The New RE:view includes a broad range of topics from personal teaching experiences to more formal research studies. Whether your topic is about motivating activities for teaching braille to teenagers, ways of organizing financial information, trying new mobility techniques, changing attitudes of employers, or assessing vision changes in children with CVI, putting your experiences in writing can advance learning and encourage colleagues to try new solutions to teaching challenges.
If you have good ideas for learning but have never put them into writing, this is the time and the place! An Associate Editor working with reviewers from the field will provide feedback to ensure that your writing is effective. If your work is accepted for publication, the TNR editorial team will work with you in making your message clear.
TNR accepts manuscripts throughout the year and encourages topics related to visual impairment in the following arenas:
- Adult Rehabilitation
- Assistive Technology
- Education of Children
- Orientation and Mobility
- Vision Rehabilitation and Medical Services
- Special Focus Areas
The journal’s emphasis on applied practice allows us to include several types of peer-reviewed articles. They can be presented in three categories.
- Practice Reflections (not to exceed 2,000 words) report ideas and strategies that have effectively served in teaching particular skills or content areas and do not necessarily contain data analysis.
- Practice Reports (not to exceed 3,000 words) present descriptions of methods and materials that implement evidence-based or promising practices gained from relevant instructional work in a real-world setting. In some cases, approval by an Institutional Review Board (IRB) may be needed. For more information, see Guidelines for Protection of Human Subjects.
- Applied Research Reports (not to exceed 5,000 words) detail evidence-based analyses that come from controlled studies. Authors should emphasize the information’s practical application in practice and share strategies for its implementation. In most situations, applied research reports will require approval by an IRB.
In addition, other submissions can include
- Book Reviews, (not to exceed 2,000 words)
- Views from the Field, (not exceed 1,000 words)
Within these categories, practitioners can present ideas in formats that are useful to their colleagues. The TNR Editorial Board encourages practitioners and university educators to submit their ideas to the journal. Associate Editors are ready to provide feedback on necessary revisions.
