The Writing Center Journal

Aims & Scope

As the leading academic forum for writing center studies, WCJ publishes innovative and rigorous scholarship:

  • Broadly defined to include theoretical scholarship, research (empirical studies), historical inquiry, and/or guidance on all aspects of establishing and maintaining a writing center;
  • That acknowledges how the contexts in which we operate, the frameworks that guide our thinking, and our experiences and identities invite a plurality of appropriate ways of conducting research and scholarship;
  • Composed and reviewed by writing center people representing diverse expertise, experiences, identities, spaces, places, career trajectories, and languages;
  • Responsive to questions of the day;
  • Accessible to new audiences, in various formats, and via languages other than English (when possible) through collaborations with affiliate organizations in other nations/continents and by working with the IWCA Board to integrate support for publishing/reviewing within mentoring programs, conferences, and summer institutes.
