2. Types of Submission
Persons may submit a variety of materials for publication in JRST. However, manuscripts currently under consideration by other journals may not be submitted to JRST.
Manuscripts can assume (but are not limited to) the following forms:
Articles. Many types of scholarly manuscripts about research on science teaching and learning are within JRST's domain, including, but not limited to: investigations employing experimental, qualitative, ethnographic, historical, survey, philosophical, or case study research approaches; position papers; policy perspectives; and critical reviews of the literature.
Authors should discuss the importance of the study for science teaching and learning. They should provide a link between the problem and the study design. They should also establish a relationship between the study and previous work. The guiding theoretical framework should be explained and justified. Methodology should be reported in a concise manner.
If used, data tables should be easy to read, complete, and add to the understanding of the study. Quotations from various sources should be used to support the author's assertions. These quotes should be adequately referenced. The implications should be clearly presented.
The article should be easy to follow. The genre chosen (e.g., expository, narrative) should be appropriate for the study. The writing style should be concise and arguments clear.
Comments and Criticism. These should contain expressions of opinion or information relating to articles published previously or to matters of interest to science educators. This section of JRST will be the forum where the readers may express any reasonable view on any relevant matter. Submissions for ‘‘Comments and Criticism’’ should not typically exceed 1000 words (including references). A copyright transfer agreement is required; however, an abstract is not. All other instructions for submitting a manuscript apply here and should be followed accordingly.
3. Author Anonymity
JRST employs an anonymous review policy (i.e., masked review). Therefore, the author's (authors name(s) and affiliation should appear on a separate cover page, and only on this page, to ensure anonymity in the review process. If it is necessary for authors to cite their own work, the word "author" should be inserted in the text to maintain anonymity. Guidelines are listed below:
Citations in Text: Author (date) states
Citations in Reference List: Author (date). Journal Title. (Please do not include the title of the article or its volume and page number information.)
4. Manuscript Style
Manuscripts submitted to JRST should be prepared according to the style prescribed by the fifth edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (American Psychological Association, 2001). Follow the Manual explicitly with regard to (a) the content and organization of the manuscript; (b) writing style, grammar, and use of nonsexist language; and (c) punctuation, spelling, capitalization, use of italics, abbreviations, headings, quotations, tables, figures, references cited in the text, and the reference list.

Wiley's Journal Styles Are Now in EndNote
EndNote is a software product that we recommend to our journal authors to help simplify and streamline the research process. Using EndNote’s bibliographic management tools, you can search bibliographic databases, build and organize your reference collection, and then instantly output your bibliography in anyWiley journal style. To download the reference style for this journal, or to purchase a copy of EndNote, go to the following URL: www.interscience.wiley.com/jendnotes
Technical Support: If you need assistance using EndNote, contact endnote@isiresearchsoft.com, or visit www.endnote.com/support.
References should follow the APA style, but without the use of italic type. Examples follow:

5. Manuscript Form
Manuscripts should be typed or computer-generated printed (no matrix dot printers, please), and double-spaced (including quotations, footnotes, and references) on standard 8-1/2 ×11 paper, with ample margins. Typical page length is between 15 and 40 pages, but JRST will publish longer manuscripts of important and ground-breaking research.
Include a separate cover page that states the title of the manuscript; names of all authors; contact author's phone and fax information; and current mailing and e-mail addresses for all authors. To ensure author anonymity, this is the only place in the manuscript where author's (authors') mane information should appear. (See guidelines for author anonymity.)
All manuscript pages, including tables and figures, must contain a page number and an identifying phrase (running head) as per APA style.
Submitted manuscripts should contain copies of tables and figures. Originals are needed only at the time of final processing of accepted manuscripts. Please do not embed tables and figures in the text, but submit each item on a separate page as per APA recommendations.
All color figures will be reproduced in full color in the online edition of the journal at no cost to authors. Authors are requested to pay the cost of reproducing color figures in print. Authors are encouraged to submit color illustrations that highlight the text and convey essential scientific information. For best reproduction, bright, clear colors should be used. Dark colors against a dark background do not reproduce well; please place your color images against a white background wherever possible. Please contact Alyson Linefsky at 201-748-6723/alinefsk@wiley.com for further information.

6. Submitting a Manuscript
If authors are unable to submit online (prior approval from the JRST Editorial Office is required), manuscripts must be submitted as follows:
(a) A cover letter indicating to whom all correspondence should be forwarded. Please provide a complete surface or air mail address, including mail codes and country designator. Also, include your e-mail address, telephone number and/or facsimile number.
(b) Six copies of the manuscript, including a 100?00 word abstract. Laser-quality print is preferred.
(c) Two self-addressed, stamped envelopes (does not apply to international contributors).
(d) A signed copy of the Copyright Transfer Agreement (permission granted to copy the agreement from the back of the Journal. The agreement may also be accessed from the JRST website at: http://www.interscience.wiley.com/jpages/0022-4308/).
(e) A biographical resume of all authors (including name, position, office address, degrees, and institutions).
Authors should retain original figures, tables, and artwork. These will be requested if the manuscript is accepted for publication.
Mail all submissions to the JRST editor at the editorial office. The author will receive notification of the receipt of a submission within 2 weeks.
7. The Review Process
Articles submitted to JRST are reviewed anonymously (masked review) by two to three reviewers (one always is an editorial board member). A tracking editor is selected from among the associate editors. The tracking editor and at least one of the reviewers possess expertise in the domain of the manuscript. All manuscripts are evaluated for their significance to science education and on their technical quality for the type of scholarship represented. All submissions are acted upon as quickly as possible. The review process normally takes approximately 16-20 weeks.
8. Acceptance and Publication
Manuscripts accepted for publication are published in about one year. The author will receive galley proofs of the article to read and correct. The author will receive 25 reprints of the article at the time the article is published. Additional reprints can be ordered and purchased directly from the publisher by filling out the form attached to the galley proof. Under the provisions of the U.S. copyright law, the transfer of the copyright from author to the publisher, heretofore implicit in the submission of a manuscript, must now be explicitly transferred to enable the publisher to publish and disseminate the author's work to the fullest extent.
