** Cabell’s Directory of Publishing Tools ** **PUBLICATION**

To help professors, graduate students, and researchers publish their manuscripts, we provide access to the Educational set which includes the Cabell’s Directories of Educational Curriculum and Methods, Educational Psychology and Administration, and Educational Technology and Library Science.

The Education Set Directory will help you select those journals that are most likely to publish your manuscript. The index in each Directory helps you match the characteristics of your manuscript to the topic areas the journal emphasizes, the type of review process, acceptance rate and number of external reviewers.

To further assist you in organizing and preparing your manuscripts, each Directory includes extensive information on the style and format of most journals. If a journal has its own set of manuscript guidelines, a copy of these guidelines is published in the Directory. Also, each entry indicates the use of a standard set of publication guidelines by a journal. For example, some journals use the Chicago Manual of Style or the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association.

Furthermore, each Directory describes the type of review process used by the editor(s) of a journal, number of reviewers, acceptance rate, time required for review, availability of reviewers’ comments, fees charged to review or publish the manuscript, copies required and manuscript topics.  You can access your selected directories by clicking the 'Members' link on our home page ([|www.cabells.com]) or by going to [] (using Internet Explorer browser, version 6.0 or later). When you enter the members' area, you should immediately see a screen that tells you which directories you may view. You should not have to enter a password or an ID number. **Note**: You can access the directory without a password only form the computer on campus.
