This section interprets your findings, evaluates the hypotheses or research questions, discusses unexpected results, and ties the findings to the previous literature (discussed first in the Introduction).

Each table or figure should appear on its own page (i.e., don’t put more than one figure or table on the same page). Instead, simplify complex tables by making two or more separate tables. Instructions for authors and submission guidelines.

However, you can select another license to set access restrictions on your supplemental material if needed. Please indicate clearly that the material is intended as supplementary, and be sure that it is referred to within the text of the manuscript. This can be done in the same way as a figure or table by referring to the video or animation content and noting in the body text where it should be placed. Commentary articles are often extensions or reactions to positions put forward in viewpoint articles. Case studies, descriptions of clinical programs, and innovative clinical services and activities are among the possibilitiesA tutorial is an educational exposition covering recent literature on topics of interest to clinicians and other scholarsA technical report is a brief article describing a pretrial feasibility or pilot efficacy study that addresses important clinical questions (i.e., whom to treat with a given technology, when to treat, and for how long).A viewpoint includes scholarly based opinion(s) on an issue of clinical relevance that currently may be neglected, controversial, or related to future legislation, or could serve to update the readership on current thinking in an area.A commentary is a short, timely article that spotlights current issues of direct interest to the communication sciences and disorders community. Please secure and provide that signed consent.When publishing identifiable images, or video and audio recordings, from human research participants in ASHA journals, authors include a statement in the published paper affirming that they have obtained informed consent for publication of the images and/or recordings.The consent form should cover both image and voice of the person (if both are used); should specifically grant consent for submitting the recording for publication in a scientific journal; and should include online publishing if the recording and/or still images from it for purposes related to promotion of the published study.Take the success, visibility, and impact of your research to new heights with the ASHA Author Services Portal, powered by Editage.ASHA publishes four peer-reviewed scholarly journals and one peer-reviewed scholarly review journal pertaining to the general field of communication sciences and disorders (CSD) and to the professions of audiology and speech-language pathology. Examples of the types of material and file formats accepted may be found on the If you plan to take advantage of this service, then your data and other supplemental material must be submitted before your article is accepted. These journals are the American Journal of Audiology; American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology; Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research; Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools; and Perspectives of the ASHA Special Interest Groups.

Multimedia files included as Supplementary Content should be referred to at an appropriate place in the text. Instead, the journals now publish Special Issues when a group of articles is likely to be 10 or more in size or if there is a range of topics in a particular subject needing to be addressed. As a result, abstracts must be brief but also informative enough to be genuinely useful.ASHA recommends that abstracts be 150–250 words. Please note that this is just a general guideline.
