Pedagogy
and the human sciences
PHS accepts multiple types of submissions. We seek submissions, however, that are organized around a clearly articulated
theoretical framework. Although we prize submissions founded upon solid theory, deliberately esoteric writing should be
avoided. Attempts should be made to ground theoretical elaboration in some form of evidence or example, however broadly
defined.
Conceptual pieces that elaborate a theoretical model or conceptual framework related to some issue related to pedagogy and
the human sciences.
Empirical articles building upon quantitative or qualitative data, as long as the research reported is organized with reference to a
solid conceptual superstructure.
Brief Reports (3000 words or fewer) which contain well articulated positions on particular issues related to the theme of the
journal, short empirical articles, or particular teaching strategies founded upon an articulated theoretical framework.
Replies and Commentaries contain reader responses to papers that are published in PHS. Readers are invited to comment on
any and all papers that appear in PHS. Commentaries should generally be shorter in length than a brief report, but should
nonetheless be treated as a scholarly piece of writing. Replies and Commentaries will be reviewed by the journal editors. A link
to all accepted commentaries will be provided below the link to the paper or report upon which the commentary is based.
Manuscripts may be of any length, all submissions must be clear and concise. Manuscripts must be submitted via email in a
single Microsoft Word attachment. All manuscripts must be submitted in APA format. Please avoid submitting papers as
multiple files.
Please submit all illustrations, figures, images or other graphics in BMP, JPEG or GIF format. Please indicate where you would
prefer to have the image located in the text as well as any special formatting preferences.
Please send manuscripts to Michael.Mascolo@Merrimack.edu. Please indicate PHS in the subject line of your email.
