Manuscript Submissions

The Peer Review welcomes submissions that showcase the scholarship of writing center practitioners and emerging scholars. TPR especially welcomes multi-modal submissions, such as those that utilize or combine audio, video, and images in addition to text.

In addition to the topics discussed and examples provided in Issue Zero, we ask that contributors prepare their manuscripts with the following guidelines in mind:

• All research that includes human subjects data will need to be either approved or exempted from your Institutional Review Board (IRB)--research from multiple institutions will need to have a shared IRB approval that includes all authors and their data; learn more here about IRB and check with your home institution for further confirmation/approval before submitting a manuscript for review. 
• Use APA 7th edition for formatting and references.
• Limit headers to no more than three levels.
• Prepare and submit print text using Microsoft Word
• Use Times New Roman and size 12 point font (for now)
• Ensure the manuscript is fully deidentified
• There is no word limit, though most articles are between 6k and 9k words, and conversation shapers are around 3k - 5k words, including references
• All tables, figures, images need alt. text, read more in our accessibility guide
• Make sure the entire project follows the accessibility guide

In order to facilitate the review process, please include images within the body of the document that you upload for review. For audio or video submissions, please include the URL where your submission is temporarily housed (such as a YouTube or university web server address) so that it can be reviewed. (After acceptance, the editors will work with you to provide your accepted submission in a format that can be housed directly within the site.) All fields are required.
