Article-Length Studies: Article-length studies, which should present the results of research, are usually 15 to 35 typewritten, double-spaced pages although longer articles will be considered. Reports of empirical research should include details of the research design and methodology, either in the text or in an appendix. Approaches and Practices: Approaches and practices are short pieces—5 to 15 typewritten, double-spaced pages—published in a section of the journal devoted to pedagogical tips and industrial how-to's. Commentaries: Commentaries—which may range from 5 to 10 typewritten, double-spaced pages—are opinion pieces addressing issues of importance to the profession. Book and Software Reviews: Book and software reviews critically examine recent additions to the book and software market. Software reviews should include the tasks for which the software was developed, the types of tests reviewers conducted, and the results. Both book and software reviews may range from five to eight typewritten, double-spaced pages. Comments and Responses: Comments and responses are exchanges between readers and authors about pieces that have appeared in JBTC. These submissions should not exceed six typewritten, double-spaced pages. Manuscript Preparation The title of the manuscript, the name(s) of the author(s), and the affiliation(s) of the author(s) should appear on a separate cover sheet and not on the first page of the manuscript. (If you employ a subtitle, do not use a colon after the main title; place the subtitle on a separate line below the main title.) Any acknowledgments should be located at the bottom of the cover sheet. Also submit, on a separate page, an autobiographical note of about 40 words. A 100-word abstract, located on a separate page, should accompany all article-length studies and approaches and practices. Documentation should conform to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 5th ed. (APA) (2001) and should be placed on a page labeled "References" at the end of the manuscript. Substantive footnotes should be incorporated in the text whenever possible. Place all tables and figures on separate pages. Indicate where figures or tables should be inserted in the text by typing on a separate line—in all capital letters—INSERT TABLE/FIGURE ABOUT HERE after the paragraph where the table/figure is first mentioned. Everything in the manuscript, including cover page, abstract, autobiographical note, indented quotations, notes, and references, should be double-spaced. Employ the same point size and the same font style throughout the manuscript, and leave the right margin unjustified. In addition, do not end lines with a hyphen. Authors are responsible for submitting all visuals for accepted manuscripts in camera-ready copy suitable for publication. (Specifications for preparing visuals will be furnished on acceptance.) Authors are responsible for obtaining the necessary permissions and for the accuracy of all references, figures, and tables. We encourage online manuscript submissions. Manuscripts may be sent as e-mail attachments to engljbtc@iastate.edu. However, if you prefer to send hard copy, please mail submissions in triplicate to David R. Russell, Editor, JBTC, 203 Ross Hall, Iowa State University, Ames, IA 50011. Include a self-addressed manila envelope with unattached postage sufficient to cover three first-class mailings of the manuscript. All article-length studies, approaches and practices, and commentaries are refereed, and readers' reports are routinely provided to authors. This review process takes approximately three months. At least one round of revision is common for accepted manuscripts. Submission of a manuscript implies commitment to publish in the journal. Authors submitting manuscripts to the journal should not simultaneously submit them to another journal, nor should manuscripts have been published elsewhere in substantially similar form or with substantially similar content. Authors in doubt about what constitutes prior publication should consult the editor.
