THE NEW MEXICO JOURNAL OF READING
THE NEW MEXICO JOURNAL OF READING (NMJOR) is a peer-reviewed journal published primarily for classroom teachers, reading teachers, reading specialists, interested parents, university instructors and school administrators.
The NMJOR is an open forum for all types of articles about reading for all ages of people. Manuscripts dealing with issues, events, and research related to reading are welcome. Technical articles, research reports, and dissertations must be rewritten in a style and readability to interest our general readership.
Articles should range in length from four to ten double-spaced typewritten pages. The articles will be judged by their originality, relevance and current interest. Articles submitted to the editor for review should not be simultaneously submitted to other reading periodicals. If rejected, original copies of articles will be returned if accompanied by a self-addressed, stamped envelope. All articles published in the NMJOR become the property of the state reading council. Authors will receive two complimentary copies of the Journal in which their articles appear.
Preparation of the Manuscript
IDENTIFICATION
Prepare a cover sheet that gives only the title of the article, the author’s full name, and the return address including the author's email address. The title and the appropriate page numbers should be on all the other pages. Thus, the article is anonymous while it is being evaluated by the editorial board.
NUMBER OF COPIES: Authors are encouraged to submit manuscripts to the email address listed. If manuscripts are sent by mail, three copies of the article should be submitted to the editor. Always keep a copy of your article for your records.
FORMAT
Typing should be double- spaced, including references and footnotes. Quotations should be double-spaced and indented five spaces from the left margin. Allow margins of at least one and one-half inches on all four sides of every page.
STYLE OF WRITING
Third-person writing is preferred to the first-person informal style. A writer should carefully avoid use of generic masculine gender for both sexes. Avoid stereotyping on the basis of sex, race, ethnic group, religion, or any other characteristic that makes generalizations.
BIBLIOGRAPHIC DATA
All references must be fully footnoted. In the body of your manuscript give only the author’s last name and the year of the publication being cited.
