Journal of Pediatric Neuropsychology is a quarterly, peer-reviewed journal that publishes clinically relevant research using scholarly approaches to enhance our understanding of the practice of pediatric neuropsychology in multiple settings. The journal is targeted at clinicians, researchers, and trainees specializing in pediatric neuropsychology and child and adolescent psychology. Pediatric neuropsychology recognizes that the continuum of services for pediatric clients depends on seamless transitions from one setting to another, such as hospital to school or home. Therefore, this multidisciplinary journal focuses on the clinical needs of children and adolescents who have neurodevelopmental or neurocognitive disorders as they traverse multiple avenues of treatment in special education programs in the schools, hospitals, integrative health clinics, neurorehabilitation programs, and private practitioner offices.

Review & acceptance
Review time and acceptance
Review time from article dates manuscript dates registered with Crossref · to
Too few articlesOnly 1 articles from the last 24 months carry both submission and acceptance dates, too few for a median
Only articles that were accepted and published are counted, not the time spent on rejected manuscripts, so this usually runs longer than a publisher's "time to first decision".
