CD CASES
Community Development: Journal of the Community Development Society is pleased to include the CD Cases section in the journal. One to three applied case studies will be presented in each CD Cases offering. The purpose of this section is to provide a venue for publishing peer reviewed case study research that provides useful information for community development researchers and practitioners and insights into applied community development work.
To submit a manuscript for consideration in CD Cases, visit http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/rcod . All manuscripts must be formatted in accordance with American Psychological Style (APA) guidelines and to specifications listed on the website. Note that manuscripts must not be longer than 25 pages, double-spaced.
A case study involves in-depth research and understanding on a given or chosen subject matter. A typical manuscript would include these components: introduction, literature review, methodology, study, analysis, conclusions and recommendations, and references. The journal does not accept manuscripts that are purely descriptive – the research must be generalizable and provide relevant insight/implications/findings for the field of community development. The case study methodology must be fully explained and supporting literature must be presented. The journal does not usually accept economic impact studies unless new methodologies are utilized. Note that all manuscripts for CD Cases will be peer reviewed.

CALL FOR PAPERS
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT: JOURNAL OF THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SOCIETY
SPECIAL ISSUE ON COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT APPROACHES TO IMPROVING PUBLIC HEALTH
A special issue of Community Development: Journal of the Community Development Society is being organized to highlight papers that describe, analyze, and interpret innovative community development strategies to create healthier environments and improve public health.
Across America, it has become clear that ill-considered land use, economic development and redevelopment planning decisions are having an adverse effect on public health. Land use planning, economic development and redevelopment have long operated in isolation from public health, and as a result, we allowed have places to be built where the following conditions are common:
· Communities built exclusively for auto-based transportation where walking and cycling to school, to work, or for pleasure is difficult and often dangerous;
· sprawling low density places, where mixed use is discouraged and grocery stores and jobs are far from residential areas;
· Places in which parks and playgrounds are rare and often non-existent;
· Schools and houses that are built near major sources of pollution;
· School yards and indoor recreational facilities which stay locked and unavailable for community use on evening and weekends.
Such unhealthy environments have contributed to the dramatic increase in chronic diseases as obesity, diabetes and asthma. In low income neighborhoods, where these environmental problems are more pronounced, residents live markedly shorter and unhealthier lives than those in well to do neighborhoods.
In face of this reality, the disconnected fields of public health, city planning and economic development and redevelopment are beginning to work together more effectively to build healthier environments. Local governments, private developers, and community groups are creating new policies, programs, and developments that improve community health outcomes--by ensuring that farmers' markets and neighborhood grocery stores are supported, for instance, or by promoting sidewalks, parks and other environmental components that encourage physical activity.
Getting these public agencies and private entities to re-imagine their missions and to work together, and to do so effectively, to build healthier and more sustainable places, is a task that requires a great deal of tenacity, creativity, and effort. It also takes continual learning and tactical innovation.
This special issue of Community Development: Journal of the Community Development Society will examine the efforts of these community development approaches to building healthier environments. We invite the submission of papers that examine innovative techniques and approaches used by local governments, community advocates, and the private sector to improve food access, promote mixed use development, increase physical activity opportunities, and ameliorate air quality.
Decisions to invite full papers for review will be provided by the end of November. Submissions for the journal are no longer being accepted at this time. Call for Paper submissions will re-open in 2010.

Information on the Reviewing Process and Scheduling
The timeframe for the reviewing process can take up to six months. Once the manuscript is submitted, it is processed internally and an initial decision is made whether or not to place in the review process. If accepted for review, then reviewers are identified who have expertise and interest in the topic of the manuscript. The process of identifying and securing an affirmative response from potential reviewers can take several weeks or longer. Once the reviewer has agreed, they have 30 days to submit. Sometimes, a reviewer will agree and find they do not have time to submit the review; in this case, we have to identify and find a new reviewer and this may result in some delay. Once all reviews are returned, the editor assesses them and makes the final decision. Therefore, a decision cannot be returned within 30 days to you. We strive for an efficient process, but do allow us time to complete a thorough and comprehensive review of your manuscript. If your manuscript requires revision, you will have up to six months to resubmit online or the system will time it out. It does not always take this long, unless major revisions or a review resubmission is required. After the final manuscript is received, it will be sent to production and assignment to an issue. You will receive a proof copy a month or so before printing date.
