The Child Abuse Prevention Newsletter is published bi-annually. Contributions must be submitted four months in advance of publication to allow for review, revision, typesetting and printing timelines.
The average length of contributions is 1000–1500 words, but may be as short as 300–500 words. If you are unsure about the appropriateness of a piece, contact the National Child Protection Clearinghouse to discuss your submission.
Every Newsletter comprises at least one major contribution (up to 3000 words).
If you would like to submit a major contribution, please contact the National Child Protection Clearinghouse prior to submission.
Acceptance of all material is subject to a review process. Consideration will be given as to whether articles are relevant, clearly written, jargon-free and accessible. Consideration will also be given to the following criteria: timeliness of article; significance of the topic; factual accuracy; clear presentation and logical organisation of material; conclusions substantiated by convincing analytical argument; argument supported by references; quality and balance of the argument or information presented; and balance and relevance of any policy implications drawn.
All submissions must be double-spaced, and have a title, an author and the author’s affiliation. References should be consistent with the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5th edition). Illustrations, diagrams, and so on should be submitted electronically in JPEG, TIF or EPS format. To enable publications to be published in both print and electronic format, the use of footnotes is not permitted.
