Submit to RSEQ

Published quarterly since 1981, RSEQ is the only national scholarly publication focused entirely on:

  • presentation of experimental or applied research that examines variables affecting rural programs or personnel;
  • analysis of policy developments at the state and federal levels that have important implications for rural areas;
  • description of program models or practice in action appropriate for rural schools or community agencies serving individuals with special needs; and
  • thought-provoking discussion of regional or national issues and trends in rural service delivery or personnel preparation.

Articles with a distinctly rural focus are accepted for publication in five (5) categories:

  • Research reports: empirical or applied research that use appropriate methods, report significant findings, and offer implications for policy, practice or research;
  • Program descriptions: innovations in service delivery or personnel preparation, with detailed descriptions of procedures and objective evaluation of outcomes;
  • Position papers: discussions of current issues and trends, with literature review and recommendations for policy, practice or research;
  • Practice in Action: helpful ideas and examples for direct implementation by practitioners, with sufficient detail for immediate application; and
  • Viewpoints: opinions supported by a clear rationale and convincing evidence about hot topics or controversial issues to share perspectives and stimulate discussion.
