As we continue into our second year as Editors of Gifted Child Quarterly (GCQ), we are very excited to be able to share the changes we have been working to implement for the journal in the types of manuscripts accepted, in keywords for manuscripts and reviewers, and in GCQ’s commitment to open science practices. As Editors, we spent much of our first year making improvements to our procedures, email templates, and timelines, and now with these behind-the-scenes changes mostly completed we are ready to take some big steps that will position GCQ as an education leader in moving our research practices forward. During our planning process, we have consulted with our editorial team, with editors of other special education journals, with experts from other disciplines, with members of two working groups that we formed, and with the SAGE publishing team. We are conscious of the value of our journal’s page space, and as always, we will continue to reserve as much of it as possible for publishing high-quality research; however, to most effectively share these exciting new changes, we have decided to describe briefly both the changes themselves and our rationale for making them here, in the journal’s pages, where these will be most visible to our readership.

天才儿童季刊对透明度、开放性和研究改进的承诺

随着我们继续担任天才儿童季刊 (GCQ) 编辑的第二年，我们很高兴能够分享我们一直在努力为该期刊实施的更改，包括接受的手稿类型、手稿和审稿人的关键词，以及 GCQ 对开放科学实践的承诺。作为编辑，我们第一年的大部分时间都在改进我们的程序、电子邮件模板和时间表，现在随着这些幕后更改基本完成，我们准备采取一些重大步骤，将 GCQ 定位为教育领导者推动我们的研究实践向前发展。在我们的规划过程中，我们咨询了我们的编辑团队、其他特殊教育期刊的编辑、其他学科的专家、我们成立的两个工作组的成员以及 SAGE 出版团队。我们意识到我们期刊页面空间的价值，并且一如既往，我们将继续保留尽可能多的空间用于发表高质量的研究；然而，为了最有效地分享这些令人兴奋的新变化，我们决定在期刊页面中简要描述这些变化本身和我们做出这些变化的理由，这些变化对我们的读者来说是最明显的。
