Miscellany
Scope of the JTE
The Journal of Technology Education provides a forum
for scholarly discussion on topics relating to technology
education. Manuscripts should focus on technology education
research, philosophy, theory, or practice. 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 editorial 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 "in house" which generally takes
about two weeks.
Manuscript Submission Guidelines
1. Five copies of each manuscript should be submitted to:
Mark Sanders, JTE Editor, 144 Smyth Hall, Virginia Tech,
Blacksburg, VA 24061-0432 (703)231-8173. Bitnet: msanders @
vtvm1. Internet: msanders @ vtvm1.cc.vt.edu.
2. All manuscripts must be double-spaced and must adhere
strictly to the guidelines published in Publication
Guidelines of the American Psychological Association (3rd
Edition).
3. Manuscripts that are accepted for publication must be
resubmitted (following any necessary revisions) both in hard
copy and on a 3 1/2" or 5 1/4" floppy disk (either MS-DOS or
Macintosh format). Moreover, the disk version must be in
both the native word processor format (such as WordPerfect
or MS Word) and in ASCII format.
4. Manuscripts for articles should generally be 15-20 pages
in length (25 pages is an absolute maximum). Book reviews,
editorials, and reactions should be three to six manuscript
pages.
5. Tables should be used only when data cannot be
incorporated into the body of the text.

form.
