Author Guidelines

Review Process
Each submission is refereed by the editorial board. Articles may be accepted, rejected, or returned for revision with the chance of publication. Initially, we use a double blind consideration process. After acceptance, the corresponding author is assigned a single point of contact editor who will work with the author through the revision, copy editing, page-proof, and publication process. 

Notes About Style and Formatting
Manuscripts are accepted in .rtf, .doc/docx, and .tex formats, should use 12 point Times New Roman or similarly sized and spaced font, and should have 1.25 inch margins on all sides. The journal uses LaTeX for typesetting and is published online in PDF format.

• Though there is not a formal word count policy, editors look for engaging, succinct articles that will hold reader interest. Guidance for typical maximum length of manuscripts (including all text and references): 
  • Evidence-based reports of teaching or research are generally no more than 5000 words;
  • All other types are usually less than 2600 words.
• Feel free to use a wide variety of pictures and diagrams, including photos and documents from applications (e.g., Geometer's Sketchpad and Geogebra).
• List references at the end of the article in alphabetical order by first author last name with appropriate corresponding citations in the text in American Psychological Association (APA) style (see http://www.apastyle.org/learn/quick-guide-on-references.aspx).
• Introduce all acronyms by writing out the entire title on first use (as in APA above).
• Explain any technical jargon that might not already be familiar to all of the readership.
• Potential authors are encouraged to review some of the existing articles from previous issues as further guidance.

Submitting a Manuscript

Prepare a document for submission that has:

1. A cover page with with:
   1. author name(s)
   2. affiliation(s) (if any)
   3. e-mail address for the corresponding author (i.e., who to contact about the submission),
   4. brief biographies (<50 words) for each author.
2. In the same file, after the cover page is an anonymous version of the manuscript (the pages after the cover page will be sent to reviewers and must contain no mention of author names or affiliations). This part of the manuscript includes:
   1. title,
   2. summary/abstract (up to 200 words),
   3. body of the manuscript: text with sub-headings and with tables and diagrams included, where they should appear in the text,
   4. reference list (this is a bibliography of only those resources mentioned explicitly in the text).

Submit your manuscript through the Submissions link. The link requires a short description for each file uploaded and contact email address for the person submitting it.
