Guidelines for The New Educator Guest-Edited Journal Submissions
Guest editors are responsible for the submission, review, revision, and acceptance process with the assistance of the editor and associate editors. The journal should be completely themed with 6-7 articles.
Prospective guest editors must submit a formal proposal for a special issue with the following information:
- A succinct statement of intent. Describe the nature and scope of the topic to be covered, its importance and/or uniqueness to the literature on issues that are explicitly related to the focus of The New Educator (please see the journal's aims and scope).
- A bulleted list of topics for articles that would fit within the theme. These would connect the theme of the proposed issue to the focus of The New Educator.
- The prospective editor's (s') CV(s).
- A call for manuscripts and description of a peer review process. The call should include the journal's mission, a link to the journal's website with other information for authors, and the review process must entail at lease two anonymous reviews through the ScholarOne manuscript system.
- A timeline. The editors will provide specific timeframes for distributing the call for manuscripts, recruiting authors and reviewers, reviewing submissions, and if accepted, guest editors will be required to complete the following steps:
- Conduct an anonymous peer review process (at least two qualified reviewers) through ScholarOne.
- Submit a revised timetable projecting the sequence by which guest editor(s) will solicit, expect receipt, and perform preliminary editing of manuscripts, ending in submission of all materials to TNE at least three (3) months prior to issue date (month).
- Obtain firm commitments from prospective authors, along with abstracts (250-300 words) of their proposed articles, and brief biographical/contact information on each contributor.
- Submit a guest editorial (4-8 page) describing the guest editor(s) intent in presenting the articles, addressing the issue at hand, and/or summarizing the article themes.
- Assist the TNE Editors in obtaining the cooperation of authors during the manuscript preparation process (e.g., following up on editor inquires about manuscripts, copy-editing and prompting authors to return copy-edited articles, galley corrections, and release forms in a timely fashion, etc.).
Prospective guest editors should note that though a proposal may be acceptable as a whole, individual articles may be deemed unacceptable upon review by the TNE Editors. Thus, the journal retains the privilege of recommending to guest editors that an invited article(s) be rejected should it fail to meet TNE standards of quality, clarity, or scholarship, or require inordinate editing to bring it up to standard or style.
