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. The contact author's business address, phone number, and email address should be included. Tables, Figures Copies of tables and figures should be attached to each copy of the manuscript. Table titles and figure captions should be concise but explanatory. The reader should not have to refer to the text to decipher the information.
