Submissions
Submission Preparation Checklist
All submissions must meet the following requirements.
- The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
- The submission file is in OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, or RTF document file format.
- Where available, URLs for the references have been provided.
- The text is single-spaced; uses a 12-point font; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.
- The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines.
Articles
Articles criticize or develop and advance a particular theoretical perspective, and contribute to theoretical integration, by considering and critically evaluating already existing theoretical perspectives on the question of interest. They also provide an overview of the "state of the art" in the particular area, and identify important avenues for future research. They include full Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion sections.
Book Reviews
We welcome book reviews of scholarly works and textbooks dealing with the quality in education. Submitted reviews will be considered for publication on the basis of the quality of the evaluation and description of the book, as well as the relevance and importance of the book to the field of education.
Book reviews should provide both a description and a substantive evaluation of the content, with the emphasis on the latter.
The typical published review provides an introduction to the book, its purpose, and its intended audience. Then, the structure of the book (e.g., themes, sections, chapters, etc) is usually provided. Descriptions of chapter contents, with illustrative examples and comments, are provided when possible; however, in the case that there are numerous chapters, summaries and/or details of select sections can be considered as part of your assessment. Book reviews typically end with a substantive evaluation of the book’s strengths and areas for improvement.
Include a full citation at the beginning of the review, including title, author/editor, edition, date of publication, place of publication, publisher, pagination, and ISBN number.
