Respiratory Care Education Annual Manuscript Deadline Extended

March 8, 2011

The AARC will publish Volume 20 of the Respiratory Care Education Annual in 2011. This refereed journal is committed to providing a forum for research and theory in respiratory care education and is listed in the "Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature."

The AARC Education Section invites educators to submit papers for consideration. Preference will be given to papers that emphasize original research, applied research, or evaluation of an educational method. Other topics that may be considered include interpretative reviews of literature, educational case studies, and point-of-view essays. Submissions will be reviewed based on originality, significance and contribution, soundness of scholarship (design, instrumentation, data analysis), generalizability to the education community, and overall quality of the paper.

Papers should be approximately 6 to 10 pages in length and should follow the guidelines in the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals, fifth edition (1997). Abstracts should not exceed 250 words.

For more information, please contact Dennis Wissing, Editor, at dwissi@lsuhsc.edu or 318-573-9788. Completed manuscripts should be emailed as a Word document to Bill Dubbs at dubbs@aarc.org. The deadline has been extended March 28, 2011.
