Notes for intending authors

Submitted manuscripts may be up to about 7500 words including tables and figures, but not including references. An Abstract of 100-200 words and notes About the authors not exceeding 50 words should be submitted with the manuscript.

Your manuscript should be submitted as a Microsoft Word file (or Word compatible) attached to an email addressed to the Editor:

editor@iier.org.au
Email for editor@iier.org.au is forwarded automatically to the current Editor and Associate Editor. After submission, just use "Reply to" upon the last IIER communication to you, in order to address directly the person who is providing editorial support for your submission.

Unless otherwise advised, the Editor will use the email address or addresses submitted with the article as the address or addresses for all correspondence. The Editor will remove authors' names and other identification from the article prior to despatch to reviewers.

Submissions to the journal are expected to be significant and original contributions to educational research. IIER is a generalist journal publishing research topics which are drawn from all sectors of education and may be based upon a wide range of contexts and research methodologies.

Submissions should not have been published elsewhere, nor currently under consideration by another journal. Copyright in individual articles remains with the authors of the articles. Authors are not required to assign copyright to IIER and are required only to grant IIER a non-exclusive licence to publish their work.

Submissions may be formatted according to any commonly used practices. However, please conform to a number of basic rules as described in this paragraph, and use previously published IIER articles as general guides to the style required for headings, paragraphing and other details in presentation. In order to have the best possible portability across different platforms and different versions of MS Word, please use Normal style only. Use single spacing, because almost all editorial and review work is conducted by screen reading without recourse to printing on paper. Do not use footnotes or other layout features which are difficult to convert to HTML for the web version. If using endnotes please do not use your word processor's specific system for doing this, simply indicate their locations in the text and then type in normal text at the end of the paper.

All figures and tables should be included in your Word file, and not in separate graphics or drawing packages. When preparing these, please note that the PDF versions of articles accepted for publication will have a B5 format with a printing area of 201 x 136 mm. Please avoid use of landscape format for wide tables and figures; redesign to fit into portrait orientation.
