Scope & Guideline
Exploring the intersection of development and neurology.
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Neurodevelopmental Disorders:
The journal addresses a wide range of neurodevelopmental disorders, including cerebral palsy, autism spectrum disorders, and other conditions affecting motor and cognitive development. - Clinical Interventions and Assessments:
DMCN publishes research on various clinical interventions, assessments, and therapies aimed at improving the health and quality of life of children with disabilities. - Epidemiology and Public Health:
The journal explores epidemiological studies that provide insights into the prevalence, risk factors, and health disparities associated with neurodevelopmental disorders. - Family and Societal Impact:
Research related to the psychosocial impact of disabilities on families, including caregiver perspectives, social determinants of health, and community participation, is a significant focus. - Innovative Research Methodologies:
DMCN encourages the use of innovative methodologies such as telehealth, artificial intelligence, and machine learning in the assessment and management of developmental disorders.
Trending and Emerging
- Telehealth and Remote Interventions:
The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the adoption of telehealth solutions, with increasing research on effective remote interventions for children with disabilities. - Family-Centered Care Approaches:
There is a rising emphasis on family-centered care, highlighting the importance of involving families in treatment planning and decision-making processes. - Intersectionality in Disability Research:
Emerging studies are increasingly recognizing the intersectionality of disability with factors such as race, socioeconomic status, and geographic location, influencing health outcomes and access to care. - Personalized and Precision Medicine:
Research focusing on personalized treatment approaches based on genetic, environmental, and individual patient factors is gaining traction, particularly in the context of developmental and epileptic encephalopathies. - Longitudinal Studies and Lifespan Perspectives:
There is a growing trend towards longitudinal studies that track outcomes over time, emphasizing the lifelong impact of childhood disabilities and the need for continuous support.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Pharmacological Interventions:
There has been a noticeable decrease in studies focused solely on pharmacological treatments for developmental disorders, as emphasis shifts towards behavioral and integrative interventions. - Generalized Neurodevelopmental Screening Tools:
Research on broad, non-specific neurodevelopmental screening tools appears to be declining, with a move towards more tailored and condition-specific assessments. - Single-Cause Investigations:
The journal has shifted away from studies that focus on single causative factors of developmental disorders, favoring more complex, multifactorial approaches that consider genetics, environment, and social factors.
