Instructions to Authors
Topics in Language Disorders has as its major purposes: (1) bringing together professionals who have a clinical interest in language acquisition and its disorders, transcending disciplinary concerns; (2) clarifying the application of theory to practice in the treatment, rehabilitation, and education of language disordered individuals; and (3) providing relevant information to practicing professionals dealing with language disabilities and differences.
In pursuit of these purposes, TLD publishes in-depth topical issues. The areas explored are of particular importance to higher education faculty, graduate students, and professionals in health and education, including speech-language pathologists, special educators, learning disability specialists, psychologists, and psycholinguists, as well as others concerned with language and its disorders. Research, as applied to professional practice, is emphasized.
Language is not an isolated phenomenon, but rather is a crucial element contributing to and affecting all communicative phases of the life and learning of each individual. Within this holistic framework, the journal addresses the issues and concerns of those who provide services to language-impaired individuals. TLD presents both the scientific rationale and the application of that rationale to the delivery of language services. TLD makes a unique contribution by melding research and practice into a meaningful whole, to be not only read but also used by professionals practicing in the field.
Topics for forthcoming issues are listed on the back cover of the journal. Interested authors may submit articles for consideration by the Editorial Board.
Continuing Education Questions
TLD offers ASHA-approved continuing education credits. After an article is accepted for publication in its final form, authors should submit at least five questions pertaining to their manuscripts with four choices each (i.e., A, B, C, or D). The correct answer should be marked, and the page of the final manuscript where it appears should be cited below the question and response choices (do not use all or none the above as choices). Expert consultants employed by Lippincott, Williams, and Wilkins will review these questions and response choices. Issue Editors will have an opportunity to review any suggested revisions and consult with authors regarding further edits.
Submitting Papers
In most cases, TLD publishes articles invited by issue editors to address a particular topic. Unsolicited manuscripts also are accepted. Acceptance or rejection of any article is based on a double-blind peer review process. Authors are encouraged to submit articles that address the issues and concerns of those who provide services to individuals with language disorders, presenting both the scientific rationale and the application of that rationale to the delivery of language services.
One copy of any solicited or unsolicited manuscripts and correspondence regarding publication should be addressed to Katharine G. Butler, Ph.D., Editor, Topics in Language Disorders, 10551 Hidden Mesa Place, Monterey CA 93940, Telephone 831-655-5629. Simultaneously, a copy should be submitted electronically as a document attachment to Nickola Wolf Nelson, Ph.D., Associate Editor, at the email address nickola.nelson@wmich.edu, Telephone 269-387-8058, Department of Speech Pathology and Audiology, Western Michigan University. Solicited manuscripts also should be submitted simultaneously to the Issue Editor who solicited them. At the point of acceptance of the article for publication (communicated via email by the Associate Editor to the corresponding author), supporting documentation forms with original signatures should be submitted to the Issue Editor, who will collect them, along with hard copies of the final manuscripts, continuing education questions, and any figures, and forward them to the publisher, as requested by the copy editor.

If it is a research article, prepare a structured abstract describing (1) what was observed or investigated, (2) the subjects and methods, and (3) the results and conclusions. Also include approximately 5 key words (alphabetized) that describe the contents of the article to support easy and accurate data base retrieval.

Illustrations
Figures should be created using electronic software (i.e., Adobe Illustrator? Adobe Photoshop? or Quark Xpress?. Please save files in both the application in which they were created (i.e., Microsoft Word) and as either EPS or TIFF files. Use computer-generated lettering. Do not use screens, color, shading, or fine lines. Electronic art must be submitted at high resolution (300 dpi or higher). Do not embed art in your text file. Please also provide hard copy printouts of electronic art with the final hard copy of the ms submitted to the Issue Editor.
In lieu of original drawings and other material, a sharp, glossy, black-and-white photographic print between 5" x 7" and 8" x 10" is acceptable.
Each figure should have a label on the back indicating the number of the figure, the names of the authors, and the top of the figure. Do not write on the back of figures, mount them on cardboard, or scratch or mar them using paper clips. Do not bend figures.
Cite each figure in the text in consecutive order. If a figure has been previously published, in part or in total, acknowledge the original source and submit written permission from the copyright holder to reproduce or adapt the material. Include a source line. Type "Source: Author" on figures that you created. This will help Lippincott Williams & Wilkins identify the status of each figure.
Supply a caption for each figure, typed double-spaced on a sheet separate from the artwork. Captions should include the figure title, explanatory statements, notes, or keys; and source and permission lines.
Tables
Tables should be on a separate page at the end of the manuscript and be formatted according to APA (5th ed.).
