All submitted manuscripts should be prepared in accordance with the guidelines outlined in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th Edition). Authors' manuscript submission certifies that none of the contents are copyrighted, published, accepted for publication by another journal, under review by another journal, or submitted to another journal while under review by the Journal of the Professoriate. All manuscripts should be submitted via the online submission process (see link below) and typed in Times New Roman (12 pt.), double-spaced on 8½ x 11 size paper and accompanied by an abstract that does not exceed 120 words. To protect anonymity during the review process, the title page should be the only place in the manuscript that includes the author(s) name(s) and institutional affiliation(s). All other identifying references and notes should be removed from the manuscript before it is submitted for publication consideration. Submitted manuscripts should not exceed 7,500 words. The manuscript review process takes 2-3 months.
The Journal of the Professoriate does not allow the use of footnotes or endnotes. References should be listed alphabetically by author at the end of the manuscript and referred to in the body of the text in accordance with the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th Edition). If the manuscript is accepted for publication, the author(s) will be asked to submit a copy of the final post-review version of the manuscript.
Manuscripts accepted for publication are subject to copyediting. Manuscript submission indicates the author’s commitment to publish in the Journal of the Professoriate and to give the journal first publication rights. No manuscript known to be under consideration by another journal will be reviewed. Upon publication, the Center for African American Research and Policy owns all rights including subsidiary rights. Our policy is to require the assignment of copyright on all published manuscripts. We understand that in return for publication, the journal has the nonexclusive rights to publish the contribution and the continuing unlimited right to include the contribution as part of any issue and/or volume reprint of the journal in which the contribution first appeared by any means and in any format.
