Reflections on Research in Academic Journals

What is the process for selecting and publishing manuscripts for each journal? School Library Research: The editorial board members (15 members) review the articles and consult on the policies and guidelines for the review process.

The purpose of this journal is for an open discussion, so members can sign in and comment on the articles within. They publish original research and literature reviews.

9 Elements of Digital Citizenship

I am taking DigCit this semester. I hope to add many more resources, lessons, and discussions this semester.
