=Submitting an Article For Publication=

Writing your Article
Begin conducting research or implement your activity. Be sure to take photos if you are doing an activity and include relevant charts, graphs, or equations, if applicable. //**Include safety information if you feature an activity.**// Depending on your choice of journal, refer to the appropriate state or national educational standards. Proofread your article! Have a few other people review it as well, preferably. Once you have finished your modifications, submit it to the journal of your choice. (You may usually submit an article to only ONE journal; if they accept it for publication, they may not allow you to submit it to other journals.)

Peer Review
Be patient. After submission, it may take up to six months to hear anything back from the peer review. The journal will send the article off to four or five peer reviewers who will read the article and give feedback. Make note of their suggestions and fix anything wrong with the article and prepare for resubmission. You may be asked to make further modifications if the journal feels another peer review is necessary.
