We value your work and contributions to learning and performance. Submitted manuscripts must be original, scientifically accurate, and in good form editorially. The manuscript should be significant, relevant, and informative. Manuscripts should summarize the basic facts and conclusions, and maintain a coherence and unity of thought. Furthermore, findings/conclusions must be literature or data-based using rigorous methods addressing appropriate questions. Each submitted manuscript must identify its contribution to the field of learning and performance all contributions to the field and any potential further research. Tutorial or how-to-do-it articles should preferably include a section on evaluation. Controversial topics should be treated in a factually sound and reasonably unbiased manner.
Preview
Authors may voluntarily submit manuscripts to the Editor for review. Before submitting an article, please consider the following suggestions. Manuscripts received in compliance with LPQ specifications will serve to expedite the processing and prompt reviewing for early publication. Submitted manuscripts should be grammatically correct and formatted according to APA, 6th edition guidelines, which includes spelling, punctuation, sentence structure, and the mechanical elements of arrangements, spacing, length, and consistency of usage in form and descriptions, prior to submission.
Pre-publication
LPQ will not consider manuscripts which have already been published or are being considered by another journal. Authors must include a statement with their letter that the manuscript has not been published and is not under consideration elsewhere.
Handling of Manuscripts
All manuscripts are acknowledged upon receipt. Review is performed out as promptly as possible. The manuscript will be reviewed by at least three members of the Editorial Review Board, which takes usually no more than two months. When a decision for publication or rejection is made, the senior author or author designated to receive correspondence is notified. At the time of notification, the author may be asked to make certain revisions in the manuscript, or the Editor may submit suggested revisions to the author for approval. Authors will be required to complete a transfer of copyright for each article accepted for publication.
All papers should adhere to Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, Sixth Edition. Please keep all case study manuscripts between 3000-5000 words. All concept, theoretical, and research manuscripts must be between 5000-9000 words.
Types of Manuscripts:
Research Papers : Papers that are concerned with the various approaches to learning and performance impact. These papers should discuss the literature related to the approach employed and include a measure of the learning and performance impact of the approach employed.
Case Studies: These highlight a particular learning, training, performance or instructional setting in which learning and performance resources were used to address a particular challenge. They present a discussion of the challenge from current literature, what was done to solve or explore it, and the results of the project. They often offer suggestions for others interested in addressing similar challenges.
Concept/Theory Papers: Papers that present new concepts or contribute to existing theory for learning and performance. This should offer a discussion of the literature related to the concept/theory along with a discussion of the major issues for future research needed to validate the concept/theory.
Book Reviews: Book reviews of publications 2012 or later will be accepted to highlight a issues and resources relevant for learning and performance and offer a suggested solution or direction. The position is supported with both a logical argument and a review of the pertinent literature.
Applies to Book Reviews
LPQ accepts reviews of current scholarly books on topics related to research, policy, or practices in the field. Book reviews may be submitted or invited to either themed or open-topic issues of the journal. Preference will be given in the review process to book review essays that comment on two or more related books. Book review essays should not exceed 3,800 words and should include city, state, publisher, and year of the book's publication. An abstract of 150 words or less and keywords are required for book review essays. Reviews of single books should not exceed 1,900 words. At the beginning of the text please include title, author, publisher, city, date, and page numbers of the book(s) under review. Because the editors submit book reviews to blind review, writers must exclude authors' names, institutions, and clues to the authors' identities except as citations. Further questions can be posed to the editors at the email and postal addresses noted above.
