NOTES FOR CONTRIBUTORSNOTES FOR CONTRIBUTORS

1. Contributions to Special Education Perspectives

may refer to any aspect of special education prac-tice, policy, or research. They may take the form of

position papers, critical reviews of literature, brief

reports of action research, or empirical studies. In

line with the practical focus of the journal, papers

that provide practitioners with research-based sup-

port and strategies are especially welcome. Potential

authors may like to look at Teaching Exceptional

Children as a model for this type of submission.

2. The journal has three sections: (A) PracticallySpeaking, containing papers that have received

editorial review; (B) Refereed papers (see 5.); and

(C) Positively Inuencing.

3. Please send your paper electronically as an email

attachment to:

David Paterson

email: [email protected]

with a covering email listing the names of all

authors, contact details for correspondence, and a

statement to indicate that the paper has not been

published elsewhere, nor is the paper currently

under review elsewhere.

4. It is imperative that prospective authors follow

the conventions of the Publication Manual of

the American Psychological Association (APA)

Sixth Edition when preparing papers. Authors are

advised to consult published referencing guides or

previous journal issues in which APA guidelines are

followed. The manuscript should be wordprocessedon A4 size. Italics should be used for sources in the

reference list rather than underlining. An abstract of

approximately 100 words should be included. All

gures, graphics and tables should be high-quality

camera-ready copy, in black and white, presented

on separate sheets with a descriptive caption. The

location of each gure, graphic or table should

be indicated in the body of the paper. We cannot

guarantee the reproduction clarity of colour

gures, graphics or tables.

5. All papers submitted to the refereed section of

the journal follow a double-blind review pro-

cess. A minimum of two members of the edito-

rial committee (or other invited experts) provide

feedback on the papers and monitor revisions

as appropriate. It is therefore important that

you do not identify yourself in the body of the

paper.
