Submission Guidelines

To be considered for publication submissions must meet the following criteria:

• Unsolicited manuscripts are accepted, but we prefer to have authors discuss their ideas with the editors prior to submitting a manuscript. Feature articles are primarily solicited by the editors and are selected based on their relevance to the major themes present in the work of the SoL community. Currently the themes we are focusing on are: large system change, leadership development, cross-sector collaboration, innovations in practice, sustainability, and youth and eduction. In addition, we look for practicability, rigor and relevance in research, a consideration of tools and methods, and the voice of the practitioner. Feature articles are generally less than 5,000 words, commentaries are less than 1,500 words. EBR>
