About Campus: Enriching the Student Learning Experience
Submission Guidelines: Why We Make These Requests

Please read this short rationale before carefully reading the Submission Guidelines (PDF).

In the Submission Guidelines (PDF), you will find specific requests regarding writing style, language usage, how to reference sources in the text, etc. In asking you to use these approaches, we are not simply asserting our preferences or insisting on a superficial point of style. Instead, we call your attention to these guidelines so you will write in a way that will make your essay accessible to a broad range of readers - the diverse group of educators who read About Campus. We have found that this approach allows authors' messages to be more easily understood by people from different academic and administrative backgrounds.

This is an unfamiliar approach for many authors. In addition to making the editing and revising process smoother for you, we hope that writing in this style will also provide the occasion to reexamine how you adapt your writing to reach out to different audiences, and (in regard to referencing practices) to consider alternative ways to draw on sources when presenting ideas and information. We realize that this is a distinctive style and that it is NOT the style used in most academic journals (e.g., APA or MLA styles). We use this style because it reflects our purpose and helps us achieve our mission.

About Campus is a magazine designed to serve as a forum for thoughtfully examining the issues, policies, and practices that influence the learning experiences of college students. As such, it speaks to an audience that goes well beyond student affairs professionals to include all those on campus who are concerned with student learning. To speak effectively to such a broad array of people and to draw them into a discussion of the issues that affect student learning, we encourage authors to use strategies such as the following:

  1. frame issues quickly and effectively to attract readers' attention;

  2. develop ideas and present information clearly and dynamically; and

  3. reveal implications of the work for a wide range of readers.

We are not looking for "academic articles" as traditionally defined. We are looking for articles, including those from academics, that share important discoveries and insights into what makes campuses good places for students to learn, and what can be done to make them more effective learning environments. Please keep this imperative in mind as you craft your article.

For this reason, you will notice when you read the Author Guidelines, we ask that you approach references in what may be an unfamiliar way. Like other magazines that publish serious nonfiction for a general audience, we ask authors to be selective in their use of references and to identify fully all references within the text of the article. (This style is explained more fully in the Author Guidelines.) Why is this important? We have found that when authors rely on an academic reference style, it can interfere with their success in reaching out to a broad audience. It can encourage attention to details that may not be important to people outside of the author's particular field. Also, because it doesn't require that authors explain the implications of the reference, it doesn't help those who are unfamiliar with the particular sources or who may not have the time or interest to seek out the listed sources to understand how it fits into the argument the author is making.

Listed below are the various kinds of articles we publish in About Campus. We hope this will help you understand better the range of articles and writing we are offering readers.

Features--The lead articles address a variety of trends and issues affecting undergraduate education. Authors are typically invited to submit essays for feature articles on issues of interest to educators in colleges and universities who care what and how college students learn. We try to publish manuscripts that reflect a wide variety of perspectives, topics, institutional contexts, and types of students served.

Electronic Campus looks at the impact of technology on the teaching/learning process and on the delivery of electronic and telecommunication services.

Editor:
John Harwood, The Pennsylvania State University, jth@psu.edu

In Practice illustrates innovative campus programs that foster student learning. Describing unique and/or particularly successful programs or services in a college or university setting, each article typically includes practical details of implementation such as staffing, personnel, and evaluation.

Editor:
Patricia W. Johnson, University of Georgia, pwjohn@arches.uga.edu

What They're Reading alerts readers to media that have piqued the interest of higher education professionals and that provide insight into the issues affecting student learning. Books, resource manuals, movies, and videos are discussed in this department. The primary audiences of works reviewed here range from college students to faculty to professional staff to parents. Editor: Susan Komives, University of Maryland-College Park, sk22@umail.umd.edu

Bottom Line provides a forum for addressing controversial issues by highlighting a mandate for action through educational leadership. Placed last in each issue, presentation may take the form of a brief view by a leading authority about the essential things to know about her/his specialty, or a personal take on a broad issue.

Editor:
Patricia King, Bowling Green State University, pking@bgnet.bgsu.edu

We would like to thank you for your interest in writing an article in About Campus. Please review the Author Guidelines carefully and contact us if you have any questions. We look forward to receiving your submission and working with you on developing your essay.

      National Social Science Press as a faculty venture to provide low cost
quality texts to students in a digital format with a free print edition is
now entering its fifth year. Studies clearly reveal that students are being
hurt by the high cost of textbooks and that more and more publishing
companies are moving forward with digital texts. National Social Science
Press has researched printed textbooks that now average $120 and the desire
among students for more digital material along with student learning styles.
The final result is the creation of an interactive digital text with
embedded videos and audio and slide shows with music and words that link to
websites along with a free printed text student supplement at a very
reasonable price.  http://www.nsspress.com

The International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education (ISSN 1812-9129) provides a forum for the dissemination of knowledge focused on the improvement of higher education across all content areas and delivery domains. The audience of the IJTLHE includes higher education faculty,
staff, administrators, researchers, and students who are interested in improving post-secondary instruction. The IJTLHE is distributed electronically to maximize its availability to diverse academic populations, both nationally and internationally.
All manuscripts submitted to the IJTLHE should be in accordance with the journal’s purpose - to encourage the study, development, application, and evaluation of higher education pedagogy. All manuscripts are refereed (blind) using a peer-review process involving at least two reviewers. The
review process typically takes four weeks.
The focus of the International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education is broad and includes all aspects of higher education pedagogy, but it focuses specifically on improving higher education pedagogy across all content areas, educational institutions, and levels of instructional expertise. Manuscripts submitted should be based on a sound theoretical foundation and appeal to a
wide higher education audience. Manuscripts of a theoretical, practical, or empirical nature are welcome and manuscripts that address innovative pedagogy are especially encouraged.

TYPES OF MANUSCRIPTS
Research Articles: Research articles include 15-25 page manuscripts (4,000 - 7,000 words) that are
theoretical or empirical in nature. Research articles are to be well grounded in the relevant literature and
present knowledge, methods, and insights relevant to higher education pedagogy. The broad scope of
the journal and its diverse readership necessitates that research articles address issues that have a
wide appeal and significance to higher education practioners.
Instructional Articles: Instructional articles are 5-15 page manuscripts (1,500 - 4,000 words) designed
to explain and clarify innovative higher education teaching methods. Instructional articles, while
grounded in the literature on higher education pedagogy, focus on the explanation of tentative,
emerging, or alternative teaching methodologies, rather than the strict reporting of empirical data.
Review Articles: Review articles are 3-5 page manuscripts (1,000 - 1,500 words) that include
commentaries and evaluations of recently published works - books, articles, or web sites - related to
higher education pedagogy.

http://www.isetl.org/ijtlhe/  ). Prior to submitting a manuscript, please read carefully the Submission
Guidelines. Do not send submissions by email or postal mail.
REVIEW PROCESS
Upon submission, all authors will receive an acknowledgement of receipt. Following a brief editorial
review, each manuscript will be blind reviewed by two members of the Review Board. The review
process will take approximately 4 weeks. At the end of the four-week review process authors will be
notified as to the status of their manuscripts.
