Call for Submissions: Inaugural Issue – Transformative Social Impact: A Journal of Community-Based Teaching and Research – Mar 31

Posted by Transformative Social Impact on February 25, 2025

Transformative Social Impact is a multidisciplinary, practitioner-oriented academic journal dedicated to advancing community-engaged scholarship, teaching, and collaborative research for social change. Our mission is to connect researchers, educators, students, practitioners, and community stakeholders in their efforts to address complex social issues and drive transformative community impact. Our aim is to provide an accessible, jargon-free publishing space that bridges the gap between academic theory and community-based practice.

Through collaborative, reciprocal partnerships, Transformative Social Impact amplifies community-university engagement that transforms teaching, research, and service to address complex social challenges and promote equitable, sustainable change. We welcome submissions from researchers, educators, students, and community practitioners across a diverse range of disciplines.

Transformative Social Impact accepts submissions on a rolling basis, but for best consideration for the inaugural issue, please get submissions in by March 31. All submissions will undergo a rigorous peer review process. Detailed submission guidelines can be found on our website. We aim for rapid dissemination and accepted submissions will be published via online early access, with a target of May 2025 for the publication of the full inaugural issue.
