Author Guidelines

Critical Education accepts for review manuscripts that are between 4,000 and 8,000 words in length.

Manuscripts are accepted for review via the journal's web site as a Word or RTF document.

Manuscripts should be original, unpublished, and not under review by another journal or publisher.

The text of the article should be single-spaced; use a 12-point font; employ italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables should be placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end. Please do not include any headers or footers in your document.

References and in-text citiations should be prepared according to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 5th Edition, 2001.

Critical Education has an international readership, so please avoid the use of terms that might be meaningful only to a local or national audience, or provide a clear explanation where this is unavoidable.

Submissions should include a 150 word abstract.

Images should be supplied as JPEG with a minimum resolution of 300 DPI.
