Call for Manuscripts

The editors of the Ohio Social Studies Review, a peer-reviewed journal, issue a call to submit manuscripts for the fall 2012 issue, which is scheduled for October publication. 
The Ohio Social Studies Review is published twice a year, once in mid-fall and once in mid-spring. The fall issue is a non-themed issue published in hard copy, and the spring issue is a themed issue published online. The editors of the Ohio Social Studies Review are interested in soliciting manuscripts that add to what we know about best practices and research in social studies and foster meaningful debate about the implementation of such in social studies around the world. Submissions from all social studies disciplines as well as from interdisciplinary perspectives are welcome.
The editors have special interest in manuscripts authored by teachers or co-authored by researchers and practitioners that highlight practical responses to persistent challenges and understanding in our field. The Ohio Social Studies Review audience is OCSS membership, comprised in large part of practicing classroom teachers; therefore, manuscripts that focus on practical applications and/or effectively relate theory to practice will receive preference.
