Manuscript Specifications
AIID prefers the style format in the Publication Manual of the American
Psychological Association (current edition). Electronic versions should be
submitted in pdf format.
General Appearance
Manuscripts must be submitted electronically in Microsoft Word format.
Manuscripts must be typed in size 12 Times New Roman font of a dark (for
example, black) color and formatted for 8 ˝” by 11” paper double spaced
(including quotations, footnotes, and references) upper and lower case, with
one-inch margins on all sides. Manuscripts must be written in English. AIID
encourages and welcomes international authors whose primary language is not
English to submit manuscripts for review for publication, but to first have
their manuscripts co-authored and checked by an English native language speaker
for grammatical correctness before submission.
Contributors should number pages consecutively, beginning with
the page one following the title page with no author names. Contributors may
list a short title on the top of the pages following the title page.
Contributors should spell out abbreviations and acronyms at first mention unless
they are listed in their shortened form in the current edition of
Merriam-Webster’s collegiate dictionary.
Manuscript Originality
AIID accepts manuscripts from contributors for consideration of publication with
the understanding that the contributor (1) authored the original material and
(2) has not submitted it for publication elsewhere. Contributors whose
manuscripts do not meet these two standards must disclose to AIID why they do
not meet these standards (prior submission not accepted, other pending
submissions with no response, and so forth). Contributor must identify all
authors (see “Blind Review” below).
Blind Review
Contributors must submit their manuscripts in compliance with blind review
standards outlined in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological
Association (current edition).
To comply with APA blind review standards, contributors must
supply complete contact information for all authors on a separate cover
sheet (and no where else in the manuscript) including the following: name,
e-mail address, affiliation, complete mailing address, phone number, and fax
number. Information in the manuscript which might identify any authors must be
deleted, including self-citations, and should be renamed (for example, “author’s
previous work) and may be inserted before publication. Corresponding author
must be indicated.
Additional Formatting
For additional formatting information such as footnotes, references, tables,
figures, illustrations, please refer to the most current edition of the
Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association.
Review Process
The Editor (or their designees) will acknowledge receipt of submitted
manuscripts, usually in the form of an e-mail response. The manuscript will
then be reviewed to determine if it appears to meet the above guidelines. This
stage may take from three to six weeks. If the manuscripts appear to meet the
above guidelines, they will be preliminary reviewed and then forwarded to
reviewers with expertise in the manuscript topic. This stage may take up to
three months, depending upon the complexity of the topic and the schedule of the
reviewers. If the manuscripts pass the expertise review process, then it will
be forwarded on to the Editorial Board. In general, authors should receive a
response from the editors within six months of the submission date. In
compliance with standards of the American Psychological Association, the
International Journal of AIID uses the blind review system and publishes
annually the names of the manuscript reviewers annually.
Grievances
Contributors who believe their manuscripts were not reviewed in a timely or
appropriate manner in accordance with the American Educational Research
Association’s procedures are encouraged to bring the matter to the attention of
the Associate Director or the Director of AIID.
