Author Guidelines For Addiction Educator*

Articles submitted to Addiction Educator should focus on teaching in the addiction studies. Therefore, articles can address teaching methods, techniques, strategies, approaches, systems, etc.

Articles selected for publication will be posted on the Addiction Educator website.   The article then becomes property of INCASE (International Coalition of Addiction Studies Education). Authors will be asked to sign a release verifying that their article is now property of INCASE.

Manuscript Preparation

Feature article submissions generally range from about 1,200 to about 2,000 words in length, with column submissions generally ranging from 700 to 1,200 words. Letters to the editor should be no longer than 300 words

Please do NOT imbed tables, figures, or other illustrations within the text of your article (see "Graphic Elements" guidelines below).

Manuscript Submission

Submit articles electronically to msmith@keene.edu. Please send the file as an attachment saved in Microsoft Word. Include at the bottom of the article file a "bio" of two to three sentences for each author, along with the e-mail address of the lead author. We publish the e-mail addresses of our authors so that readers may have the opportunity to offer authors direct feedback on the article.

In your e-mail message with the article attachment, be sure to include your mailing address, phone and fax numbers, and e-mail address so that we may contact you during the editing process.

Graphic Elements

If photos, tables, or other graphics are sent electronically, each should be sent as a separate file from the article file. Figures and photos MUST be saved in a high-resolution (minimum 300 DPI) TIFF or EPS format to ensure publication-quality images.

If you cannot send your graphics electronically, you may send hard copies suitable for scanning, such as original photographs, photograph-quality prints (especially for color illustrations) and high-resolution computer printouts (for black and white figures and graphs only).

All photographs should be identified with a suggested caption. The captions should include the names of people shown and the location of the shot, if pertinent. If a photograph is copyrighted, the photographer or photography firm's name also must be included so that we can give proper credit. It is the author's responsibility to secure appropriate consents from people shown in photographs, and permission to reprint copyrighted photos. If you wish to have photographs returned, request this in your cover letter and include the proper return address.

Tables should be double-spaced and numbered consecutively in the order in which they are mentioned in the text of the article. Provide a brief title for each. Figures or graphs also should be numbered consecutively in the order in which they are mentioned in the article.

References

A list of references or a bibliography may be included, using standard APA.
