Integrative Pathways is the quarterly newsletter of the Association for Interdisciplinary Studies, with editions published in January, April, July, October. We welcome submissions to the newsletter. In general, newsletter material is shorter and less formal than what would appear in a peer-reviewed journal, such as Issues in Interdisciplinary Studies. Here are some guidelines on how to submit material:

• • Articles: Authors may also propose articles about interdisciplinary programs, teaching, or research by contacting the editor. The preferred length for an article is 2,000 words. Please follow the APA Publication Manual, 7th edition, in preparing your manuscript.

• • Reviews: Authors who wish to submit their proposals for reviews of recent books, special editions of academic journals, and online publications related to interdisciplinary studies and integrative learning should email queries to the editor. The preferred length of a review is 2,500 words. Please follow the APA Publication Manual, 6th edition, in preparing your manuscript.

• • Columns: Authors who wish to suggest or submit material for a column should contact the contributing editor for that column. Contact the editor if you have ideas for new recurring columns.

• • Announcements: We publish announcements about upcoming conferences, job openings, and other news of interest related to interdisciplinary studies, when space permits. Announcements should be a maximum of 250 words and may be edited for publication.

• • Multimedia material: Integrative Pathways is published electronically, and therefore can accept graphical, audio, video, or multimedia content in a number of formats. Space, bandwidth and memory capacity are considerations. Contact the editor for more information.

• • Deadlines: Authors should submit material for the edition of anticipated publication. The deadlines are:
    • January edition: November 20
    • April edition: February 20
    • July edition: May 20
    • October edition: August 20

(The editor may delay publication when necessary.)
