HOW TO GET PUBLISHED - TIPS FROM JOURNAL EDITORS

摘要

Publication of scholarly work is an important aspect of a faculty position. Decisions regarding tenure and promotion include number and quality of publications in addition to teaching, research funding and service activities. Faculty members seeking to publish papers focusing on engineering education are somewhat limited in the journals they may submit their work to, and often find it difficult to publish education oriented work in more traditional research journals. This panel consists of the editors of the top engineering education journals currently in publication. They will provide their perspective on the types of publications their journals focus on, and provide an inside perspective on how to increase the chances of getting an article accepted. This paper presents the input received from four faculty members who "took a break" from their regular academic life. The panelists responded to a specified set of questions: The information provided can be utilized to encourage and support faculty members as they seek to publish their papers in premier engineering education journals.
