Instructions for Authors

This journal uses ScholarOne Manuscripts (previously Manuscript Central) to peer review manuscript submissions. Please read the guide for ScholarOne authors before making a submission. Complete guidelines for preparing and submitting your manuscript to this journal are provided below.

Submission

Studying Teacher Education welcomes articles with a research focus on self-study of teaching and teacher education. All papers will be double blind reviewed by the journal's international review panel. Footnotes should be avoided. Final acceptance of papers for publication will be subject to required changes being made by authors.

The journal only accepts submissions via the Studying Teacher Education ScholarOne Manuscripts site. You will be required to make yourself an account before you can submit a paper.

Manuscript preparation

Two versions of your article must be submitted: one version (to be uploaded under the file designation 'Main Document') including title, abstract of 250 words, and full text but no identifying author information, and one full version including identifying author information (under the file designation 'File not for review'). Instead of supplying two versions of the article, you may, if you wish, submit a separate title page ('Title Page (not for review)') in addition to the anonymous version of your article, which we will combine into one file, should your paper be accepted.

Authors should also include in their submission a short note of biographical details and full postal, fax and email addresses as a separate file under the designation 'Author Bio'. An abstract of 250 words should also be included on the first page of the anonymous version of the article.

Manuscript word lengths must be strictly adhered to and may be either 6,000 or 9,000 words (including references) double-spaced. Authors must obtain permission to reproduce illustrations when necessary, and pay the relevant copyright fees and other costs. Such or any other kind of illustration, as well as Tables and Figures, should be submitted as separate files and not be included in the text of the article. Accordingly, they should be submitted in a form that is suitable for publication. The place at which a table, figure or illustration is to be inserted in the printed text should be indicated clearly on the manuscript. Captions should include keys to symbols.

As an author, you are required to secure permission if you want to reproduce any figure, table, or extract from the text of another source. This applies to direct reproduction as well as "derivative reproduction" (where you have created a new figure or table which derives substantially from a copyrighted source). For further information and FAQs, please see http://journalauthors.tandf.co.uk/preparation/permission.asp

Authors are required to submit papers in the style of the journal. Articles should be clearly and concisely written, using arguments that are fully substantiated with well-reasoned analysis and clear links to the data. All acronyms should be spelled out the first time they are mentioned. Contributors are asked to take account of the international readership of Studying Teacher Education by explaining in full the use of terms that might be meaningful only to a particular local or national audience.

For all manuscripts, non-discriminatory language is mandatory. Citations of other work should be limited to those necessary for the argument. Any quotations should be accompanied by precise references.

Manuscripts submitted should be original, not under review by any other publication and not published elsewhere.
