A strong study can still bounce at Journal of New Approaches in Educational Research before review if the manuscript ignores the journal’s formatting requirements. This template is built around NAER’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 Everything below tracks the NAER author guidelines; check it directly if anything looks out of date by the time you submit.
It’s a manuscript shell set up to NAER’s specifications for innovation in education — technology, methods, and evidence-based practice. Journal of New Approaches in Educational Research 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 a concise 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 the journal's online submission system — email submissions aren’t processed.
The shell mirrors what NAER’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 NAER journal home page. NAER is open access; check the current policy on article-processing charges. Manuscripts go in through the journal's online submission system, which also tracks your paper through peer review.
| Element | NAER requirement |
|---|---|
| Abstract | a concise 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 | the journal's online submission system |
Read the NAER 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 NAER 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 NAER author guidelines: scope fit, abstract format, length, APA (7th edition) references, required declarations, and figure quality. Then submit through the journal's online submission system.
