The Children, Youth and Environments network disseminates knowledge and stimulates discussion to support inclusive, sustainable and healthy environments for children and youth everywhere. 

The CYE network connects a global community and provides an online forum for active discussion, resource sharing, and the publication of a peer-reviewed online journal.

 

CYE seeks to strengthen connections between research and practice. Field reports, in particular, which reflect on lessons learned in the field and the challenging realities of practice, are of great interest to our readership. We value this contribution and remain dedicated to publishing a variety of papers. For this reason, a traditional scientometric impact factor, which is based on a count of all items published in an issue, fails to reflect the impact and influence of CYE research specifically. We are continuously considering new and innovative ways to accurately measure the impact of our research articles. We currently use Google Scholar to measure the citation impact.

​

The journal publishes papers in the form of research articles, field reports, and book/media reviews ranging from:

 

• Quantitative and qualitative empirical research

• Theoretical, methodological, and historical investigations

• Critical literature reviews

• Design analyses

• Post-occupancy evaluations

• Policy studies

• Program assessments

​

Google Scholar Metrics

h-index 65

i10-index 252

​

What do these metrics mean? 

 

h-index is a scholarly metric relating the number of publications and the number of citations (Elsevier).

 

i10-index is the number of articles published that have received at least 10 citations.

​

Open Access 

 

CYE supports open-access publishing through a one-time fee of $250 per article (for the life of the article). 

 

During publication acceptance, you will have the opportunity to select open-access for your manuscript. Authors also can retroactively request open access for an article already published in CYE by emailing cyenetwork@gmail.com 

 

Why choose open access for your manuscript? 

• Makes your work easy to find and easy to use 

• Freely share your work with anyone, anywhere: including policymakers, practitioners and professionals 

• Comply with funder and University requirements
