7th Conference on Emerging Adulthood
Greetings!
I am thrilled to announce that the
arrangements for our 2015 SSEA conference in
Miami have been finalized. The conference
will be held at the
Biscayne Bay Marriott, which is right
next to the water, on beautiful Biscayne Bay
about 10 minutes north of downtown Miami.
The area around the hotel has lots of
excellent restaurants and nice places to
walk and shop. The hotel is also about 2
miles (3 km) from the exciting South Beach
area and has a complimentary shuttle to and
from South Beach. There is also a water taxi
that can take you to some of the islands
that are accessible only by boat. There are
buses and trains that can take you anywhere
in the downtown area within just a few
minutes. We will be very close to the action
this time. And the average daytime
temperature in Miami in mid-October is 85
degrees Fahrenheit (29 degrees Centigrade).
The conference will be held between
Wednesday, October 14th, and Friday, October
16th, 2015. Moin Syed from the
University of Minnesota and Elisabetta
Crocetti from Utrecht University will be
your conference committee chair and co-chair
for the next meeting. I will be your
conference host (as well as
president-elect).
The
Call for Proposals for the 2015
conference is here!
Submissions are open until March 4th (the
flyer has not been updated).
Please stay posted for further communication
regarding conference hotel rates.
If you have any questions or concerns about
the Miami area, including flight
arrangements, please let me know.
I am so excited about the conference and
about seeing all of you here in Miami next
year!

SSEA
JOINS ADOLESCENT AND YOUNG ADULT NATIONAL RESOURCE CENTER NETWORK
SSEA has been invited to participate in a proposed
Adolescent and Young Adult National Resource Center Network,
which will focus on the mental and physical health needs of
adolescents and emergent adults. Seth Schwartz, SSEA
President-elect, will serve on the National Advisory Board
for this network.
EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENTS FROM
EMERGING ADULTHOOD
1. Emerging Adulthood will be
moving from 4 to 6 issues in 2015.
2. After the first 2 complete volumes
in March 2015, we plan to apply for
inclusion in Thomson Reuters and a journal
impact factor. The estimated impact factor
(based on manuscripts published in 2013) is
currently 2.61 (07/03/2014 Harzing's Publish
or Perish).
3. Emerging Adulthood has
been accepted for indexing in Scopus and
PsycINFO.
4. Emerging Adulthood is now
also accepting brief reports. Brief reports
include preliminary findings, replications
(or failure of replication) of previous
empirical findings in the literature, or
empirical findings that are not substantial
enough to warrant a full report. Brief
reports are also well suited for findings
that warrant timely dissemination:
Emerging Adulthood aims to turn brief
reports around within 2-3 weeks of
submission. While shorter than original
manuscripts, brief reports should still make
a significant contribution to current
knowledge on development and adaptation from
age 18 to 29. Brief reports should be
limited to 1500 words (main text) and a
maximum of 15 references. For more
information visit

ANNOUNCING THE SSEA TOPIC NETWORKS
The goal of the Topic
Networks is to bring together SSEA members
who have common interests in a specific area
of emerging adulthood research or practice.
The activities of the Topic Networks will
depend on the ideas of the members, but may
include, for example, sharing draft
manuscripts for comments and suggestions;
collaborating on papers and grants; sharing
best practices for direct work with emerging
adults; letting members know about important
recent articles; collaborating on symposia
to submit to an SSEA conference; or working
together to organize a preconference
session.
If you would like to join any of the Topic
Networks below, please contact the SSEA
Coordinator, Megan Patterson,
coordinator@ssea.org. You may join as
many as you like. We also welcome your ideas
for more Topic Networks. Please note that
YOU MUST BE AN SSEA MEMBER
to join a Topic Network.
