The New Educator - Author Guidelines

Submission of Manuscripts

Manuscripts should be submitted for review electronically to https://www.tandfonline.com/action/authorSubmission. Manuscripts should be prepared using MS Word and should be approximately 6500 words. All parts of the manuscript should be typewritten, doublespaced, with margins of at least one inch on all sides. Please number manuscript pages consecutively throughout the paper.

Each manuscript should include a cover sheet containing the author's name, affiliation, position, preferred mailing address, telephone number(s), fax number, and e-mail address. All other pages should have a running head (not exceeding 50 character spaces) and page number. Identifying information should not appear elsewhere in the manuscript in order to ensure an impartial review.

Please include an abstract of no more than 100 words. Manuscripts, including figures, tables, and references, must conform to the specifications described in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 5th edition. Tables, illustrations, photos, and figures are encouraged.

Authors are requested to submit the manuscript electronically (prepared using MS Word), and sent through e-mail). Each submitted file should be clearly labeled with the author's last name and the running head of the manuscript. All figures, charts, photographs, or work samples must be saved as separate files with separate file names.

Tables and Figures

All illustrations, tables, figures, and charts should not be embedded in the text, but should be included as separate files. A short descriptive title should appear above each table with a clear legend and any footnotes suitably identified below.  Figures should be completely labeled, taking into account necessary size reduction.
