Manuscript Submissions
The Educational Forum
We welcome your submissions to The Educational Forum. Please use the information on this page to guide you as you prepare your article for submission.

All manuscripts submitted should be original material and not previously published, nor should they be submitted simultaneously elsewhere for publication. Authors are responsible for making sure all quotations are accurate, obtaining permission to reproduce copyrighted material from other sources, and providing an agreement to assign all rights to copyright to Kappa Delta Pi.


Prepare Your Submission
Before submitting your article to The Educational Forum, please
• Include an abstract of no more than 75 words at the beginning of your article
• Create a separate file for your cover page, including your name, affiliation, preferred mailing address, and e-mail address. Please include contact information for all participating authors, and designate one person as the corresponding author.
• Remove all author identifying information (name, university, e-mail address) to ensure anonymity in the review process.
• Use a double-spaced, 8.5x11” document format with consecutively numbered pages.
• Review our submission guidelines by clicking here. Refer to The Chicago Manual of Style, 15th edition, for further formatting guidelines.

If you have questions regarding submission, please e-mail Kathy Murray, managing editor, at kathy@kdp.org.
