educational and research materials relevant to the subject of energy assistance.

Manuscript Preparation
Submission of articles and manuscripts
consistent with the objectives of the Journal of Energy Assistance are
welcome. In the preparation of any submission to the Journal, please
carefully consider the following:
-
Manuscripts should be prepared in Associated Press style.
refer to the AP Stylebook 2001. A copy may be purchased from The Associated Press, 50 Rockefeller Plaza,
New York, NY 10020.
-
Manuscripts should be submitted either via e-mail
(preferred format: MSWord) or on
CD-ROM to the Journal editor.
-
It is expected that most manuscripts will need some
revision or enhancement following
the Journal’s review process. The final draft of a revised manuscript
should be resubmitted to the editor by e-mail or on disk.
-
Original work is preferred, although the Journal
will consider the use of previously
published work provided the author secures permission from the initial publisher
for the Journal to reproduce copyright material. Please do not
submit manuscripts that are under consideration elsewhere. Quoting from
other sources is permissible,
but only if carefully documented and referenced.
-
Article length is flexible. While submissions of 750-1,000 words are the
ideal length, there are times when a lengthier article is necessary to do
justice to the subject matter. Since the full article will be presented in
Adobe Acrobat PDF format, the primary consideration is not total word count
but producing a document that will keep the reader's attention.
-
The authors, not the Journal, are responsible for the
views and conclusions of published manuscripts.
-
The editor and editorial board have broad latitude in
editing and deciding whether to publish articles, manuscripts and feedback
on previously published material. Issues of relevancy, quality of
writing and adherence to the guidelines for preparation are critical.
Manuscript that are not published will be returned to the authors. Manuscripts may be returned without
comment, especially if no peer review is involved.
