NACADA Journal should be in a Word ".doc" file or in a Word-compatible

Times New Roman 12 point font, and double spaced. The body of
the paper, title page, references, tables, figures, and author

should be placed in the upper right corner of all pages.

submitted to the NACADA Journal are reviewed on a rolling
basis, so authors can email them to journals@ksu.edu
at any time they reach closure.

and send copies of manuscripts to editorial board members for
blind review. Authors will be contacted after the review process,
