General Requirements

All manuscripts should indicate the type of article—Feature, Commentary, Tools of the Profession/Book Review—on the title page of the manuscript. Manuscripts cannot be published or be under current consideration for publication by another journal. The Journal follows the standards set forth in the latest Publication Manual of the American Psychology Association (APA 6th edition). The Journal of International Agricultural and Extension Education is a publication of the Association for International Agricultural and Extension Education (AIAEE). The following general requirements must be followed for all manuscript submissions:

  1. Type Style:
    1. Use Times New Roman font for all text in the manuscript.
    2. Use 12-point type for all text in the manuscript.
  2. Margins and Tabs:
    1. Use 1.00 inch margins on all sides.
    2. Do not reset the default tab settings in your manuscript.
  3. Document Spacing:
    1. Use double-spacing throughout entire manuscript, except:
      1. Do not double-space between paragraphs.
      2. Do not double-space tables.
    2. Do not reset the default line space settings (before and after each line) in your manuscript.
  4. Material:
    1. Number all pages (use Letter size paper, 8.5 x 11 inches, for all copy) after the title page. NO LANDSCAPE formatting for any text or Tables.
    2. Create Line Numbers for each page (see Line Numbering file for specific instructions).
    3. Prepare all copy flush left; do not use full justification; use left justification only.
    4. Use one space after periods or any punctuation that separates two sentences.
    5. Do not use all capital letters.
    6. Indent the first line of each paragraph; use the indent function for citations of >40 words.
    7. Use the Tables feature rather than using tabs or spacing to align data.
    8. Use hard returns only at the end of a paragraph or other places where lines of copy are broken in the manuscript (such as after each line in a heading or subheading).
    9. Limit the use of numerical and/or bulleted lists in the manuscript; lists detract from overall readability and diminish the “scholarly writing” normally expected in the JIAEE. Use a single tab (do not use indent) between numbers/bullets and typed material.
    10. Follow the APA Publication Manual (6th ed.) for all citations in text and reference list. It is the author’s responsibility to insure strict adherence to APA.

  6. Boldface and Headings:
    1. Use Bold and Center for all major headings (first letter caps only for each word).
    2. Use Italics for subheadings (second level).
    3. Use one tab (one-half inch) and Italics for sub-subheadings (third level); continue paragraph on the same line.
  7. Notes:
    1. Do not use the footnote function; Do not use endnotes.
    2. Textual material should be explained fully in the body; footnotes/endnotes are unnecessary.
