No manuscript that has been published or is under consideration elsewhere may be submitted. To ensure the clarity of scientific communication in this journal, articles will not exceed 10 pages. This is roughly equivalent to 40 manuscript pages, including title page, abstract, references, tables, and figures. Editors may approve departures from this rule in exceptional circumstances. ASHA policy requires the use of nonsexist language and encourages the use of person-first language in manuscripts.
Guidelines are available from the editor.
A system of blind review is available to contributors to ASHA journals who choose such review. Authors who wish to remain anonymous to the editorial consultants during the review process should submit three of these copies with no names or institutional references by which a reviewer could identify the author. Responsibility for removal of identifying information rests with the author. Reviewers have the option of signing their reviews and are encouraged to do so. All manuscripts should be accompanied by a cover letter requesting that the manuscript be considered for publication and stating that the manuscript has not been published previously and is not currently submitted elsewhere.
