What kinds of articles are suitable for
the Journal of Thought?
The
Journal welcomes scholar’s work that represents varied
viewpoints, methodologies, disciplines, cultures, and
nationalities as it seeks to treat the most comprehensive issues
and problems confronting education throughout the world. Essays
that develop a reasoned and supported argument, that offer
insightful analysis and critiques of other’s arguments, or that
report on significant research of interest to the field are
welcomed. The editorial goal is to stimulate a warranted
synthesis of diverse viewpoints and to encourage
interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary dialogue.
What manual of style should be used?
Use the Chicago Manual of Style, 15th Edition or
the Publication Manual of the American Psychological
Association (5th Edition, APA). See Submission
Guidelines for details.
How long does it take for the
editors and reviewers to make a decision about a manuscript?
During the academic year, the response time is
approximately fourteen to sixteen weeks. Manuscripts submitted
in the late spring and summer may take additional time.
How long does it take for a
manuscript to be published after it is accepted for publication?
The time frame for publication after a manuscript has
been accepted varies depending upon a variety of variables. For
example, thematic and guest editor issues are often published at
a slower pace than are non-thematic issues. Generally, however,
manuscripts are published within twelve months after the time an
author is notified that her or his manuscript has been accepted
for publication.
May an article that was initially
not accepted be submitted to the journal again after revisions?
Yes, however it is recommended that authors do not
resubmit manuscripts if the reviewers’ feedback indicates that
the research is inappropriate for the Journal of Thought
and its readership.
Can an article that has already been
published, but that has been updated, be considered for
publication?
Ordinarily, no. Conversely, studies that are based upon
prior research but which are substantively different in a
current article draft are welcomed. To be substantively
different, the current research study must be significantly
different in methodology, findings, and/or conclusions.
