Our last announcement is not related to our board of directors meeting; however we are happy to share the news of a new journal in behavior analysis that is specifically directed towards the needs of practitioners:

CALL FOR PAPERS

Behavior Analysis in Practice (BAP)
Behavior Analysis in Practice, a new journal published by the Association for Behavior Analysis, is now accepting papers for its inaugural issue, scheduled for spring 2008. BAP is a peer-reviewed translational publication designed to provide science-based, best-practices information relevant to service delivery in behavior analysis. The target audience includes front-line service workers and their supervisors, scientist-practitioners, and school personnel. Types of articles and topics published in BAP will include empirical reports describing the application and evaluation of behavior-analytic procedures and programs; discussion papers on professional and practice issues; technical articles on methods, data analysis, or instrumentation in the practice of behavior analysis; tutorials on terms, procedures, and theories relevant to best practices in behavior analysis; and critical reviews of books and products that are aimed at practitioners or consumers of behavior analysis. Authors should use language that is easily accessible to practitioners, clearly define all technical terms, and link research findings directly to practice. To ensure consideration for the Spring 2008 issue, please submit manuscripts to the editor by October 1, 2007
