CALL for Submission of Papers for Volume 7—to be published Feb. 2016

The NJRP focuses on bilingual education, dual language education, English as a second language (ESL) teaching and learning. The journal encourages publications by junior authors and also disseminates the outstanding work of expert authors. The NJRP also encourages collaborative submissions between faculty mentors and graduate students as well as from K-12 educators and school administrators. The scope of this journal is the application of research to address educational issues, as well as to provide a forum for the discussion of important topics in the form of position papers, reflections and classroom-based research. We also welcome articles in Spanish and Mandarin languages in order to connect with bilingual audiences throughout the United States and beyond. The NJRP is fortunate to have over 90 external reviewers who are experts in their fields and are affiliated with top Universities in the United States and abroad.

The Journal invites publications in multidisciplinary fields as they pertain to the education of culturally-diverse students. These may include curriculum and instruction, teacher- professional development, early childhood education, multicultural education, dual-language education, cognitive processes, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, teaching strategies, and English learner assessment. The scope of papers includes topics related to the education of young children through adulthood, spanning from Pre-K through Grade 12 and from young to older adults in ESL and bilingual settings.  

The NJRP has four sections:

Section I includes position papers. 

Section II addresses data-based research articles.

Section III includes classroom-based research and instructional strategies, and

Section IV includes articles written in Spanish and Mandarin.

All papers should be 30 pages or less and they must follow the American Psychological Association (APA) Manual of Style 6^th edition. The submissions should be original and should not have been submitted to any other journal for publication consideration. The Deadline for submissions is July 31st, 2015. Please send your submissions to the journal web: https://www2.nau.edu/nabej-p/ojs/index.php/njrp/index

Peer Review Process and Timeline: The peer review process includes a blind review. The NJRP has a large pool of external reviewers and expert scholars who provide the authors with constructive and timely feedback.  The review process is fairly fast. It usually takes external reviewers between 4-6 weeks to provide you with feedback. We strongly suggest to you to visit the NJRP website fairly often in order to find out the status of your article submission. You can also contact our Editorial Assistant, Xin Wang at:  xw37@nau.edu

The NJRP is published once a year in February to coincide with the NABE annual conference.

Sincerely,

The NJRP Editorial Team
