Instructions to Authors
The Diabetes Educator is the
official journal of the American
Association of Diabetes
Educators (AADE). It is a
peer-reviewed journal intended
to serve as a reference
source for the science
and art of diabetes management.
The Diabetes Educator
publishes original
articles that relate to (1) aspects
of patient care and education,
(2) clinical practice
and/or research, and (3) the
multidisciplinary profession
of diabetes education as
represented by nurses, dietitians,
physicians, pharmacists,
mental health
professionals, podiatrists,
and exercise physiologists.
ARTICLE CATEGORIES
The two main types of articles published
in The Diabetes Educator are
features and departments.
Features
Feature articles provide a detailed
presentation of a subject from one of
the following categories: original research,
literature reviews, or perspectives
in practice. All feature
articles must include a structured abstract
of 150 to 200 words (see
揝tructured Abstract?section under
Manuscript Preparation).
Original Research
This type of feature reports original
clinical investigations that are relevant
to the education and care of
people with diabetes. Research papers
should be 12 to 14 doublespaced
pages, excluding tables, figures,
and references. The following
elements should be included in reports
of original research: (1) structured
abstract; (2) introduction with
statement of the purpose of the
study; (3) complete description of
the methods (eg, design, sample,
evaluation instruments, procedures,
statistical analyses); (4) clear report
of the results; (5) conclusions/discussion
of the findings; and (6) implications
and/or recommendations that
summarize how the findings can be
applied to the practice of diabetes
education.
Literature Reviews,
Perspectives in Practice
Papers in this category should be
8 to 10 double-spaced pages,
excluding tables, figures, and references.
Literature reviews should provide
a comprehensive summary and
critique of information on a relevant
topic from a representative collection
of resources. The most current
findings should be presented along
with a history of the literature on the
given topic. Controversies, issues,
and questions should be addressed
as well as standard practices and
opinions.
Perspectives in practice
may take the form of a detailed case
study in which clinical situations illustrate
distinguishing, unique, or
atypical features that provide a lesson
to be learned.
Continuing Education
Feature articles for continuing education
are selected by the editor in
chief. Appropriate articles represent
a timely topic that has been addressed
in a comprehensive manner.
Authors will be asked to write
learner objectives for their article but
are not required to write questions
for the continuing education posttest.
Preparation of test questions is
the responsibility ofAADE.
Departments
Articles concerning the application
of principles and concepts in
nutrition, pharmacy, psychosocial
aspects of diabetes, research methodology,
professional growth and
development, and healthcare policy,
as well as letters to the editor are
published in specific departments.
Papers may be submitted to the individual
departments within The Diabetes
Educator and should be 4 to 8
double-spaced pages, excluding tables,
figures, and references.
Nutrition Update
These articles provide essential information
about diabetes and nutrition
for clinical practice. Papers might review
the current literature on a
