About the Journal
The Iowa Journal of the Social Studies is a peer-reviewed, electronic journal that provides an outlet for research, best practices, curriculum work, and media reviews in social studies education.
Author Guidelines
Submissions from all social studies disciplines as well as from interdisciplinary perspectives are eligible for publication. Each submission will be refereed using a double-blind peer review process. All submissions should be formatted in Microsoft Word and submitted via email to the editor (dean.vesperman@uwrf.edu).
Manuscripts should be 2,000 to 5,000 words in length, excluding the abstract, references, and endnotes. Articles submitted for the “Teacher Feature” and “Resource Review” sections may be 1,000 to 3,000 words.
The “Teacher Feature” is a shorter article on a classroom lesson or project, or an event held in the classroom, school, or community.
The “Resource Reviews” are for books, films, or a themed collection of digital resources (as opposed to just one website).
Audience
Each issue of IJSS will include work relevant to social studies researchers and educators in K-12 and higher education.
