Pme-na 2017 conference proceedings guidelines

The following are guidelines for manuscripts accepted for publication in the PME-NA Conference Proceedings for 2017. Please follow these guidelines carefully to facilitate the efficient and timely production of the Proceedings. [A Microsoft styles template file can be downloaded from the conference website.]

Author, institution, and email are set on three lines, centered, single-spaced, as follows [use Author PMENA style for single author; Normal PMENA style for multiple authors]. If a presentation has multiple authors, underline the presenting author(s) names. Note that the presenting author(s) of accepted proposals must register by the speakers’ deadline of August 1, 2017 to remain on the program.

All headings in the paper should be bold, Times New Roman 12-point font. Please limit your headings to the following three levels:

Text begins here.

Text begins here.

Second Level Headings [use Second Level Heading PMENA] should be left justified, bold, with only the first letter of each word capitalized. Second Level Headings are neither preceded nor followed by a blank line. Indent the first line of text ¼ inch after a Second Level Heading.

Third Level Headings [use Normal PMENA style and bold the heading and period] should be indented ¼ inch, bold, and followed by a period. Only the first letter of the first word of the heading title should be capitalized. Begin typing the text immediately after the period at the end of the heading.

Quotes

A quote longer than 40 words should be formatted as a “block quote”—as this paragraph is formatted [use Block Quote PMENA style]. Begin the quote on a new line and indent the entire quote ¼ inch on the left. To do so on the ruler bar, grab both the top and bottom triangles on the ruler bar and drag them to the ¼ inch mark. No quotation marks are used, the period goes at the end of the quote, and the reference (author, year, page number) goes at the end of the quote with no period after it.

Transcripts should begin on a new line, with the first line indented ¼ inch (drag the upper triangle to the ¼-inch mark) [use Transcript PMENA style]. Indent subsequent lines using a hanging indent set at ½ inch (drag the lower triangle to the ½-inch mark). Italicize the speaker’s name on the first line, followed by a colon, as shown below.

In a paragraph or sentence, identify elements in a series by lowercase letters in parentheses: (a) the first item in the series, (b) the second item, and (c) the third item. Use semicolons instead of commas if the series elements contain commas. If the listed items are separate paragraphs, use Arabic numerals followed by a period or bullets. Use the automated numbering or bullets in Microsoft Word, which will provide the appropriate indentation of each line [use Normal PMENA style].

1. 
   The first enumerated paragraph should be presented in this manner.
   
2. 
   The second paragraph …
   
3. 
   The third paragraph …
   

All tables and figures should be placed in the document as appropriate, with a blank line both preceding and following the table or figure. If necessary, resize large tables or graphics to fit within the 1-inch margins and to keep your document within the number of pages allowed. Create tables using the Table feature of Microsoft Word (Tables are those graphics consisting of rows and columns; all other graphics should be designated as Figures). Use the First Level Heading PMENA for both table and figure titles, placing the table title above the table, and the figure title below the figure or graphic. Examples follow.

Endnotes should be used only in extreme cases. Use the endnote function of Microsoft Word; do not use the footnote function. The heading for endnotes should be treated as a First Level Heading. Indent the first line of each endnote ¼ inch; use Times New Roman, 12-point font, single-spaced. Do not put a blank line between endnotes.

Any necessary acknowledgments should immediately precede the References. The heading should be treated as a First Level Heading. Do not put blank lines between multiple acknowledgments.

References should be Times New Roman, 10-point font, single-spaced, with ¼-inch hanging indent—as this paragraph is formatted [use Reference PMENA style]. To set up a hanging indent using the ruler bar, grab the bottom triangle at the left edge of the ruler and drag it to the ¼ inch mark. Do not use the return key, space bar, or tab key to create a hanging indent. There should be no blank lines between references. All references should follow APA format; a variety of sample references are illustrated below. Note that titles of books are journals should be italicized, not underlined. There should be no underlined text in the manuscript.
