Infant and Child Development: A Journal for Open, Transparent, and Inclusive Science from Prenatal through Emerging Adulthood

This Editorial outlines the vision for the journal Infant and Child Development. Building on its historic strengths, the journal will feature the following four advances: 1) A strong stance on open science, including Registered Reports, Exploratory Reports, and Verification Reports; 2) An expanded focus on all aspects of psychological development from prenatal through emerging adulthood; 3) Inclusivity with respect to samples, researchers, and methods; and 4) An attempt to be as author-friendly as possible, minimizing as many barriers associated with submission and review as possible.
