction of a few pages, plus 5 empirical papers; or, a brief introduction, plus 1 theoretical/conceptual/literature-based manuscript and 4 empirical papers; or, a very brief introduction, plus 4 empirical pieces and a discussion essay.
These proposals will be reviewed by the editor in consultation with the Publications Committee.
