Author Guidelines
The purpose of the Journal of MultiDisciplinary Evaluation (JMDE) is to publish and disseminate work that contributes to the development of evaluation theory, methods, and practice. Questions regarding the relevance of a potential submission should be directed to the Executive Editor at chris.coryn@wmich.edu.
With the exception of editorals, book reviews, and "ideas to consider," all sections of JMDE are subject to double-blind peer-review.
JMDE publishes the following types of double-blind peer-reviewed manuscripts (though other types of manuscripts will be given due consideration):
Research on evaluation
Literature reviews
Reflections on practice
Theory development
Qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods developments for evaluation
Developments in approaches to practice
Developments in teaching evaluation
Manuscripts submitted to JMDE should be completely blinded to author(s), affiliation(s), and any other potential identifying information in order to assure impartial peer review. Every element within the manuscript should be double-spaced, including tables and references, and follow the style recommendations of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5th ed.; click here for APA style resources).
