Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.
  • The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
  • The submission file is in OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, RTF, or WordPerfect document file format.
  • Where available, URLs for the references have been provided.
  • The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements which is found in About the Journal.

Author Guidelines

Format for submission—please follow the Harvard Referencing System. (A guide for assistance with this can be found here.)

All articles that are submitted must have the author and affiliations submitted on a separate page, any reference to an author’s own work within the article to be removed for the purposes of review.

Articles will be considered for publication of 3000-5000 words (longer work may be considered upon consultation).

Journal of Public Pedagogies considers all manuscripts on the strict condition that:

  • the manuscript is your own original work, and does not duplicate any other previously published work, including your own previously published work.
  • the manuscript has been submitted only to the Journal of Public Pedagogies; it is not under consideration or peer review or accepted for publication or in press or published elsewhere.
  • the manuscript contains nothing that is abusive, defamatory, libelous, obscene, fraudulent, or illegal.


Journal of Public Pedagogies is a peer-reviewed journal of the Public Pedagogies Institute. The journal publishes articles on learning and teaching in the community and generally outside formal educational institutions. Articles that do concern formal institutions must concern engagement with the broader community.

Note that this journal does not have article processing or submission charges.
