Here is a possible Journal I could submit a publishing request and the requirements.

Style Requirements:  Publishing company provides a style guide for the numerous Journals that they publish.  The Style guide is located here: http://www.intellectbooks.co.uk/journals/page/index,name=journalstyleguide/
Reference Requirements: Havard Style References Strongly Recommended
Length: No Length is specified.

Thoughts: I like how this journal specifically deals with pedagogical uses of technology in education.  I feel that this area is lacking in my field.  I think I would be really interested publishing to this Journal.  I find one downside to this Journal however and that is the fact that since they are a U.K. publishing company their style requirements are a little bit different and I may need to reformat the paper to fit their expectations.  One of them is U.K. spelling like Realisation as opposed to Realization.  Also I may need to reformat the sources to match their Harvard Style Reference requirements.  Although Harvard Style is similar to APA regarding author, date and title, the publishing information seems to be different.



Journal of Research in Music Education
ISSN: 0022-4294
Description: The Journal of Research in Music Education (JRME) is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes research reports that enhance knowledge regarding the teaching and learning of music. An essential objective of the JRME is to communicate research results to active researchers as well as to a broad spectrum of other individuals with interest in music education. Authors should be especially clear in reporting their purpose, procedures, and conclusions, and they should suggest implications for and applications to the profession.
Publisher: The Journal is published by Sage Publishing.
Can Submit online

Thoughts: This Journal seems to fall more in line with the style and purpose of my paper.


Update: Applications of Research in Music Education
ISSN: 0022-4294
Description: Update: Applications of Research in Music Education, a peer-reviewed online journal published that brings research in music teaching and learning close to everyday practice to help teachers apply research in their music classrooms and rehearsal halls. The journal presents reviews of the literature and findings of individual studies without research terminology or jargon. Manuscripts must be comprehensible to music teachers untrained in research methodology and statistics. Thus, writing should be as free of research jargon and statistical terminology as possible. A quantitative manuscript that eliminates specialized jargon associated with statistics must be accompanied by a not-to-be-published addendum that provides complete statistical information. Reviewers must have access to all relevant data and analyses in order to assess appropriateness, accuracy, and interpretation.
Publisher: The Journal is s a publication of MENC: The National Association for Music Education.
Can Submit online
Style Requirements:  APA
Reference Requirements: APA
Length: Should not exceed 20 pages.
Frequency and Deadline: Bi Annually, May and November. Could not find deadline

Thoughts: This Journal seems to fall more in line with the style and purpose of my paper.  I may have a greater chance to be accepted in this Journal than others and so it may be one of my top choices.  I like it’s more relaxed approach.
