Manuscript Submission Guidelines for the Journal of Advanced Academics
The quarterly Journal of Advanced Academics is an exciting journal that focuses on research that supports and enhances advanced academic achievement for students of all ages. In particular, JAA publishes articles that feature strategies for increasing academic achievement, programs that promote high levels of academic achievement and engagement, and programs that prepare students to engage in high-level and rigorous academics.
There are a variety of ways that students are served by or are prepared for advanced academic programs. Articles may include
-
reports on original research,
-
project descriptions and evaluations,
-
syntheses of the literature,
-
program assessments, and
-
theoretical or conceptual positions.
Manuscripts are evaluated by referees using a blind review process. All manuscripts and accompanying graphic files (saved as TIFF, JPG, or GIF graphic format) must be submitted electronically to our online submission page (http://www.jaa.uconn.edu). Acceptable formats for electronic submission are MSWord or RTF (we cannot accept Word Perfect format). All text, including title, headings, references, quotations, figure captions, and tables, must be typed double-spaced with one-inch margins all around. Please employ a font size of 12 Times. Manuscripts should be between 10 and 25 double-spaced U.S. standard letter size (8 1/2" x 11") pages in length or between 2,500 and 6,000 words (excluding references). In addition, include a summary of 300 words, a listing of four or five keywords useful in indexing the manuscript, and a mailing address and brief biographical statement for each author. When reporting tests of statistical significance, please report and interpret effect sizes.
The first page of the article should contain the title, word count, contributor statements, and contact information for all authors (institution, mailing address, phone and fax number, and e-mail address). The contributor’s names and biographical statements should appear only on this page for purposes of blind review. The second page should begin with the title, summary, and keywords. All references that would reveal the identity of the authors should be replaced with the word Author throughout the manuscript. For writing and editorial style, authors must follow guidelines in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5th edition, 2001). The editors request that all text pages be numbered.
The Journal of Advanced Academics invites submission of manuscripts for consideration for publication. Please submit to: http://www.jaa.uconn.edu.
