To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development is an electronic journal that seeks to advance excellence in research and practice in educational development.
As of April 2019, To Improve the Academy is being published by Michigan Publishing Services (MPS), an open-access division of the University of Michigan. We are in the process of moving our entire backfile over to the new platform meaning not only that the entire of history of TIA will be available online and for free, but that it will be in one spot, and that the PDFs of each article will be entirely searchable and screen-reader accessible!
At the same time, we are also moving all of our reviewer profiles and other records to the manuscript management platform used by MPS. If you or a colleague has a manuscript they are eager to submit, you may do so at https://tia.submittable.com/submit, though please keep in mind that we are still setting things up. For that reason, the automated responses and other such features are a bit bare bones–and, because we are setting up the review process, we are not quite ready to send articles out for review. However, we are happy to take submissions now and hold them until we are able to send them out.
Finally, we anticipate our first issue with MPS will be out in October/November 2019.
Once we get a bit more of the set-up completed, we will be issuing a call for an associate editor, for new reviewers, and for some exciting new parts of the journal. Stay tuned for more!
