    Call for Proposals

    The editors of the Ohio Social Studies Review, a peer-reviewed journal, issue a call to submit manuscripts for the Spring 2011 issue, which is scheduled for March publication.

    Theme: Local History and Issues

    All things local are global, and all things global are local. What can social studies teachers do to help their students make personal connections with what happened in the distant past in distant places and what is happening in our globalizing world today?

    The editors of the Ohio Social Studies Review are interested in soliciting manuscripts that illuminate how teachers can effectively help students make connections between their own and the global world.

    We are especially interested in manuscripts authored by teachers or co-authored by researchers and practitioners that highlight lesson units that have been effective towards accomplishing this goal.

    The Ohio Social Studies Review is especially directed at OCSS membership, comprised in large part of practicing classroom teachers; therefore, manuscripts that focus on practical applications will be preferred.

    Submission Guidelines
    Submissions from all social studies disciplines as well as from interdisciplinary perspectives are welcome. Each submission will be refereed using a double-blind peer review process. Submit manuscripts as a file attachment to the Executive Editor at: doppen@ohio.edu To be sent for peer review, manuscripts must be:

  • Original, accurate, meet submission guidelines, and not under consideration elsewhere.
  • Submitted in Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th edition) style.
  • Formatted in Times New Roman, size 12 font, double spaced with graphics embedded in text in .gif or .jpg file formats.
  • Submitted in Microsoft .doc or .docx format.
  • From 2,000 to 4,000 words in length, including references.


    • Please include:
  • A title page with complete contact information for all authors, including address, telephone, fax, and email.
  • An abstract of 200 words or less following the title page.
  • A biographical sketch of each author of 50 words or less at the end of the manuscript.


    • Submission

    Submit your manuscript with an email message indicating that it has not been published elsewhere, is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, and that copyright will be given to the Ohio Social Studies Review should it be accepted for publication.

    Manuscripts should be submitted no later than November 1, 2010, to:
