Special Issue on Teleconsultation in Educational and Psychological Settings
This special issue invites manuscripts that address how educational and psychological consultants are working to integrate teleconsultation (i.e., consultation conducted through videoconferencing platforms) in their practice to improve outcomes for students, teachers, and/or practitioners who provide services in multidisciplinary settings. In keeping with the Journal of Educational and Psychological Consultation’s mission, we invite scholarly articles that link theory, research, and science to the practical task of improving outcomes as a means for enhancing outcomes for all students. We are interested in articles that highlight the application of teleconsultation in educational and clinical settings by (a) directly supplementing its research base, (b) considering its contemporary role in schools and clinical settings, and (c) calling for future research and practice in this area. These practices may include effectiveness and/or acceptability of teleconsultation in multidisciplinary settings, training and practice considerations for teleconsultation in multidisciplinary settings, and literature reviews and/or meta-analyses of multidisciplinary teleconsultation research.
This special issue will be guest-edited by Drs. Aaron J. Fischer (University of Utah), Brandon K. Schultz (East Carolina University), and William P. Erchul (Arizona State University). Authors interested in submitting manuscripts first should prepare a 500 word abstract/summary of the full paper and email it to the lead guest editor, Dr. Fischer (aaron.fischer@utah.edu), by September 1, 2016. After the guest editors review all abstracts, they will decide which full-length manuscripts will be developed and considered for inclusion in the special issue. All manuscripts will undergo a blinded peer review process. Please contact Dr. Fischer with any questions regarding submissions, or if you are interested in serving as a manuscript reviewer. The expected goal for publication of the special issue in approximately the Spring of 2018.
