SCOPE

Preventing School Failure is a journal for educators and parents seeking strategies for promoting school success for children with learning and behavior problems. We accept for review manuscripts that contain critical and integrated literature reviews, objective program evaluations, evidence-based strategies and procedures, program descriptions, and policy-related content. As appropriate, manuscripts should contain enough detail that readers are able to put useful or innovative strategies or procedures into practice.

Preventing School Failure prefers to receive author submissions via Manuscript Central. Please submit separate files for figures and tables. To submit a manuscript to Preventing School Failure, visit: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/psf. Manuscripts should be sent exclusively to Preventing School Failure. Cover information should include the title of the article and the names of the authors, with their academic affiliations as well as phone, fax numbers and e-mail address and should be submitted separately for a blind review.

All quotations and references to research results or scholarly findings must be cited in the text by the author–date system and as references at the end of the manuscript, according to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association(APA; 5th ed., revised 2001). Authors are responsible for the accuracy of their material. Tables, graphs, and figures need to be printed on separate sheets of paper. Articles will be edited for clarity and readability, and changes may be made so that the text conforms to the journal's style.

All manuscripts should be accompanied by a cover letter stating that the article is being submitted exclusively to this journal.
