FW: Launch of new journal: Perspectives in Applied Academic Practice
I am very excited to announce the launch of a new open access peer-reviewed journal in academic Practice. The call for papers and reviewers for the first issue which launches in June is attached to this email.
The Journal of Perspectives in Applied Academic Practice aims to provide a supportive publishing outlet to allow established and particularly new authors to contribute to the scholarly discourse of academic practice (both generally and in their discipline area) through the publication of papers that are theory-based and supported by evidence, as well as through the publication of Opinion Pieces and ‘On the Horizon’ papers on emerging work.
In relation to the general ethos of the Journal of Perspectives in Applied Academic Practice, the journal provides a collegiate and developmental platform for new authors, those new to journal reviewing, and for scholars who are seeking to gain experience in journal editing and publishing.
This developmental ethos manifests itself in a range of activities and opportunities that currently include the following:
· Direct support for authors who are seeking to publish their first paper in one or more of the thematic areas of the journal, through assigning ‘critical friends’ from within the editorial team who will be happy to advise on the development of initial ideas for the formats of paper we publish. Prospective authors wishing to discuss an idea should in the first instance e-mail JPAAP@napier.ac.uk .
· Peer support for those new to reviewing The Journal of Perspectives in Applied Academic Practice welcomes academics with experience in the thematic areas of the journal, but who are new to the journal submission reviewing process, to become involved as reviewers for the journal. This will include an opportunity to work for an initial period of reviewing with a colleague who is already experienced as a reviewer.
· Editorial internships The journal will soon be offering editorial internships, normally for two years, for academics who are experienced in the thematic areas of the journal, have some publications of their own and experience as a reviewer, and who wish to develop knowledge and experience on the editorial side of journal publishing. Further information on our first round of editorial internships will be forthcoming.
· Special issues The Journal of Perspectives in Applied Academic Practice welcomes the opportunity to work alongside colleagues in the field to develop Special Issues of the journal dedicated to particular themes or emerging areas of work. Having a good idea for a special issue, and being willing to take on Guest Editor responsibilities for the special issue (with support provided from the regular Editorial Team for the journal), is much more important than prior editing experience.
This journal is a collaborative venture between Edinburgh NapierUniversity, University of Dundee and Aston University. You can follow the journal on twitter @JofPAAP

FW: HEA Journal for submitting articles to - Health and Social Care Education
Dear colleagues
I am pleased to let you know that I have assumed the role of editor-in-chief of the HEA's journal Health and Social Care Education. As a quick glance at the website will demonstrate, I am in the process of shifting the journal from its current position and scope by widening the international readership and submission, moving towards both a greater degree of focus in the kinds of submissions we are looking for, and a greater range. By the time of the publication of the Autumn issue we will be a fully peer-reviewed, online journal with articles grouped and accessible for type and with DOI attached.
http://www.heacademy.ac.uk/journals/hsc-education
I am issuing a call for submissions for the Autumn volume now and would welcome contributions either from you or your colleagues including students. The deadline for submission will be around the end of May.
You can find details of submissions on the (temporary) website. If you would like to discuss a possible submission please do get in touch.
All the best
