| Abstract: | Funding for research in the area of early childhood is an ongoing challenge. The present research objective was to identify
the frequency of acknowledgment of federal funding in articles published by four leading early childhood journals from 1999
to 2008. We conducted a content analysis of 1,338 publications found in Early Child Development and Care, Early Childhood Education Journal, Early Childhood Research and Practice, and Early Childhood Research Quarterly. Approximately 28% of the sample (368 articles in the target journals) reported funding in general. More specifically, 43%
of the sample (160 articles of the 368 articles funded) reported federal funding. It is concluded that external funding, particularly
federal funding for early childhood research may be the exception rather than the rule. |
