New Issue: Journal of Higher Education Outreach & Engagement

Posted by on November 21, 2010

Kudos to the Journal of Higher Education Outreach & Engagement for converting to an open source platform (including all of its back issues!). We encourage other subscription-based journals that focus on community-engaged scholarship to follow suit!

The mission of the JHEOE is to serve as the premier peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary journal to advance theory and practice related to all forms of outreach and engagement between higher education institutions and communities.

This includes highlighting innovative endeavors; critically examining emerging issues, trends, challenges, and opportunities; and reporting on studies of impact in the areas of public service, outreach, engagement, extension, engaged research, community-based research, community-based participatory research, action research, public scholarship, service-learning, and community service.

The JHEOE invites manuscripts in four categories of exploration:

* Research Articles on studies of the impact university-community endeavors have on participating community, faculty, students, or staff members (Associate Editor KerryAnn O’Meara, University of Maryland);
* Practice Stories from the Field evaluating and analyzing practitioner experience (Associate Editor Scott Peters, Cornell University);
* Reflective Essays on current and emerging trends, perspectives, issues, and challenges (Associate Editor Hi Fitzgerald, Michigan State University); and
* Book Reviews on recently published works addressing community-higher education engagement and the practice of public scholarship (Associate Editor Ted Alter, The Pennsylvania State University).

The Guiding Principles for the JHEOE include high expectations for rigorous scholarship and clarity of presentation.
