General Hyperlinks to other web pages

Authors are encouraged to include appropriate hyperlinks to other web based resources that support their submission. Submitted articles should have the hyperlinks included as part of their word processing format. Journal editors are not responsible for embedding general hyperlinks in text. The submitting author holds responsibility for hyperlinks outside of the domain of the Journal of technology in counseling.

An example of how the editors would receive and publish the document is as follows:

Professional counseling organizations have begun to utilize the WWW extensively as a service to members. Comprehensive association websites provide members with a variety of resources related to their profession. The American Counseling Association and its division dedicated to group workers, The Association for Specialists in Group Work, are examples of such organizations that heave extensive websites for their members. 

Email and Listserv messages

Email and listserv messages can be incorporated via hyperlink into texts. The Journal of Technology in Counseling considers email as privileged communication and is the intellectual property of the parties involved in the email. Email and Listserv messages should have approval of both parties in their use for professional publication. JTC requires that authors including email in their articles provide a statement releasing that email or listserv media is being used with the party's consent.

Hypertexted email and listserv messages should be included as separate files with the submitted document. In the text of the submitted document reference to the hyperlinked file, in brackets following the link as "[HL: file.txt]", should provided for page layout purposes.

An example of how the editors would receive the document is as follows: 

Email allows the counselor educator and student to communicate outside of the normal classroom hours. Because the communication is asynchronous, each party is agreeing to potential delays in response to inquiries. Email is not as immediate response as classroom instruction but can act as an adjunct to what occurs in the classroom. The author has used email as adjunct to instruction of practicum[HL: practicum.txt], counseling theory[HL: theory.txt], assessment[HL: assessment.txt], career[HL: career.txt], substance abuse[HL: abuse.txt], multicultural[HL: cultural.txt] and marriage and family assessment[HL: family.txt].

The resulting document would look and work as the following:

Email allows the counselor educator and student to communicate outside of the normal classroom hours. Because the communication is asynchronous, each party is agreeing to potential delays in response to inquiries. Email is not as immediate response as classroom instruction but can act as an adjunct to what occurs in the classroom. The author has used email as adjunct to instruction of practicum, counseling theory, assessment, career, substance abuse, multicultural and marriage and family assessment.

 

Graphics, charts and tables

Graphics, charts and tables can also be incorporated into texts. The Journal of technology in Counseling encourages the use of graphic media to emphasize aspects of the author's thesis. Graphic content should be of the author's origin or the author is held responsible for obtaining a release of copyright to reproduce the content in the Journal of Technology in Counseling. There are a variety of graphic formats to choose from. The Journal of Technology in Counseling is asking that all graphics be provided in JPEG (.jpg) format. JPEG graphic format is easily incorporated into HTML code and read by most browsers. graphics will appear as thumbnails in the article that when the reader clicks on them they expand to full size for detailed viewing.

Graphics should be included as separate files with the submitted document. In the text of the submitted document reference to the inserted graphic in brackets following the link as "[Insert graphic here: picture.jpg]" should provided for page layout purposes.

 

A sample of the format for submission to indicate graphics are included.

[Insert graphic here: room.jpg] The new counseling training laboratory consists of three rooms that each have ceiling mounted microphones, two Autodome zoom cameras that allow for multiple room views with split screen, one way glass and the capability for each room to have "bug-in- the-ear" technology for supervisors and counselors in training. The control room allows the supervisor to observe and listen into three separate rooms. Three monitors allow for split screen viewing. The observers can wear hands-free, wireless room monitor headsets that allow them to switch from one room to another for listening. Also equipped in the control room is a high end computer with video editing capabilities. [Insert graphic here: lab4.jpg]    

 

The above sample would look as follows in the finished publication:

Active slide presentations/PowerPoint

Active slide presentations are an effective way to summarize material that is adjunct to the author's main theme. Active Slide presentation can be incorporated in a submission using Microsoft PowerPoint 97+ and saving the file as a .PPS PowerPoint Show. Submissions should include the presentation (.PPT) file as well as the converted (.PPS) to allow the editors to best edit the presentation for publication. Professionals reading a submission who lack PowerPoint 97 at their location can download free (see System Requirements) the PowerPoint 97 Viewer which will allow them to run a PPS program for viewing.

Slide presentations should be included as separate files (both PPT and PPS) with the submitted document. In the text of the submitted document reference to the inserted slide show in brackets following the link as "[Insert SS here: slides.PPS]" should provided for page layout purposes. The a thumbnail of the title slide will act as a hyperlink to run the embedded slide show

An example of what a submitted document with reference to embedded slides would look like:

Course material used in the preparation of career development counselors has been particularly void of information assisting the future career counselor in dealing with the contemporary issue of job loss. This void offered the author in his program another opportunity to infuse technology into the pedagogy. Technology supplemented the standard course material in this case with the inclusion of PowerPoint slides addressing the needs of those in job transition [Insert SS here: slides.PPS].

 

An example of how this would look and run in the published article follows:

Audio clips

Authors may consider including audio clips as a portion of their submission. We encourage the use of audio embedded in documents to highlight a point made within the text. Submitted audio clips should be of the best quality available. Currently JTC will accept submissions that are in analog format (tape). The editors would suggest that audio clips could be recorded and submitted as part of a video. Current videocamera audio quality often surpasses what one can get from a cassette recorder so consider submitting video with audio and the editors can remove the video portion leaving the audio clip.

An sample of a manuscript with embedded audio can be seen below.

Short audio clips embedded in course websites give the student the opportunity for a quick review of concepts that were further elucidated in the text or lecture. We have found that students respond well to these sound bites and often become key pieces of retained knowledge from the course.[Insert audio clip: Guidelines clip]

 

The published version of the above would look like:

Video Tape Clips for Publication

Video tape demonstration clips can be incorporated directly into the existing text in a submitted manuscript. The Journal of Technology in Counseling considers video tape segments as privileged communication and is the intellectual property of the parties involved. Video tape demonstration segments should be accompanied by signed consent authorization by all parties for use in The Journal of Technology in Counseling. JTC requires that authors wishing to include Video tape demonstration clips in their submitted articles follow these guidelines:

1. All segments should be recorded on a VHS video tape that accompanies the authors manuscript submission. 

2. The videotape should be clearly marked regarding the number and order of segments.  In addition, the placement of segments within the manuscripts should be clearly indicated and a brief topic  description should be included.

3. The length of most segments should not exceed 10 minutes in length without prior permission from the editors of JTC.

4. The editors of JTC will retain the right to limit and edit any videotape segments for publication.

5. Guidelines for quality video and audio taping can be found elsewhere on this website.  Please be aware that a video recording should be clearly focused, self-explanatory, and have clear audio. 

 

An example of what a submission with embedded video would look like follows:

The target audience will be counselor educators, practicum coordinators, supervisors of professional counselors, and those interested in the use of technology in supervision from [Insert video clip: video class] both agency and school settings. This presentation will provide participants with knowledge about videoconferencing design and begin to address qualitative differences with traditional supervision models.

The learning objectives are: (1) Participants will learn about the technical setup and limitations of videoconferencing.; (2) Participants will experience a videoconferencing link and see modeled its use as an adjunct to supervision; and (3) Participants will gain insight into supervisor/supervisee descriptive reaction to videoconferencing supervision through preliminary results of the presenter’s study.

[Inset video clip: videosupervision] Supervision and Technology: Efficacy and Uses for Internet Video Conferencing. This presentation will provide participants with knowledge about videoconferencing design and begin to address qualitative differences with traditional supervision models.

 

This submission would look and run in the journal as follows:

References and Appendix

References will appear at the end of the journal article but will also be hyperlinked to pop-up similar to the email and listserv messages. This allows the reader to jump to the reference as a separate window without losing their point in the article. References should be prepared in accordance to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (4th Ed). Web based references should follow the American psychological Association's How to Cite Information from the Internet and the World Wide Web
