Manuscript Submission Guidelines:
The aim of Advances in Gender and Education is to publish current and scholarly articles
on gender and education. The journal welcomes publications that use student-centered
data as well as quantitative data. Papers that combine qualitative and quantitative data
are highly encouraged to be submitted.

Papers that are accepted for this journal need to have at least two of these qualifications:

   1. Combine quantitative and qualitative data.
   2. Take a systematic qualitative or ethnographic approach.
   3. Use an original and creative methodological approach.
   4. Present new theoretical or conceptual ideas.

In order to be considered for publication, papers must be submitted with a cover letter
clearly outlining how the paper addresses at least two of the qualifications.

In addition to journal articles, Advances in Gender and Education publishes
scholarly essays, which are short pieces (2,000 words or less) in which an author presents
ideas that may have limited empirical support, but inspire new thinking and research.
Some essays may provide a thoughtful critique of a research area while making
constructive suggestions for new ways of approaching it. Writers interested in writing
and submitting an essay should contact the editor first to confirm the appropriateness of
the proposed topic.

The journal accepts ELECTRONIC SUBMISSIONS ONLY. Manuscripts should be
submitted via e-mail (in Microsoft Word format) to Margaret M. Ferrara, Editor, at
ferrara@unr.edu.

The editor will review all manuscripts within 1 month and then inform the lead author
whether or not the paper has met the Advances in Gender and Education criteria. The
manuscript then will be sent out for peer review.

Submission of a manuscript implies commitment to publish in the journal. Authors
submitting manuscripts to the journal should not simultaneously submit them to another
journal, nor should manuscripts have been published elsewhere in substantially similar
form or with substantially similar content. Authors in doubt about what constitutes prior
publication should consult the editor.

In general, manuscripts should not exceed 30 typed, double-spaced pages, including
references, tables, and figures. Figures and tables should be included as part of the
manuscript, not as separate files. Five to six keywords, to be used in archival retrieval
systems, should be indicated on the title page. The title page should also include contact
information for the lead author, including affiliation, mailing address, e-mail address, and
phone and fax numbers. Manuscripts should include three- to four-sentence biographical
paragraphs of each author at the bottom of the title page. Following the title page, an
abstract of no more than 120 words should be included. Text and references must
conform to American Psychological Association style, as stated in the Publication
Manual of the American Psychological Assocation (Fifth Edition). Permission for use of
the copyrighted material is the responsibility of the author. All artwork must be camera
ready.
