Editorial: The Future is Bright: The Future is Educational and Developmental Psychology

Abstract

The 30th edition of this journal marks a significant milestone in 'The Australian Educational and Developmental Psychologist'. It is no mean feat, and many journals do not survive this long, or change their focus, or are much younger than the venerable AEDP. This longevity is due in no small measure to the professionalism and hard work of the various journal editors over the past 30 years. As we move forward with the partnership with Cambridge University Press, we are now listed with several key indices (e.g., SCOPUS and PsycINFO) and are currently undergoing assessment with Thomson Reuters for an impact factor. These are markers of quality and it is essential that the journal embarks on these strategies so as to ensure the future of the journal itself, as well as making it a more appealing submission prospect for high quality Australian and international authors.
