 Surprising facts, insights, and new ideas found in this cite:

According to the (EECERJ), it claims to be “one of the most prestigious early childhood journals in the world. It is said to be “one of the only four early years journals indexed by the institute for scientific information: which is highly selective of the journals in the citation databases and indices it maintains”.

Tony Bertram of the UK is the centre for research in early childhood. The board’s Editorial board is made up of board members nationwide, including the US: Nancy Barbour of kent State University USA, and Amita Gupta of the City College of New York, USA.

Note- worthy information found on this site is a code of ethics that supports both children and educators of research. Reading material must be approved and meet all standards.

Journals for the EECERJ are “issued five times annually and is now in its 22^nd year of publication”.

Additionally, the EECERA’s annual conference is the “largest and most significant early years’ research conference in Europe, regularly attracting more than 600 researcher delegates from all over the world. The organization and/ or event encourage cross-national collaboration net- working”.

After gaining insight of the conference and its cross-national collaboration, it seems to point to the idea of getting involved with early childhood organizations nationwide.
