Submissions

Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.

• The submission is an invited or preapproved book review or an essay invited by series editors. Any other type of work will not be considered in this journal.
• If a book review, the submission is under 2,000 words (preferred length is 1,500 words). If the editors preapproved the submission of an essay review containing more than 2,000 words, this should be noted as a Comment to the Editor during Step 1 of the submission process.
• The file is in a standard word-processing format (such as Microsoft Word or Rich Text Format). The main text is double-spaced, written in 12-point (preferably Garamond) font, contains no numbered or bulleted paragraphs, and is formatted according to the guidelines of 7th Edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA), unless otherwise specified. The first line of each new paragraph should be indented by one-half inch or 1.27 cm. Do not add additional spaces between paragraphs. All titles in citations should be sentence-case, not title case.
• The prose has been written in readable, professional English, Spanish, or Portuguese, and has been proofread for grammar (e.g., active voice, limited personification) and conventions (e.g., spelling, punctuation, capitalization, paragraphing).
• The submission is entirely the work of the author(s) and the first and last names, affiliations, e-mail addresses, and ORCiDs of all author(s) are included with the submission. Artificial intelligence (AI) tools cannot be considered or listed as an author of a submission. The use of AI tools such as ChatGPT to assist in the production of manuscripts is an emerging issue in research. Like most journals, Education Review requires that the author(s) be responsible for the creation and interpretation of their work and accountable for its accuracy, integrity, and validity. Any use of AI to produce the submission should be detailed in the Comments to the Editor and any text or analyses produced using AI should be checked for accuracy, refined, and elaborated by the author(s).
• The submission is not under consideration for publication by another journal, nor has it been previously published, unless an explanation of a special circumstance is provided in Comments to the Editor.
• Every review should begin with the full citation of the reviewed book, including author/s (including first initial/s), copyright date, full title including any subtitle, place of publication, publisher, number of pages, and ISBN number. The reference of the book under review is not included in a reference list.
• If accepted for publication, final versions of book reviews must be placed in the standard journal template, provided to the Author of the review from the Editor.
• Author(s) confirm that there are no conflicts of interest to report.
• Note to students: While the journal publishes reviews authored by students, we ask that students do not submit book reviews for class assignments. If a professor or instructor has suggested that you submit a book review for consideration, please note this as a Comment to the Editor in Step #1 of the submission process, providing the name of the professor, course, program, and university associated with the assignment. and any other pertinent information that qualifies you to write the review.
