Connections to and implications for student learning outcomes, campus missions, strategic plans, and government/ governing board mandates or initiatives are especially helpful. Evidence of innovation must go beyond simple measures of satisfaction and, instead, illuminate effectiveness and usefulness. These illustrations are to be grounded in theory, research, and/or pedagogy as well as convey relevance beyond the institution(s) of the author(s). Innovations in Practice Features: Manuscripts submitted for review in this area of emphasis should describe high-quality illustrations of effective, creative, and collaborative practices, programs, or policies. We invite manuscripts that challenge readers to examine and embrace global competencies and skills needed to become active participants in the worldwide transformation. Findings and recommendations should provide new knowledge on ways to internationalize campuses. A clearly articulated relationship among theory, research, and practice is encouraged. Manuscripts submitted for review in this area should include cutting-edge research on current international issues impacting higher education and student affairs. Definitions of internationalization and globalization are evolving in complexity and perspective, demanding a continual examination of how students are prepared to work and thrive in ever-changing climates. International Features: The traditional boundaries of the higher education and student affairs field are rapidly expanding with international trends and developments. Literature reviews and essays that connect current issues with practice, propose creative models for student affairs practice, or discuss innovative uses of theory are welcome. The manuscripts should provide a unique perspective on current issues impacting our institutions and students. The manuscripts should be methodologically sound with a clearly defined practice section in which the author(s) shares how the research relates to college or university functioning (e.g., policy issues, community engagement, management, organization, student engagement) and/or how the findings can be used in the practice of administrators, faculty, and students. Innovations in Research and Scholarship Features: Manuscripts submitted for review in this area may include qualitative and quantitative manuscripts that clearly provide a theory-research-practice connection. Areas of EmphasisĪuthors are encouraged to consider the foci outlined below as they prepare and submit manuscripts to JSARP: We will experiment with scholarship that interrupts the traditional higher education dialogue publish unique and sometimes unsettling ideas and discuss topics that challenge the traditional higher education perspectives. Especially encouraged are manuscripts that are unconventional in nature, as well as those that blend conventional and unconventional scholarly approaches that challenge the traditional paradigm of research methods, analyses, and presentation of data. While the JSARP Editors appreciate traditional scholarship, we also welcome and will publish articles that move audiences beyond the commonly accepted or expected discourses. We seek to review manuscripts and publish articles that are innovative, imaginative, and forward thinking regarding issues that impact the student affairs field. JSARP seeks to publish practice articles that are firmly grounded in research and literature and research articles that speak to practice.
