Published manuscripts are high-quality guest articles, refereed articles, "At Issue" essays, "Comments," reviews of books/media and computer hardware and software in an "Under Review" section, and special feature issues that report scholarly inquiry and commentary broadly related to industrial and technical teacher education, military training, and industrial training.

All manuscripts submitted for publication must be accompanied by a cover letter that specifies the section of the Journal for which the manuscript is intended and an abstract that describes the essence of the manuscript in 150 words or less. Manuscripts must conform to guidelines provided in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (2001, 5 th ed.). Use the APA's "place table here" placeholder in the text for tables and figures and place tables and figures at the end of the manuscript.
Manuscripts may be submitted in electronic form as email attachments, as files on a CD, or on 3.5” disks. The preferred format is Microsoft Word “saved as Word 2003”, or earlier.
The submission procedures are intended to facilitate editing and producing the Journal .
