If you have come here in search of the submission requirements at Child Development, this is perhaps not the editorial you are looking for. Consider visiting instead our revised instructions to authors. Nor does this essay simply detail the priorities of the incoming board and the initiatives we will be implementing over the next 6 years, though these are summarized in Table 1. Rather, this editorial was written to articulate clearly the scientific values underlying current plans and policies at the journal in support of publishing the highest quality and highest impact research on child development. I emphasize two interrelated themes: (a) our plans for continuing to emphasize and enhance diversity and inclusion in research on child development and (b) our policies that remove impediments to cumulative developmental science. Discussion focuses primarily on how we are incentivizing efforts to achieve these widely held yet too often neglected goals, taking as its point of departure emerging challenges to a fair and efficient editorial process at the journal. In so doing, I mean to highlight the essential work of continuously cultivating editorial structures that firmly embed in developmental science fundamental scientific values, principles that make it possible for research on child development to flourish in both the best and worst of times.

社论：在最好和最坏的时代，建立公正，高效，多样和包容的累积儿童发展科学的愿景

如果您来这里是为了寻找“儿童发展”的提交要求，这可能不是您要查找的社论。考虑改用我们对作者的修改说明。本文也没有简单地详细介绍新任董事会的优先事项以及我们在未来6年内将要实施的计划，尽管这些都在表1中进行了总结。相反，本社论的目的是清楚地阐明当前计划和政策所依据的科学价值。在该杂志上发表文章，以支持发表对儿童发展的最高质量和最高影响的研究。我强调两个相互关联的主题：（a）我们计划继续强调和增进对儿童发展的研究的多样性和包容性；（b）我们消除对累积发展科学的障碍的政策。讨论主要集中在我们如何激励人们努力实现这些广为人知但又经常被忽视的目标，并以此作为出发点，以对期刊公平，有效的编辑过程提出的新挑战为出发点。通过这样做，我的意思是强调不断培养牢固地扎根于发展科学的社论结构的重要工作基本的科学价值观，即使儿童发展研究能够在最艰难的时期和最糟糕的时期蓬勃发展的原则。
