Research Around the World!!

For this blog assignment I reviewed the EECERA website at http://www.eercera.org/ which is the European Early Childhood Research Association.

The EECER is an independent, self governing, international association which promotes and disseminates multi-disciplinary research on early childhood and its applications to policy and practice. This site provides a tremendous amount of information through articles, books, and newsletter, and journal. The EECERJ journal is issued 4 times a year and it is translated in English, French, and German. The journals is an promotion and dissemination of research in the Early Childhood Education throughout Europe and beyond. I tried to review some article, but you had to be a member or pay for articles, so I was unable to read any, but they were some that I thought would be very interesting to read, such as the one on teenage pregnancy because that is a big issue where I live.

The web site also provides eUpdates which provides updated information on journals, books, conferences, and other news within a variety of areas. Also, there is an Author's Newsletter, which is very beneficial to researchers who wishes to publish work because it provides articles and other features to guide them and to establish contact with other authors.
The EECERA has a progam called the Supporting Guidance for Authors, this program helps guide authors' to publish their work, helps with writing editorials/review articles, guidance for EECEERJ referees, and guidance on research and publishing ethics.

This website is very informative and provides so much assistance and articles. This web site is very encouraging as they want to help people become published authors and to gain more insight into the field of early childhood. They also encourage communication between others to deliberate and build on ideas and interest, collaboration is a very important factor.
