The Journal of the National Association for Alternative Certification (JNAAC) is a service to members of the NAAC organization. It serves as a forum for the exchange of information and ideas related to alternative certification. Points of view and opinions are those of individual authors and not necessarily those of NAAC. Permission to reproduce any material in the Journal must be requested in writing from the managing editor.

The Journal of the National Association for Alternative Certification invites members and non-members of NAAC to submit manuscripts on issues related to alternative certification. The research manuscripts should focus on quantitative and/or qualitative research that has implications and applicability for practitioners and/or policy makers involved with alternative routes to certification. The featured article manuscripts should focus on issues related to policy, positions, and methodology. Manuscripts will be double blind peer reviewed.

To Submit an Article:
The Journal of the National Association for Alternative Certification utilizes the OJS (Open Journal Systems) data management system to house and index the journal and to manage the submission process. Please read about the OJS system at: http://pkp.sfu.ca/?q=ojs

Manuscripts for submission should be submitted directly into the JNAAC web site at the following URL: www.jnaac.org/jnaac/ All users of the OJS system are required to register for free. Authors should register as both "author and as a reader."

The journal provides Authors with the ability to upload their submission directly to the journal website. Authors will have the option of registering as an Author and/or a Reader (to be notified of the Table of Contents new issue of the journal). On completing the registration process, the Author is taken directly to User Home, which lists the various roles the user has with this journal (e.g., Author, Reader, Reviewer, etc.). Clicking on the role of Author will take users to their submissions page, where a list of current and past submissions are listed, and where a new submission to the journal can be initiated. The submission process for Authors is broken down into five steps, with guidance provided at each step. Authors do not need to complete the five steps in one session, but can return to what will be listed as on the submissions table as "Incomplete".
