The Journal of Educational and Psychological Consultation ( JEPC) provides a forum for improving the scientific understanding of consultation and for describing practical strategies to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of consultation services. Consultation is broadly defined as a process that facilitates problem solving for individuals, groups, and organizations. JEPC publishes articles and special issues that describe formal research, evaluate practice, examine the program implementation process, systematically review relevant literature, investigate systems change, and carefully document the translation of theory into practice. Examples of topics of interest include individual, group, and organizational/systems consultation; educational and instructional coaching; collaboration in education, particularly teacher collaboration; community-school-family partnerships, and community psychology; consultation training; educational reform; professional learning; ethics and professional issues; health promotion; personnel preparation; prevention and early intervention; implementation science including program planning, implementation, evaluation, and systems-change; school to work transitions; services coordination; teaming; and the role of technology in consultation. Of interest are manuscripts that address consultation issues relevant to clients of all age groups, from infancy to adulthood, and consultants, consultees, and clients from a diversity of backgrounds and educational settings. Manuscripts that investigate and examine how culture, language, gender, race, ethnicity, religion, and exceptionality influence the process, content, and outcome of consultation are encouraged. Submissions from outside of the United States that highlight international perspectives related to educational and psychological consultation are also of interest. The journal is committed to publishing empirical and conceptual research focused on anti-racism and social justice with clear implications for consultation practice, training, and research. JEPC welcomes submissions of studies that approach consultation research from a variety of rigorous empirical approaches including quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods. In addition to publishing research and theoretical articles, JEPC publishes one special column, The Consultant’s Corner, which includes articles that present new and innovative ideas related to consultation research, practice, and policy.
