Publication Requirements:
Include the 2020 Standards for Technological and Engineering Literacy or other STEM Standards. Provide these at the benchmark level. Writing that your design brief covers STEL8 is virtually meaningless as it is generic and covers K-12. If you are talking about a middle school classroom, consult the Standards document at that level and choose the benchmarks that can be clearly linked to what you are writing about.
Citations. Provide citations and references in the correct APA format for any statements require support. For example, if you write that American girls are better in science than boys, you need to back up that opinion with cited research. Making an assertion often only requires one good citation. Including 4-6 citations per statement adds redundancy and interferes with the reader’s ability to follow the article.
Provide a bio. Write a one-sentence author identification (providing the author’s full name, title, current affiliation, location, and email address) at the end of the manuscript
Include supporting material. If you have art work, photographs, charts, or tables to accompany the article, submit them as separate high-resolution images with the article. If you submit photographs, write captions for them and place the captions at the end of the article, following the one-sentence author identification.
