The SUP editorial team is actively seeking proposals for 2023 themed issues. An issue should include six to ten articles. A maximum of three articles in each issue can be invited; all others must be considered via a peer review process. These articles can be research articles, practitioner papers, or conceptual papers. Each themed issue will require a guest editor or a pair/team of guest editors. The themed issue will be published by Emerald Publishing.
Guest editors should submit a proposal that includes the following:
- Introduction of Guest Editor(s): Describe your relevant professional experiences, particularly with regard to editing peer-reviewed manuscripts and with regard to your proposed theme.
- Rationale for the Theme: Share why this theme important and timely or relevant to NAPDS members and to the fields of school-university partnerships, PDSs, and teacher education.
- List of Potential Authors (4-6): When compiling the list, consider individuals able to write effectively to meet the wide range of SUP readers. Articles need to accessible, appropriate, and applicable to a diverse audience. Likewise, be sure that authors are representative of the association’s members. Actively seek out authors who are not from your institution or affiliated with your institution’s partnership(s).
- A List of Potential Article Topics: Please provide a list of potential topics that would be appropriate to the proposed issue theme, with each accompanied by a few descriptive sentences.
Please submit themed issue proposals to SUP at David.Hoppey@unf.edu by Monday, February 20, 2023.
A decision regarding the selected proposal(s) will be shared with guest editors by Monday, February 27, 2023, so that calls for articles can be sent to the NAPDS membership in a timely manner. SUP anticipates the publication of at least one themed issue per year. The full cycle of proposal acceptance through issue publication will occur during a less than one-year span.
Please contact David Hoppey, Co-editor, at David.Hoppey@unf.edu with any questions about this exciting opportunity.
