Miscellany

Scope of the JTE

The Journal of Technology Education provides a forum for scholarly discussion on topics relating to technology and engineering-related education. Manuscripts should focus on technology and engineering-related education research, philosophy, and theory. In addition, the Journal publishes book reviews, editorials, guest articles, comprehensive literature reviews, and reactions to previously published articles.

Editorial/Review Process

Manuscripts that appear in the Articles section have been subjected to a blind review by three or more members of the JTE Editorial Review Board. This process generally takes from six to eight weeks, at which time authors are promptly notified of the status of their manuscript. Book reviews, editorials, and reactions are reviewed by the Editor.

Manuscript Submission Guidelines

One paper copy of each manuscript and an electronic version in Microsoft Word format on a CD, diskette, or other electronic media should be submitted to:

1. Overseas submissions in Microsoft Word format may be sent electronically via the Internet (to cpmerri@ilstu.edu ) to expedite the review process.
2. All manuscripts must be double-spaced and must adhere to the guidelines published in Publication Guidelines of the American Psychological Association (6th Edition). Tables and figures, however, should be imbedded within the text itself rather than at the end of the document.
3. All figures and artwork must be scalable to fit within the JTE page size (4.5” x 7.25” column width and length) and included electronically within the document.
4. Line drawings and graphs must be editable within Microsoft products and in vector rather than raster format when possible.
5. Shading should not be used as a background for illustrations or graphs and within bar graphs. If needed, fill patterns consisting of lines should be used.
6. Manuscripts for articles should generally be 15-20 pages (22,000-36,000 characters in length, with 36,000 characters an absolute maximum). Book reviews, editorials, and reactions should be approximately four to eight manuscript pages (approx. 6,000-12,000 characters).
7. Authors for whom English is not the primary language must enlist a native English editor for the manuscript prior to submission. This person and his/her email address must be identified on the title page of the manuscript.
