Submitting a Manuscript
Instructions for Contributors
New and returning authors can submit directly through the IMRJ link to OJS at http://imrj.asu.edu/ojs/index.php/imrj/login or by sending your manuscript to imrjlist@asu.edu in .doc, .rtf or .pdf format.
Guidelines for Submitting Articles
Manuscripts should be double-spaced–including title page, text, tables, charts, references, notes, and appendixes–and must adhere to the guidelines of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5th ed.). The first page should include the title, name(s) and affiliation(s) of author(s), and full contact addresses for correspondence (including e-mail). The second page should include the title (but no author identification), an abstract of not more than 150 words, a list of up to 6 key words, and a word count. Use either American or British spelling consistently within an article. Manuscripts must be single-sided, typed on 8-1/2" x 11" or A4 paper and should normally be 6,500-8,500 words (including references, notes, and tables). Minimize the number of notes. Tables and figures should be placed after the references, each on a separate page. Mark in the text where they occur. Camera-ready copy is required for publication of figures.
Please contact the book review editor to inquire about undertaking a review; unsolicited reviews will not be accepted. Book reviews should be between 1,500 and 2,000 words. Guidelines are the same as for articles.
Only original work not previously published and not currently under review elsewhere will be considered. Contributions should be in English and will be reviewed anonymously.
Guidelines for Submitting Research Notes
Research Notes deal with important issues of method and/or theory, which may include evaluations or critiques of research methodologies or theoretical models. Articles for Research Notes should be 3,000-4,000 words in length. They may be submitted electronically (as e-mail attachments in Word or .rtf format) to the Editors at IMRJlist@asu.edu.
Guidelines for Submitting Articles to Perspectives
The International Multilingualism Research Journal invites discussion pieces on current issues on any of the topics within IMRJ's editorial scope. It also welcomes responses or rebuttals to articles or reviews published in the journal. Perspectives should generally not exceed 3,000 words, and may be sent electronically (as e-mail attachments in Word or .rtf format) to the Editors at IMRJlist@asu.edu.
