Editor, 'Scope of the JTE' URL = http://hegel.lib.ncsu.edu/stacks/serials/jot/jot-v3n02-editor-scope Journal of Technology Education Volume 3, Number 2 Spring 1992 Miscellany Scope of the JTE The Journal of Technology Education provides a forum for scholarly discussion on topics relating to technology education. Manuscripts should focus on technology education research, philosophy, theory, or practice. In addition, the Journal publishes book reviews, editorials, guest articles, comprehensive literature reviews, and reactions to previously published articles. Editorial/Review Process Manuscripts that appear in the Articles section have been subjected to a blind review by three or more members of the editorial board. This process generally takes from six to eight weeks, at which time authors are promptly notified of the status of their manuscript. Book reviews, editorials, and reactions are reviewed "in house" which generally takes about two weeks. Manuscript Submission Guidelines 1. Five copies of each manuscript should be submitted to: Mark Sanders, JTE Editor, 144 Smyth Hall, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA 24061-0432 (703)231-8173. Bitnet: msanders @ vtvm1.

Moreover, the disk version must be in both the native word processor format (such as WordPerfect or MS Word) and in ASCII format. 4. Manuscripts for articles should generally be 15-20 pages in length (25 pages is an absolute maximum). Book reviews, editorials, and reactions should be three to six manuscript pages. 5.
