Instructions to Authors
Submission Types
Articles for either RT or JAAL should
 Be related to practice, research, and/or theory
Be original and not previously published
Have a clear purpose, discuss the topic in some depth, and be written in a straightforward style
Not exceed 20 double-spaced pages (approximately 6,000 words)
In addition, The Reading Teacher seeks submissions for its Teaching Tips feature. These should be no more than six double-spaced pages, and have a single focus with explicit classroom application. Brief annotated bibliographies of resources on a particular topic (no more than 500 words) may also be considered. For JAAL, submissions for the First Person department should be no more than six to ten pages (1,500 to 2,500 words).
Preparing Your Submission
All submissions must be available as an electronic file for example, a word-processed document prepared with any common software package. When naming your files please use simple filenames and include the three-letter file extension (e.g., .doc, .rtf, .eps, .jpg, .tif). Submissions must follow APA style, as outlined in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5th ed.).
The manuscript should be double-spaced throughout, including quotations and references, and should not include footnotes. You are required to submit a brief abstract or summary, not exceeding 200 words.
References must be prepared in strict adherence to APA style. Authors should not cite or reference themselves by name but instead use only the word author followed by the publication date, with no coauthor names or publication titles. Alphabetize such references under the letter A.
Include tables or figures only if they simplify or clarify the presentation, and limit their number. Prepare figures and graphics using applications capable of generating high-resolution files (e.g., .tif, .eps, .jpg). Do not embed figures and tables within your text, but rather, upload them as separate files (see instructions below).
Permission must be obtained to use any material from another copyrighted source, whether published or unpublished. Releases must also be obtained for use of any person’s work or likeness. Refer to the copyright information for more details on requirements.
Submitting Your Manuscript
Manuscripts should be submitted through IRA‘s Manuscript Central online submission site. Proceed as follows:
Go to the Manuscript Central submission site (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ira).
Create your account, or log in if you already have an account. Use the drop down menu to select the IRA publication to which you wish to submit. Click the “Author Center” link.
Click the Blue star, or the Submit a Manuscript link found in the upper left menu bar. Then fill in the required fields and follow the instructions of how to complete the submission process. The Manuscript Central site requires that you first prepare your manuscript files (Word files, graphic files, image files, etc.), and then upload them as part of the submission process. There are instructions posted on each page of the site to help you through the process. IRA runs a double-blinded peer review process, so you will be required to upload a Main Document, and a Blinded Copy that masks the identities of all authors.
Decisions
Authors are generally notified of a decision within three months of receipt of submission. Articles are judged primarily for their contribution to the field, usefulness to teachers or researchers, timeliness, freshness of approach, and clarity and cohesiveness of presentation. Selection also depends on editorial determination of overall balance of content in the journal.
