Directives aux auteurs-es

Papers on Postsecondary Learning and Teaching (PPLT) is a publication of the University of Calgary Conference on Postsecondary Learning and Teaching. The publication publishes manuscripts developed from presentations delivered at this conference.

By submitting a manuscript to Papers on Postsecondary Learning and Teaching (PPLT), the author(s) agree(s), that neither the manuscript nor any substantially similar manuscript has been published, is in press, or is under consideration elsewhere.

Format

PPLT accepts submissions in essay format and submitted as an MS Word document. Use a standard typeface and size (Times New Roman 12 pt.) and double space with left justification. Margins should be 1 inch and essays should be 6-10 pages, including figures and tables, with a maximum of two pages for references. Please include an abstract of 100-150 words.

Style

PPLT uses the language and format (headings, tables, figures, citations, and references) of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (7th ed.) https://apastyle.apa.org/products/publication-manual-7th-edition

All tables should be in an editable format (i.e., not an inserted graph). If the tables are created in Word, ensure the tables are created using columns and rows and not using tabs. All tables and figures should be placed at the end of the manuscript on separate pages but within a single document. Placement of each table and figure within the text should be clearly marked within the text as "Place table (or figure) X here".

Figures should have enough resolution so that when it is printed on a letter size page, everything is legible. Whenever possible, include the original file that was used to create the figure (e.g., Excel, PowerPoint, or Photoshop).

Ensure pattern (not colour) is used to distinguish portions of the figure, or used in the legend. While the colour version of the manuscript will be made available on the PPLT Open Journal System, some readers may only be able to print a black-and-white version of the manuscript, and figures need to be legible without colour.

Running head

A running head of no more than 5 words should be included in the manuscript.
