Author Guidelines

We welcome submissions of scholarly articles and book reviews. Scholarly articles of 4,000-6,000 words (excluding references and other supplementary material) will be considered for publication in the following categories: (1) research reports of empirical studies, typically in qualitative research orientation, (2) literature-based articles advancing theories and scholarship of multicultural education, and (3) praxis articles discussing successful multicultural education programs or instructional strategies. All scholarly articles should be prepared using the IJME (article template) and submitted directly to the journal website.
Professional and juvenile books for review should address general multicultural education themes or specific topics for special issues. Following instructions available from the Call for Professional Book Reviews reviewers should prepare their review of 800-1,500 words using the IJME review template. Authors may submit book reviews through our online system by becoming a registered user. 

For all submissions, authors must complete the submission preparation checklist to ensure their manuscript's compliance with IJME's submission process. If you need help with how to use this online site for submission and accessing information, please go to the USER MANUALS link.
