Writing Center Journal

Aims & Scope

As the leading academic forum for writing center studies, WCJ seeks to publish innovative and rigorous research with an understanding of scholarly inquiry in writing centers as

• Broadly defined to include theoretical scholarship, research (empirical studies), historical inquiry, and guidance on all aspects of establishing and maintaining a writing center.
• Not privileging one method or methodology over another, but rather acknowledging that the diverse contexts in which we operate, the frameworks that guide our thinking, and our experiences and identities can 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.
