Educational Materials

Educational material pages can only be created and edited by website administrators. Need a page created or edited? Submit work requests through Support Tracker, selecting ‘Publications’ under ‘Request Type’.

Peer-reviewed

Read Cooperative Extension’s Publication Procedure for information on submitting peer-reviewed work. The Extension website does not host drafts or preprints of peer-reviewed work.

Non-peer-reviewed

Authors can publish fact sheets, at a glance articles, short guides, etc. that summarize existing research and provide geographic (state, region, county) context useful to the public. We suggest that content is written for a 5th-8th-grade reading level. This type of content does not require peer review before being published as an educational materials on the Extension website.

Expectations

  • Authors are responsible for securing appropriate usage permissions for all photos and graphics presented in the work.

  • Website administrators edit content t for flow and adherence to the University of Arizona’s Written Style Guide.

Submissions

Style considerations

Linking to publications. When linking to other publications on the Extension website, use extension.arizona.edu/publication-title-goes-here and not the full url address. This will reference the node, meaning link won’t break if the title or location is changes.

When refrencing publications in a pdf file, always reference the UA Campus repository link as this is a perma link. Make sure to use permalink and not the direct link to the PDF or web address of the page. Again, this ensures that the file will always be referenced. Publications should have a QR code to the campus repository so people can look up publication by az number

Use sentence case for publications. This includes title and subheadings for each section to be in line with APA style.
