About the journal
Research In Developmental Disabilities is aimed at publishing original research of an interdisciplinary nature that has a direct bearing on the remediation of problems associated with developmental disabilities. Manuscripts will be solicited throughout the world. Articles will be primarily empirical studies, although an occasional position paper or review will be accepted. The aim of the journal will be to publish articles on all aspects of research with the developmentally disabled, with any methodologically sound approach being acceptable. A list of topics areas that is illustrative but not inclusive is applied behavior analysis, pharmacotherapy, traditional assessment, behavioral assessment, speech training and occupational therapy. Our aim is to publish the best available and most current research possible.
Instructions to Authors

The system automatically converts source files to a single Adobe Acrobat PDF version of the article, which is used in the peer-review process. Please note that even though manuscript source files are converted to PDF at submission for the review process, these source files are needed for further processing after acceptance. All correspondence, including notification of the Editor's decision and requests for revision, takes place by e-mail and via the Author's EES homepage, removing the need for a hard-copy paper trail.
SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS: Allow ample margins and type DOUBLE SPACED throughout. One of the paper's authors should enclose a letter to the Editor, requesting review and possible publication; this letter must also state that the manuscript has not been previously published and has not been submitted elsewhere. Papers accepted forResearch in Developmental Disabilities may not be published elsewhere in any language without written permission. Should a paper be accepted for publication, the author will be asked to complete a Transfer of Copyright form.
TITLE PAGE:The title page should list (1) the article title; (2) the authors' names and affiliations at the time the work was conducted; (3) a concise running title; (4) an unnumbered footnote giving address for reprint requests and any acknowledgments; and (5) the corresponding author's telephone and fax numbers and E-mail address if available.
ABSTRACT: An abstract should be submitted that does not exceed 200 words in length. The abstract should be brief, concise, and complete in itself without reference to the body of the paper. Include purpose, methodology, results, and conclusions where applicable.
STYLE AND REFERENCES: Manuscripts should be prepared using the American Psychological Association Publication Manual, 5th ed., 1994.
The word retarded should be used as an adjective rather than a noun; retardate should be avoided. Terms that are scientifically precise should be adhered to. Therefore, mentally retarded will be preferred to retarded because if specifies the type of retardation, and intellectually average or normal intelligence will be preferred over normal. A similar format should be followed if other disabilities are involved. Abbreviations should be held to a minimum and should appear only after the full length term has been spelled out once in the text. It is understood that all investigations have been approved by the human subjects review committee of the author's institution.
The reference section must be DOUBLE SPACED and all works cited must be listed. Avoid abbreviations of journal titles and incomplete information.
TABLES AND FIGURES: All tables and figures should be grouped together at the end of the manuscript and numbered separately using Arabic numerals. Clearly visible notes within the text should indicate their approximate placement. The appropriate format for figures is described at the Author Gateway page mentioned above. Please see the EES web page (http://ees.elsevier.com/ridd) for full detailed instructions.
PROOFS AND REPRINTS: One (1) set of page proofs of the article will be sent to the corresponding author. These should be carefully proofread. Except for typographical errors, corrections should be minimal, and rewriting of text is not permitted. Page proofs should be returned to the Journals Production Department of Elsevier Inc. within 48 hours of receipt.
The corresponding author will receive (along with page proofs for reading), a form for ordering reprints and full copies of the issue in which their article appears. Twenty-five (25) free reprints are provided. Orders for additional reprints must be received before printing in order to qualify for lower prepublication rates.
