Manuscript Guidelines, Submission Requirements, and Editorial Procedures
Content
Most journal issues will have thematic and nonthematic sections. The journal provides a forum for the exchange of information and ideas concerning the improvement of teacher education. Manuscripts submitted should reflect this purpose. Manuscripts should concern concepts, practices, or research studies that have implications and applicability for practitioners involved with teacher education.
Preparation for Review
Manuscripts, including all references, charts, figures, and tables, generally should not exceed 20 pages. All submissions must be prepared using a computer word processing program. Manuscripts must adhere strictly to guidelines set in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, fifth edition, 2001. Double space all text including quotations and references, and provide 1.5-inch margins all around. References must be complete and placed at the end of the manuscript. Please place tables, charts, figures, appendices or illustrations after the references on separate pages.
Authors should not cite or reference their own name but instead use the word "author" followed by the publication date. Alphabetize references to "author" under "A" and not under the letter of the author’s last name. Do not include titles or the names of coauthors in the "author" citations or references.
