Abstract
The Journal of Social Studies Research is a refereed journal indexed in the Current Index to Journals in Education and University Microfilms International. The journal publishes article length manuscripts, brief reports, and special monographs on research, evaluation, and developmental activities connected with (a) elementary, middle, and secondary level social science/social studies curriculum and instruction and (b) social studies teacher education.
Manuscript preparation should follow the guidelines found in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association. An abstract of approximately 150 words must accompany all article length manuscripts. Submissions of photographs are not permitted, and figures and tables should be sent in a form ready for duplication in the published article.
Brief reports require no abstract and the use of figures and tables are discouraged. Brief reports should run approximately two to three journal pages. The editors will reduce the manuscript, if necessary, to fit the two to three page requirement.
The journal will consider special monographs on topics related to the editorial policy of the journal. Authors interested in having proposed monographs considered for publication as special issues of the journals should submit a proposal to the editor for review by members of the editorial board. The proposal should include the nature of the proposed monograph, the authors, and approximate length. Proposals should be as specific as possible to allow for proper evaluation by members of the editorial board.
Three copies of each manuscript are required and should be printed with professional quality settings for scanning ease. Send manuscripts to Kay E. Weller, Sabin Hall #1, Department of Geography, University of Northern Iowa, Cedar Falls, IA 50614–0406.
The journal sends each author complimentary copies of the issue in which their article appears, but cannot provide reprints of articles. Therefore, authors of published manuscripts have permission to make reprints of their own articles.
