Routledge’s submission portal allows for rapid submission of original and revised manuscripts and facilitates the review process and internal communication between authors, editors, and reviewers via a web-based platform. Technical support for authors submitting to the journal can be accessed here. If you have any other requests, please contact the Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Jonathan Bostic ([email protected]). All submitted manuscripts are reviewed by a technical assistant for aspects including but not limited to (a) appropriate use of APA style, (b) alignment to the journal’s aims and scope, and (c) adherence to journal guidelines. This review is shared with the editor, who then reads the manuscript and the technical assistant’s review to evaluate whether the manuscript is appropriate for peer review. Investigations in Mathematics Learning is a membership journal of the Research Council on Mathematics Learning. Once a manuscript is accepted for publication, at least one of the co-authors is required to join the membership of the Research Council on Mathematics Learning with full membership dues.
