A Practical and Intellectual Agenda For a statement of the ideas that inspired the creation of Contemporary Buddhism download the inaugural editorial by Michael McGhee: The time has long since gone when the study of Buddhism in the West was the preserve of a few scholars, or its influence confined to a handful of European intellectuals. The time is long since too when Buddhist practice in the West was a polite genuflection, 'meditation'merely the occasional ancillary to a self defining intellectual conviction. Popular perception has altered too, and we are familiar now with Buddhist chic, with the movie stars photographed with smiling Lamas. But the current reality has become very interesting... more Peer Review Policy All research articles considered for publication are subject to anonymized peer reviewed by two referees.

Contemporary Educational Psychology publishes articles that involve the application of psychological theory and science to the educational process. Of particular relevance are descriptions of empirical research and the presentation of theory designed to either explicate or enhance the educational process. The journal places great value on the quality of research methodology. This includes the participant sample being representative of the intended population (and not just a sample of convenience), measures having demonstrated psychometric quality including both reliability and validity (avoiding, for example, excessive reliance on self-report measures), literature reviews that support the methods employed, and analyses that are both appropriate and accurately described. The journal publishes quantitative, qualitative, and single-subject design studies that involve the application of psychological science to an important educational process, issue, or problem.The journal does not limit its scope to any age range. Articles dealing with the education of preschoolers, K-12 children, adults, and the elderly are all relevant if they apply psychological theory and science to the process of education. Likewise, articles that make a substantial contribution to the understanding of individual differences in the process of learning are also appropriate. The journal does not focus on a particular educational setting. Articles applying psychological theory and research methods in school settings, industry, or other formal or informal settings involving adults or children are relevant, assuming they are judged in the review process to advance the science of education.Contemporary Educational Psychology features:•Original research articles covering both classroom and laboratory experiments as they emphasize problem solving•Theoretical contributions relating issues, comparisons, and analyses to the application of psychological methods and skills to the educational process•Instructional techniques reporting on instructional techniques when the use of adequate controls demonstrates the validity of the findings• Meta-analytic research reviews on selected educational topics reflecting implications for the field of educational psychology.
