INSTRUCTIONS FOR JOURNAL SUBMISSION
Conference presenters who choose to submit a paper that is based upon their conference presentation to the Australian Journal of Career Development should submit their manuscript to the journal's editor, Dr Peter McIlveen. The journal accepts descriptive case study, literature review, conceptual, and empirical manuscripts for double-blind peer review (approximately 4500 to 5000 words). It also accepts shorter manuscripts for its non-reviewed Careers Forum section (up to 1500 words). The AJCD is recognised in the Australian Government's ERA list of journals (C). Follow this link to learn about the the process of submission to the journal: http://www.acer.edu.au/documents/AJCD_ManuscriptStandardsAndSubmissionGuidelines.pdf. Presenters who would like to enter their manuscript into the "special issue" devoted to the conference should have their manuscript submitted to the editor by 31 January 2011. Manuscripts received after that date will be treated as ordinary submissions that are welcomed at any time throughout the year, but they will not appear in the special issue. The editor is available to provide advice on submitting a manuscript: peter.mcilveen@usq.edu.au
