Publication Manuscript Assignment Instructions
Using on School Climate and Bullying Dynamics: Evaluating Influences and Strategizing for a Positive and Bully-Free Educational Environment. develop a complete manuscript for possible submission for publication to the International Journal of Bullying Prevention: https://link.springer.com/journal/42380
You must follow the following author submission guidelines:
The
submission guidelines for the journal are:
·
Manuscript submission (the work has not
been published before and is not under consideration elsewhere).
·
Authors must anonymize the manuscript for
double-blind peer review.
·
Title Page should include the title,
author names, affiliations, contact information, acknowledgments, disclosures,
and funding information.
·
Submit text in Word with a plain font,
italics for emphasis, automatic page numbering, no field functions, and
equations in the equation editor or MathType.
·
Abbreviations should be defined at first
mention and used consistently afterward.
·
References should be cited by name and
year in parentheses.
·
All tables should be numbered with Arabic
numerals, cited in text in numerical order, and have a descriptive caption.
·
Artwork and illustration guidelines
include requirements for electronic figure submission, use of line art,
halftone art, combination art, color art, figure lettering, numbers, and
captions.
·
Supplementary Information (SI) can include
electronic multimedia files and other supplementary files to be published
online.
The
journal’s writing style requirements follow the American Psychological
Association (APA) style standards, with page lengths between 6,000 and 9,000
words and double-spaced text. Terminology should use standard mathematical
notation, scientific style with internationally accepted signs and symbols for
units, and generic names for drugs and pesticides. The ethical responsibilities
of authors include compliance with ethical standards, disclosing competing
interests, obtaining permission to include previously published materials,
ensuring informed consent, and following guidelines for research data policy. Compliance with ethical standards involves
providing appropriate statements regarding conflicts of interest, research
involving human participants or animals, informed consent, and ethics approval
(International Journal of Bullying Prevention (n.d).
The manuscript should follow a literature review or
position paper-type approach, demonstrating the depth and breadth of topic knowledge and highlighting what is known and not known. The writing should
be grounded in the research literature with relevant citations. Also, address
potential applications of what you have learned to the field (which could
include suggestions for future research).
Also, I will need a PowerPoint presentation.
Research Methodology Presentation Assignment
Instructions
Overview
Develop a PowerPoint presentation that addresses the gap
in the research literature (for traditional research) or a noticed need in the
field (for applied/action research). The presentation will also address a related
research question ( such as How does the school’s climate influence bullying behavior among students, and what strategies can be implemented to create a positive and supportive environment that discourages bullying?) or problem informed by the research topic. The presentation should align with the Research Topic
and the Professional
Publication Manuscript Assignment.
The proposed research design must include
human participants and be of one of the following types: traditional research should include a theoretical framework, such as social-cultural career theory, expectancy-value theory, etc. Applied or action research (do not
attempt the following design types: mixed-methods, descriptive statistics only,
meta-analysis, or text-only reviews). Data must never be collected without Institutional Review Board
approval. You are only proposing
a research study. Do not engage human participants or collect
data.
Use
past-tense verbs when discussing studies already conducted (i.e., from the
research literature) and future-tense verbs to describe your proposed study.
Instructions
The
presentation must be 10–20 slides and must include the following elements:
- An introduction;
- A literature review section with citations;
- A theoretical or conceptual framework section with
citations; - Note: Be specific and describe how your study will be
grounded. For instance, traditional research should include a theoretical
framework, such as Social-Cultural Career Theory or expectancy-value Theory. Applied or action research should include a conceptual
framework that attends to the basic foundation that frames your problem
of practice. - A section describing your proposed research question(s) and research design
for advancing the body of knowledge for your topic; - A section describing your proposed sample population, sampling strategy,
sample size, and methods for ensuring a diversely represented sample; - Note: Be specific. Identify a sampling strategy (e.g., purposeful convenience, random, or snowball sampling).
Where will you derive your sample population? How many participants would
you need? - A section describing your proposed data gathering methods (for qualitative
designs), data collection protocol, and instrumentation (for quantitative
designs); - Note: Be specific. Will you use an established
measurement instrument, such as a survey or standardized test? Or will
you create one based on the curriculum or other factors? If you
plan to build a measurement, you need only mention this—do not create
one for this assignment. - A section describing your proposed data analysis strategy (for qualitative
designs) OR chosen statistical analysis (for quantitative designs). You
are proposing
research only, not conducting it. - A section describing your proposed plan for
ensuring trustworthiness (for qualitative designs) OR validity and
reliability (for quantitative designs). - Note: Be specific about how you will analyze data.
Will you conduct a particular statistical analysis (for quantitative designs)?
Will you code data and organize it into themes (for qualitative designs)?
Be specific about how you will ensure trustworthiness (will you use
triangulation, for instance?) Or validity and reliability (will you conduct a statistical test, such as Cronbach’s alpha?) - A references section (you must cite at least five
articles from scholarly, peer-reviewed journals for this assignment).
Ensure your
presentation is easily readable, aesthetically pleasing, and professional.
Include graphics, images, pictures, and/or charts to engage your audience.
