Format your manuscript to the Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education requirements — abstract, APA (7th edition) references, and required declarations — and submit through Editorial Manager without a formatting rejection.

Most manuscripts sent to Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education don’t stumble on the science — they stumble on formatting caught at the first editorial check. This template is built around JMTE’s actual requirements — its abstract rules, APA (7th edition) references, and the required declarations — so your submission clears screening on the first pass. Everything below tracks the JMTE author guidelines; check it directly if anything looks out of date by the time you submit.
It’s a manuscript shell set up to JMTE’s specifications for the education and professional development of mathematics teachers. Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education is published by Springer. The shell covers the title page, the abstract, a body in Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion (IMRaD) order, and a reference list in APA (7th edition) style.
Start with the title page (authors, affiliations, and ORCID iDs). The abstract is an abstract of ≤250 words. The body follows Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion (IMRaD), and the reference list uses APA (7th edition). Close with the declarations block: conflict of interest, funding, ethics approval and consent, and data availability.
Beyond that, match your article type’s specific limits rather than assuming the defaults apply, keep APA (7th edition) formatting consistent from the first draft, and submit only through Editorial Manager — email submissions aren’t processed.
The shell mirrors what JMTE’s editorial staff check first: abstract format and length, APA (7th edition) reference formatting, and a complete declarations block. For the journal’s full aims and scope, see the JMTE journal home page. JMTE offers an open-access option; check the current article-processing charge and any waiver before you commit. Manuscripts go in through Editorial Manager, which also tracks your paper through peer review.
| Element | JMTE requirement |
|---|---|
| Abstract | an abstract of ≤250 words |
| Main text | Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion (IMRaD) |
| Declarations | Conflict of interest, funding, ethics approval and consent, and data availability |
| Figures / tables | Captioned, cited in order; check format and resolution rules in the guide |
| Supplemental | Large datasets, extra tables, code — uploaded separately and cited in text |
| Submission | Editorial Manager |
Read the JMTE author guidelines once before drafting and once before upload. Draft the abstract after your results are stable so it matches the paper. Set APA (7th edition) as your reference style before adding a single citation — retrofitting it later is where errors creep in.
Skim two or three recent JMTE papers to calibrate depth, structure, and figure style. State your contribution in the first two paragraphs, not on page ten. Write a data-availability statement that names a real repository rather than a placeholder, and disclose any preprint or conference version with identifiers in your cover letter. Confirm current open-access pricing and any institutional agreement before committing to a fee.
Do one focused pass against the JMTE author guidelines: scope fit, abstract format, length, APA (7th edition) references, required declarations, and figure quality. Then submit through Editorial Manager.
