Manuscript Submission

The manuscript should represent original work, not published previously in print or electronic form. The text should be double spaced, in 12 pt. Times New Roman typeface, and introduced with a 100-word unstructured abstract. The page limit for text is approximately 25 pages for Reports of Original Research and Explications of Theory, and 10 pages for Reflections (please note that the page limit does not include the title page, abstract, references, tables, figures, or other supplemental materials). There should be a one-inch margin on all sides of an 8 ½ x 11-inch page. The manuscript should conform to the style specifications of the American Psychological Association as described in the Concise Rules of APA Style, Seventh Edition, published by the Association in 2019. A reasonable number of clear tables and/or figures may be included at the end of the text.

Consistent with the policy of anonymous review, the author(s)’ name(s), role(s), and institutional affiliation(s) should be listed only on a cover page that will be removed before the manuscript is sent to the reviewers. That cover page should include the name of the corresponding author, e-mail and postal addresses, and telephone number. References to the author(s)’ previous work should be listed as Author(s) in the citations and references. Acknowledgment of cooperating scholars or professionals and funding sources should be added to the end of the cover page.

Manuscript Review and Selection

The corresponding author will receive a notice of receipt of the manuscript within two weeks. Once your manuscript is received, it will be read by the editors to determine whether it will be sent for peer review. If accepted for peer review, authors will receive the reviewers’ decision within three months. Four types of decisions are made: Accept as submitted, Accept with revisions, Revise and resubmit, or Not accepted. All manuscripts will be judged on adherence to the Guidelines for Authors, the quality and significance of the content, the inclusion of a valid discussion of implications for practice in the broader field of education, and the clarity and cohesion of the text.

Upon acceptance of a manuscript, the author(s) will be expected to agree to assign the rights to the copyright to the Journal of Education, with the authors retaining broad duplication and distribution rights for teaching and related educational uses.
