eJournal of Public Affairs at #ADP12

The eJournal of Public Affairs is a peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary, open-access journal published by Missouri State University and affiliated with the American Democracy Project. By providing an academic, nationally refereed venue for such work, the eJournal aims to advance the status of public scholarship.

There will be a number of sessions at the ADP 2012 National Meeting in San Antonio this week. Make sure to check them out!

I also encourage you to submit your own work for review by the eJournal. You might also consider submitting an application to review for the eJournal.

Editorial

Andrew P. Lokie, Jr. and Marc Cooper, Ph.D.
Jan 17, 2012 • Volume 1, Issue 1

Because the missions of the American Democracy Project and Missouri State University focus on civic education and engagement, it seemed natural for the ADP to partner with MSU to publish an academic journal focusing on the public scholarship. The eJournal of Public Affairs seeks to advance academic discussions arising out of attempts by universities to democratize their curricula and research programs.

The Civil Citizen

About the Journal

The journal is focused on scholarship related to engagement in the public arena and, in particular, to the following themes:

• Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, problem solving, and leadership related to citizenship and civic engagement
• Assessment of civic-engagement projects
• The relationship between social media (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, YouTube) and civic engagement

The journal publishes scholarly articles, with or without embedded multimedia in the articles, including research studies, best practices, reviews of the literature, and book reviews. The journal will also consider publishing scholarly and creative endeavors in alternate forms of media (e.g., videos). Please contact Andrew Lokie, Editor, eJournal of Public Affairs, or Marc Copper, Managing Editor, both at ejournalPA@missouristate.edu to discuss how to submit your materials to the eJournal.
