For electronic media, information on the format and instructions for use must be included. The EMC expects to review copies of videotapes in VHS format. A professional master will be needed if the video is accepted. If submitting a proposal for a videotape, include all the same information you would for a manuscript, including a detailed outline or storyboard. Also indicate how you plan to produce the videotape and your funding sources.
All funding is the responsibility of the originators.
Videotapes need to be professional in quality of planning, design, and production. In a proposal for a poster, reviewers will need to see the text and a rendition of the layout as well as a description of the poster's purpose and use. After all author or editor names have been masked, manuscripts and written proposals are photocopied and sent to eight outside reviewers by the Reston office. These outside reviewers are selected from a cadre of volunteer NCTM members, many of whom have been authors themselves. Every attempt is made to match reviewers' expertise and interests to the materials being sent to them.
