Manuscripts are reviewed by the Editor, members of the Board of Editors, and invited reviewers with expertise in the area(s) represented by the manuscript. Submissions must be appropriate and of moment to the readership of
Parenting: Science and Practice and should meet a high level of scientific acceptability. A first level of review determines the appropriateness, import, and scientific merit for the journal; on this basis, the
Editor reserves the right to review the manuscript further. The Editor also retains the right to decline manuscripts that do not meet established ethical standards. A system of blind reviewing is used; however, it is
the author's responsibility to remove information about the identity of author(s) and affiliation(s) from the body of the manuscript. Such information should appear on the cover sheet. The Editor will have the
discretion to integrate solicited reviews into a determinative response. Address:
