History

The 2027 PrimEarly: Journal of Elementary Education and Early Childhood Studies article template has been revised to improve manuscript presentation and strengthen transparency and accountability in scholarly publishing. The updates include adjustments to the formatting of article titles and author affiliations, a specified abstract length of 150–200 words with an explicit statement of the study’s academic contribution to elementary education and early childhood studies, and the renaming of the closing section to “Conclusion.” The revised template also introduces dedicated sections for Author Contributions, Declaration of AI Use, and Acknowledgment to promote transparency in the research and publication process. The core article structure and APA 7th edition citation style remain unchanged.
