About this journal
Aims and scope
Gifted and Talented International (GTI) is an international, refereed journal publishing articles that significantly contribute to our understanding and promotion of giftedness, talent, and creativity in children, adolescents, and adults. Its purpose is to share current theory, research, and practice in gifted education with its audience of international educators, scholars, researchers, and parents.
GTI publishes original research, theoretical studies, systematic literature review papers or accounts of practice. Integrative literature reviews and theoretical pieces that appreciate empirical work are welcome. Topics include: development, personality and individual differences, affect and motivation, social behavior and cross-cultural issues in relation to giftedness, talent, and creativity; teacher education and professional development; curriculum development and implementation, research on instructional strategies, and school interventions, and evaluations of programs and services; twice-exceptionality; and counseling issues.
GTI is published twice a year.
Peer Review Policy: GTI uses a double-anonymized peer review process based on initial editor screening.

Understanding and using journal metrics
Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication. However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to support and not replace qualitative review.
We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.
For more details, please read the Author Services guide to understanding journal metrics.
