The New RE:view includes a broad range of topics from personal teaching experiences to more formal research studies. Whether your topic is about motivating activities for teaching braille to teenagers, ways of organizing financial information, trying new mobility techniques, changing attitudes of employers, or assessing vision changes in children with CVI, putting your experiences in writing can advance learning and encourage colleagues to try new solutions to teaching challenges.

Submitted manuscripts will undergo a formal, double-masked review. An Associate Editor working with anonymous peer reviewers from the field will provide feedback to ensure that your manuscript’s content is clear, accurate, and effective. If your work is accepted for publication, the TNR editorial team will work with you through the entire review and publication process.

TNR accepts manuscripts throughout the year and encourages topics related to visual impairment in the following categories:

  • Adult Rehabilitation
  • Assistive Technology
  • Education of Children
  • Low Vision
  • Orientation and Mobility
  • Vision Rehabilitation Services
  • Special Focus Areas
 

The journal’s emphasis on applied practice allows us to include several types of peer-reviewed articles. They can be presented in three categories.

  • Practice Reflections (not to exceed 2,000 words) report ideas and strategies that have effectively served in teaching particular skills or content areas and do not necessarily contain data analysis.
  • Practice Reports (not to exceed 3,000 words) present descriptions of methods and materials that implement evidence-based or promising practices gained from relevant instructional work in a real-world setting. In some cases, approval by an Institutional Review Board (IRB) may be needed. For more information, see Guidelines for Protection of Human Subjects on this website at Guidelines for Protection of Human Subjects.
  • Applied Research Reports (not to exceed 5,000 words) detail evidence-based analyses that come from controlled studies. Authors should emphasize the information’s practical application in practice and share strategies for its implementation. In most situations, if human subjects have been involved, applied research reports will require approval by an IRB. For more information, see Guidelines for Protection of Human Subjects on this website at Guidelines for Protection of Human Subjects.
 

In addition to the practice categories above, other submissions can include the following article types:

  • Book Reviews (not to exceed 2,000 words) are summaries and reactions to current literature in the field with an emphasis on new publications.
  • Views from the Field (not exceed 1,000 words) are informational or opinion pieces related to developments that impact people with visual impairement.
  • Guest Perspectives (not exceed 4,000 words) are essays that illustrate points of view, historical reflections, or personal insights relating to professional practice. If you are interested in submitting such a manuscript, contact the editors at tnr@aerbvi.org for further information.
 

Within these categories, authors can present ideas in formats that are useful to their colleagues.
