CALL FOR MANUSCRIPTS

Beginning March 1, 2001, the new editors of the Journal of Literacy Research invite submissions for possible publication in the journal. Reports on original literacy research, reviews of research, conceptual analyses, and essays from all theoretical perspectives and research paradigms that affect literacy are encouraged.

In addition to papers of lengths normally found in past issues of JLR, the new editors will also consider more concise papers on research of a limited scope or nature. The new editors hope to encourage and support new ideas and approaches to literacy scholarship that may provide tentative inroads into innovative content or methods through "Research Briefs."

Potential authors are encouraged to examine previous issues of JLR for topics and style of presentation. Papers submitted for publication should conform to the fourth edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association. Submissions should include a cover letter and six copies of the manuscript with all references to the authors deleted, except for the title page. The title page should include name, address, phone number, fax, and e-mail address of the first (or contact) author. Authors should also include two self-addressed stamped envelopes for acknowledgement of receipt of the article and for return of manuscript reviews. Submissions should be made to:

Dr.Wayne Linek, Co-editor
