General Guidelines

Material must be original, scientifically accurate, and in good form editorially. The manuscript should be informative, summarizing the basic facts and conclusions, and maintaining a coherence and unity of thought. Controversial topics should be treated in a factually sound and reasonably unbiased manner. Before submitting an article, please review the following suggestions. Original manuscripts received in correct form serve to expedite the review process, others will be returned to author. Spelling, punctuation, sentence structure, and the mechanical elements of arrangements, spacing, length, and consistency of usage in form and descriptions should be studied before submission.

Originality

All manuscripts must be original. No manuscript will be considered which has already been published or is being considered by another magazine or journal. However, if work described in conference proceedings is substantially revised and extended, it will be considered. Submission of a manuscript represents certification by the author that the article is not being considered nor has been published elsewhere.

Handling of Manuscripts

All manuscripts are acknowledged upon receipt. Review is carried out as promptly as possible. The manuscript will be reviewed by at least two members of the Editorial Review Board, which takes usually no more than eight weeks. When a decision for publication or rejection is made, the first author or author designated to receive correspondence is notified.

Topics

Please make your topic selection for your article from those listed on the Submission Form.

Abstract

Each article should include an informative, comprehensive abstract of 75 to 200 words. This abstract should succinctly summarize the major points of the paper, and the author's summary and/or conclusions.

Mechanical Requirements

Please use a spell checker. Length should not exceed 7,500 words. A magazine page of text is typically 750 words (4,650 characters), with each illustration being roughly 200 words (1,250). Sidebars and references must be included in the page count. Use as little formatting as possible in the manuscript since it will be removed and revised to conform to our production requirements. Do not use a word processor’s "style sheets." Use line returns only at the end of paragraphs; not after every line. Do not indent at beginning of paragraphs, instead use a double linefeed between paragraphs.

Artwork (Screenshots, Charts, Graphs, Tables, Printouts, Illustrations)

All tables and figure graphics must be embedded within the file and of such quality that when printed be in camera-ready form (publication quality). Within the submitted file, number and type captions at the top of each table. Number figures in sequence. All artwork must be cited in the text, be numbered, and have captions. Please list art credits and copyrights for images. Charts and tables should have tabs, not spaces, delineating columns. Do not use the Table feature in your word processor. 

Credits and Acknowledgments

Acknowledgments or appreciation to individuals for assistance with the manuscript or with the material reported should be included in the Acknowledgment at the end of the article.

References

Authors are responsible for checking the accuracy of all references and that all references cited in the text also appear in the Reference section. All references should be in alphabetical order by author (unnumbered) APA style. Beyond this, the journal asks you to limit the number of references to 15, citing only those that substantiate specific points made in your article. Citation examples (1) book and (2) periodical:

Knowles, M.S. (1975). Self-directed learning: A guide for learners and teachers. New York: Association Press.
