The following information pertains to The Nontrad Journal, a peer-reviewed journal published annually by The Association for Non-Traditional Students in Higher Education (ANTSHE). ANTSHE invites contributions from professional educators, academic administrators, leaders in education, and non-traditional students all around the world. Must be an active member of ANTSHE to submit an article for The Nontrad Journal.

The focus of The Nontrad Journal primarily aims to:

• provide an opportunity for our diverse group of members to share their knowledge, expertise, and research in the field of higher education, teaching, learning, as it pertains to non-traditional students.
• to design a peer-reviewed process that allows for the dissemination of a higher level of scholarly knowledge and expertise. 
• to create a research community consisting of scholars, leaders in education, and non-traditional students from all fields in academia and in higher education.

Currently, we consider articles that fall under two categories: research paper and review article. A detailed description of each is provided below. In addition, any article submitted for publication in The Nontrad Journal must meet appropriate guidelines and does not infringe upon laws pertaining to intellectual property or copyright.

Each article submitted will first be reviewed by the editor to determine if it is suitable and appropriate for The Nontrad Journal, and if it meets a high level of academic rigor and professionalism. The article will be reviewed to determine the type of article submitted and if it meets the guidelines for that type of article.

There are several steps involved in the review process. Once the editor has determined the appropriateness, quality of writing, the type of article and if it meets the appropriate guidelines, and is accepted, it proceeds on through the review process. Once the article has been reviewed it will either be accepted as is and will be considered "publishable", or it will be considered publishable pending revision "pending revision", or will be considered unsalvageable and will not be published or will otherwise be considered "unpublishable" and will be rejected.

ANTSHE welcomes global participation and encourages authors from different cultures, backgrounds and educational beliefs to share their works. Articles submitted for publication must not be under review or previously published elsewhere. Articles submitted must adhere to the article submission guidelines below.
