WRITING FOR US
Relational Child and Youth Care Practice is
committed to providing equitable and inclusive spaces that
promote and support the global profession of Child and Youth
Care through disseminating the knowledge and experience of
individuals involved in the day-to-day lives of young
people, families and communities. This commitment is founded
upon the belief that all human issues, are essentially
“relational”.
Relational Child & Youth Care
Practice welcomes submission of manuscripts on all
aspects relating to young people, families and communities.
This includes material that explores the intersectionality
of Child and Youth Care practice and the lived experiences
of all who are engaged in Child and Youth Care practice.
Considerations will also be given to interpersonal dynamics
of professional practice and all submissions that assume a
relational perspective. This might include topics such as
cultural values, ethics, social policy, program design,
supervision, education, training etc. Welcomed are also
submissions that address advocacy, social justice and
reconciliation practices within the diverse spaces and
places of Child and Youth Care. Each issue may include
refereed articles that comply with acceptable ‘academic’
standards; submissions contributed by regular and guest
columnists; short pieces that describe particular relational
experiences and reflections; poetry; artwork and
photographs.
Material should be submitted by email
to
rcycp@press.cyc-net.org in standard word processing
format (eg. .doc, .rtf). Formal articles should not exceed
6000 words in length (excluding references). Referencing should conform to either
APA or Harvard format. Author-date citations should be used
within the text and a double-spaced reference section should
accompany each article. In all submissions, authorship
details including an abstract of no more than 150 words
should be included, as well as a short list of keywords at
the beginning of the article, a headshot photo and a short
author bio of about 100 words to publish with your article.
Importantly, authors should also indicate whether a peer
review is required (in addition to the standard editorial
review).
Although no article or submission will be
rejected purely for stylistic reasons, the editors reserve
the right to return any manuscript for additional work.
Authors requiring editorial assistance in this regard should
indicate their request in a covering letter. Originality of
material is the responsibility of the primary author.
Previously published material must be identified as such and
will be published only where the necessary permission has
been granted from the original source.
Relational Child and Youth Care Practice may include
Peer Reviewed contributions, stories, case studies, thought
pieces, experiential descriptions and other forms of writing
which will not be peer reviewed. In this way we aim to
strike a balance between the values of Peer Reviewed
articles and experiential voices from the field. This is a
unique approach and one which we feel offers the best of
both. Peer Review is available on request. Article copyright
is jointly held by RCYCP and article author(s), allowing
both the right to reproduction.
