About the journal
The Journal of Educational & Psychological Consultation (JEPC) provides a forum for improving the scientific understanding of consultation and for describing practical strategies to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of consultation services. Consultation is broadly defined as a process that facilitates problem solving for individuals, groups, and organizations. JEPC publishes articles and special thematic issues that describe formal research, evaluate practice, examine the program implementation process, review relevant literature, investigate systems change, discuss salient issues, and carefully document the translation of theory into practice. Examples of topics of interest include individual, group, and organizational consultation; collaboration; community-school-family partnerships; consultation training; educational reform; ethics and professional issues; health promotion; personnel preparation; preferral interventions; prevention; program planning, implementation, and evaluation; school to work transitions; services coordination; systems change; and teaming. Of interest are manuscripts that address consultation issues relevant to clients of all age groups, from infancy to adulthood. Manuscripts that investigate and examine how culture, language, gender, race, ethnicity, religion, and exceptionality influence the process, content, and outcome of consultation are encouraged. In addition to publishing research and theoretical articles, JEPC publishes three special columns, The Book and Material Reviews Column, The Consultant's Corner, and The Diversity Column.
Instructions to Authors
Guidelines for Authors
JEPC uses an online submission and review system, Editorial Manager, through which authors submit manuscripts and track their progress up until acceptance for publication. Authors will enter pertinent information into the system and submit the following files: (a) Cover letter file, containing any comments to the editor. (b) Manuscript file, containing the entire text of the article, including title page, abstract, all text, references, footnotes, and appendixes. Figures and tables may either be included at the end of this file or submitted separately. (c) Figures and tables, which may be submitted as separate files if desired.
Please log onto http://www.editorialmanager.com/jepc for information and instructions regarding registration and manuscript submission.
Please note that all manuscripts should be complete and comply with the editorial guidelines appearing in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5th ed.). (The manual is available from the APA Order Department, P.O. Box 92984, Washington, DC 20090-2984; tel: 800-374-2721; fax: 202-336-5502; e-mail: order@apa.org; online: www.apa.org/books/) You may find it helpful to consult "Appendix A: Checklist for Manuscript Submission" and "Appendix B: Checklist for Transmitting Accepted Manuscripts for Electronic Production" appearing on pages 379 through 386 of the APA Manual, the contributor information appearing in the journal, and/or the following summary of requirements for acceptable manuscripts. If you have any questions whatsoever, please ask for clarification.
In a cover letter, authors should state that they have complied with APA ethical standards in the treatment of their subjects, and that the manuscript has not been previously published and is not simultaneously being submitted to another journal. A blind review procedure will be used for all submitted manuscripts, and so author names and affiliations should not appear anywhere in the manuscript file. It is the authors' responsibility to make every effort to see that the manuscript itself contains no clue as to their identities.
Typing and Content. Type all components of the manuscript double-spaced, including title page, abstract, text quotes, acknowledgments, references, appendices, tables, figure captions, and footnotes. To enable authors to address their topics comprehensively, manuscripts of up to 35 pages of text (excluding references, tables, and figures) will be considered. Articles for the Book and Material Reviews, Consultant's Corner, and Diversity Columns should be a maximum of 15 double-spaced pages. Authors of empirical treatment studies are asked to include information regarding the quality of the implementation process and about intervention fidelity. Papers describing qualitative investigations should carefully document procedures for data collection and data analyses. Authors are expected to discuss the practical significance of their findings using effect size indicators and/or narrative analyses. Manuscripts must address implications for the practice of consultation by a broad, interdisciplinary audience. The content should be original and should not have been published (in whole or part) in any other journal or source. JEPC will publish one or two guest-edited special issues each year. Special issue information as well as procedures to submit a special issue proposal can be found at www.erlbaum.com.
Guidelines For Special Issues Proposals
JEPC will publish one or two guest-edited special issues each year. Procedures to submit a special issue proposal are below:
Purpose of Special Issues. JEPC special issues provide opportunities to explore special topics within and related to consultation in a cohesive and comprehensive format. The special issue proposal should describe the conceptual framework underlying the articles and the important issues or questions related to the topic under discussion. One of the primary purposes of a special issue is to offer readers of JEPC a means of accessing and thinking about issues that may be occurring in areas important to educational and psychological consultation, but also in related disciplines such as school psychology and special education. The special issue can also serve as a forum for timely discussion of issues that have direct impact on the field of educational and psychological consultation.
Guest Editors. Given that the selection of topics for a special issue rests primarily with the JEPC Editor and Associate Editors, prospective guest editors should consult with the Editor early in the process of developing a special issue. The guest editors will be responsible for the following: submitting the special issue proposal to the Editor, communicating with the Editor about the overall process, coordinating the work of contributing authors, supervising the reviews of submitted papers, summarizing reviewers' comments and sharing those with contributing authors and the Editor, submitting the reviewed/revised papers to the Editor, communicating information from the Editor to contributing authors, and submitting the final product to the Editor.
Submission of Proposal. The proposal for special issues should include the following information a) Introduction. The guest editors and title of the special issue should be identified. This section is an introductory statement that develops a rationale, need, and objective for the special issue. The introduction should clearly refer to the current literature and should provide a clear statement of the conceptual framework for the special issue. The introduction should also indicate the importance and potential impact of the special issue to the practice of educational and psychological consultation. b) Vitae for Guest Editors. Guest editors will submit their vitae as part of the proposal. c) Article Summaries and Author Biographies: A summary of each article should be provided clearly identifying the authors and titles. The summaries should describe the purpose and content of each article. The first article should be an introductory article that provides a description of the special issue and its conceptual basis. The first aritcle will briefly describe the remaining articles in the special issue. Guest editors should limit their contributions to one article beyond the introductory and reaction articles. The description of the articles in the special issue should be brief but contain enough detail to allow reviewers to clearly understand the contents of each article. Research articles should include a description of the introduction, methods, results and discussion sections. Commentaries should also be briefly described. Each article summary is accompanied by a brief biography of each author. d) Reviewers. The guest editors will clearly identify a set of reviewers for each article in the special issue. The names and brief biographies of each reviewer should be included in the proposal. e) Proposal Timelines. The following timelines should be identified: date for submission of special issue proposal, one month for review of proposal by JEPC Editor, author submission of articles to guest editors, review of articles by guest editors and blind reviewers, authors' revisions based on reviews, two months for JEPC review, revisions based on JEPC review, final draft of entire special issue.
A total of 5 copies of the proposal should be sent to: Emilia C. Lopez, Editor; Queens College-CUNY, Educational and Community Programs, 65-30 Kissena Blvd., Flushing, NY 11367, 718-997-5234, E-mail: lopez@cedx.com
