Author's Article Submission Requirements: Manuscripts should be concise yet sufficiently detailed to permit critical review. All submissions must be via email to the Editor and must contain an abstract, which should not exceed 250 words. Manuscripts should conclude with a section on Recommendations for Practice stating what the implications of the research findings are to practitioners in the field and including any recommendations for change indicated by the research results.

Manuscripts must be submitted to the Editor-in-Chief, Russell Porter, Ph.D., Ed.D. at russellporter@clayton.edu or at drporter@socraticpublishing.com

Submission of Manuscripts

An Original and one copy of each manuscript should be submitted to the editor as an email (same email, separate files). Authors may submit manuscripts on disk, but the review process will be considerably longer. The email and disk submissions should be prepared using MS Word or WordPerfect and should be clearly labeled with the authors’ names, file name, and software program. All parts of the manuscript should be typewritten, double-spaced, with margins of at least one inch on all sides. Number manuscript pages consecutively throughout the paper. Authors should also supply a shortened version of the title suitable for the running head, not exceeding 50 character spaces. Each article should be summarized in an abstract of 150-250 words, which should be typed, double-spaced, on a separate page. Avoid abbreviations, diagrams, and reference to the text within the abstract.

All papers, including figures, tables, and references, must conform to the specifications described in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (Current Edition). Any papers that do not adhere to this style will be returned for revision.

Each manuscript must be accompanied by a statement that it has not been published elsewhere and that it has not been submitted simultaneously for publication elsewhere (same email or disc). Authors are responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce copyrighted material from other sources and are required to sign an agreement for the transfer of copyright to the publisher. All accepted manuscripts, artwork, and photographs become the property of the publisher.

Tables and Figures

Tables and figures should be embedded in the text and ready for print. A short descriptive title should appear above each table with a clear legend and any footnotes suitably identified below. All units must be included. Figures should be completely labeled, taking into account necessary size reduction. All original figures should be clearly marked and able to be downloaded via an email or disc medium.

Illustrations

Illustrations submitted (line drawings, halftones, photos, photomicrographs, etc.) should be clean originals and with  digital files. Digital files are accepted only and with the following recommendations for highest quality reproduction:

  • 300 dpi or higher, sized to fit on journal page, submitted as separate files, not embedded in text files

No color illustrations will be considered for publication.

Reprints

The corresponding author of each article (designate one for each article) will receive one complete copy of the issue in which the article appears.  Copyrighting of the copy allows for up to 10 copies to be distributed by the corresponding author (either in virtual or printed medium).  Reprints of an individual article may be ordered from Socratic Publishing by using the reprint order form included with the copy email.  Each reprint will allow for an additional 10 copies either in virtual or printed medium by the corresponding author at the cost of $29.
