After the 2011 Conference, we announced a publication of a monograph based on the proceedings. These papers are based on presentations from the 2011 State of the Art Conference, and have been blind reviewed by our Executive Planning Committee.

As a conference attendee, you are encouraged to submit to the monograph, to be published in 2013. The focus of each manuscript should be on Postsecondary Education and Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities. We are interested in Practitioner and Research Pieces of approximately 15-20 pages double-spaced (although smaller pieces are welcome and will be reviewed). The criteria follow (each is worth 5 points, for 50 total points):

Importance of the work
Adequacy of the reason for the study or article
Scope and depth of the literature review
If a research piece, soundness of the methods. If a practitioner piece, ability to inform and replicate
APA format
Appropriate citations and references
Grammatically correct writing
Clear writing style
Postsecondary implications
Overall impressions and recommendations

Articles that score, across reviewers, an average of 40-50 points will be published in the Monograph, with final edits completed by editor. Articles that score, across reviewers, an average of 30-40 points will be send back for revision and resubmission. Articles that score, across reviewers, an average of 30 points or below will be rejected.
