Applications of Translation and Implementation Science
A special issue of the Journal of Community Psychology
Editor: Editor-in-Chief, Michael B. Blank
Journal of Community Psychology is planning special issues that
describe approaches to applications of translation and implementation science.
Both areas are focused on the "process" of adaptation of
interventions and treatments. Recently there has been growing interest in
translational research and implementation science. Translational research
describes efforts to take interventions developed in one setting, culture, or
in one language and moving it to a different setting, culture. or language, and
often that translation requires modifications and adaptations. Implementation
science is the study of methods to promote the adoption and integration of
evidence-based practices, interventions and policies into routine health care
and public health settings. These concepts are often used interchangeably and
although there is overlap, there are also distinctions.
Authors should submit manuscript to ScholarOne, https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jcop,
no later than April 30, 2019. The cover letter should indicate that the
manuscript is for a special issue.
