The book, a special issue of the Journal of Research on Adolescence, includes a number of invited contributions by international leaders in the interdisciplinary field of adolescence development.#xA0; Each paper is#xA0; intended to review a major subfield of study within the interdisciplinary field of adolescence studies. Each article#xA0; reviews scientific and scholarly research#xA0; published during the first decade of the 21st century (2000-2010). Authors were asked to consider contributions from multiple disciplines, and to review important and influential theoretical#xA0; methodological innovations, and key empirical findings with attention to diversity in representations and populations of adolescents. #xA0; The Decade in Review issue has the potential for becoming a signature#x1D; contribution of JRA. As such, the Decade in Review will further establish JRA as the premier journal in the field, and will be an anchor for the journal#x19;s impact factor. With a diverse set of topics and contributors, the issue could attract a national and international new readership to the journal and potential membership for the Society.#xA0; Established scholars and undergraduate and graduate students will cite the papers in their scholarly work in the next decade and beyond.
