Non-Refereed Manuscript Policies
The JIT publishes Non-Refereed (NR) submissions related to industrial technology and technology management topics. Aim and Scope: The aim and scope of NR submissions are broader than that for JIT refereed articles. The NR focuses on nonresearch pieces of importance to the readership, or articles that have some research basis but do not meet the criteria for review as a peer-refereed article. Topical Content and Format: • Appropriate content includes book reviews, opinion pieces, curricula, accreditation and certification information, and other topics of interest. Reports on new development in programs, administrative issues, curriculum development and delivery that do not include comparative research with existing or traditional approaches and do not otherwise fit JIT reviewed publication categories are normally considered for non-refereed publication. • An article not accepted for publication after peer-review may be, at the discretion of the Editorial Panel, considered for publication as a non-refereed article. • A submission might be best described as editorial, informational, or otherwise; however, the grammar, clarity of purpose, and other quality measures of an NR submission should be on par with that of a refereed submission. • All manuscripts should be submitted in electronic format adhering to the current edition of the Publications Manual of the American Psychological Association. Submissions must be in English and be a maximum of 10 pages, unless the Editorial Panel makes an exception. Process: • NR submissions are evaluated by the Editorial Panel or by one reviewer. The Editorial Panel bases their decision on the usefulness of the manuscript to the field. • The JIT Editorial Panel makes editorial decisions and approves manuscripts for publication. • The JIT Administrator, in collaboration with the JIT Editorial Panel, communicates editorial decisions to the author(s).
