Publication Submission Guidelines

Missionof PELINKS4U

PELINKS4U encourages submissions from physical and health educators, coaches, and other individuals interested in promoting healthy and active lifestyles.

Publication Opportunities

PELINKS4U invites the submission of articles that have practical relevance for school physical education teachers. These submissions may be research-based, but should have clearly practical implications for teaching or coaching. There are many alternative opportunities for submitting articles that are research focused.

PELINKS4U is especially interested in articles based on personal experience and practice. We recognize that many practitioners have interesting personal experiences and ideas that traditional professional journals might regard as too subjective for publication. PELINKS4U encourages the submission of well written essays and articles reflecting personal viewpoints and insights.

Currently, PELINKS4U publishes seven monthly sections:

• Adapted Physical Education
• Coaching & Sports
• Elementary Physical Education
• Health, Fitness, & Nutrition
• Interdisciplinary Physical Education
• Secondary Physical Education
• Technology in Physical Education

Submissions should be directed to one of these sections.

PELINKS4U encourages international perspectives, that is, information on programs and practically oriented research occurring in countries other than the United States.

PELINKS4U also welcomes submissions that utilize technology that can be shared via the Internet. These might include: Powerpoint or other slide presentations; Quicktime videos; explanations and demonstrations of computer software; teaching aids including sample assessments; photographs; artwork; and other innovative ways to share information and stimulate professional discussion. Please contact PELINKS4U if you have questions about the appropriateness of possible submissions.

Guidelines for Preparing Submissions

Please observe the following submission guidelines:

a. Title Page (Will not  be sent to Reviewers)

• Title of article
• Author's name and affiliation
• Postal address, email address, phone, and fax for correspondence
• Include any acknowledgement at the bottom of the page

b. Abstract: Please include an abstract of 50 words or less. This will be used on the PELINKS4U homepage to present the article to readers. Keep in mind the importance of this description for attracting readers to the article.

c. Tables and Figures: Please be sure to clearly number and label any tables, figures, illustrations, graphics, etc. These should be submitted on separate pages and where appropriate attached to the submission as graphics files in GIF or JPEG format, ready for posting on the web. Graphics files should be compressed to a size appropriate for web posting to avoid slowing down loading when viewed on the web.

d. Text/Presentations: PELINKS4U encourages submissions that are focused and succinct. While no limits are placed on length, authors should keep in mind the intended audience. Text should be sent in Word or Word Perfect format. Where references are included, authors should follow the guidelines of the American Psychological Association (APA), 5th edition.
