AES members and people involved in the practice, study
or teaching of evaluation are invited to submit papers,
practice articles and book reviews for publication. Before
submitting, contributors are advised to consult the full
guidelines set out on the AES website: www.aes.asn.au.
Decisions regarding publications are made on the basis
of assessment by the editors, with advice from expert
reviewers in a relevant field. All article submissions to
the EJA are sent for formal double blind peer review.
There is no predetermined ‘house style’ for EJA. Authors
are encouraged to give expression to their own individual
voice, provided it meets generally accepted standards of
clear, accurate and literate English usage. The principles
set out in the Style Manual for Authors, Editors and
Printers (sixth edition) should be used as a general guide
to usage. Citations should follow the APA style (i.e.
author, date).
Authors are asked to write their articles in a way that
foregrounds the most significant and interesting features
of their content, avoiding unfamiliar technical language,
extensive data tables and mathematical notation, except
to the extent that these are necessary to convey the
argument. Articles should be arranged in a way that
facilitates comprehension by non-specialists, for example
by using text boxes for background information and
aspects of detail that are not central to the exposition.
References should be kept to the minimum required for
understanding the text or following up sources specifically
quoted or discussed in the article.
The editors reserve the right to correct obvious errors
in spelling, vocabulary and grammar without reference
to the author. Any further more extensive corrections
or modifications that the editors and/or peer reviewers
consider desirable will be discussed and explicitly
cleared with the author before being incorporated in the
published text.
Individual contributions should not normally exceed
a published length of 10 pages, including all tables,
graphics, notes and references. The editors reserve the
right to edit longer articles down to this length if space
considerations require. Articles shorter than 3000 words
will not generally be regarded as suitable for peer review.
Copyright in articles submitted for publication in EJA
resides with the authors, unless otherwise specified.
Copyright in the form of the articles as presented in EJA
resides with the AES.
Articles should be submitted through the online
submission form available on the AES website:
www.aes.asn.au under Resources.
Full guidelines for contributors are published on the AES
website: www.aes.asn.au.
