Journal of Women and Gender in Higher Education

Supporting the Profession Womxn in Student Affairs Mid-Level

Journal of Women and Gender in Higher Education publishes scholarship that centers gender-based experiences of students, faculty, and staff while examining oppression, including but not limited to patriarchy, sexism, trans* oppression, and cisnormativity as they intersect with other systems of domination. We are particularly interested in manuscripts that not only focus on a gender-based group but also critically interrogate the ways in which gender has been used as a construct to limit opportunities and shape outcomes and experiences. The journal publishes high-quality and rigorous scholarship that can be used by NASPA members and others to transform daily practice, research, and the field of higher education.

Aims and Scope

2019 CiteScore: 0.1 - values from Scopus

Journal of Women and Gender in Higher Education publishes scholarship that centers gender-based experiences of students, faculty, and staff while examining oppression, including but not limited to patriarchy, sexism, trans* oppression, and cisnormativity as they intersect with other systems of domination. We are particularly interested in manuscripts that not only focus on a gender-based group but also critically interrogate the ways in which gender has been used as a construct to limit opportunities and shape outcomes and experiences. The journal publishes high-quality and rigorous scholarship that can be used by NASPA members and others to transform daily practice, research, and the field of higher education.  

At JWG we recognize and honor language that is self-identified instead of ascribed language or identifiers. As such and in accordance with APA 7th edition guidelines, JWG expects authors to carefully interrogate the conflation between sex and gender. In most cases, and especially for this journal, social scientists are interested in questions of gender and gender expression (e.g., women, feminine, genderfluid), rather than sex (e.g., male, intersex). We recommend that all authors and review board members familiarize themselves with information regarding the conflation and assignment of sex and gender as well as identity and assignment found in the APA manual (see p. 139). 

Submission Guidelines

Articles

Research Paper: Manuscripts that use empirical methods to answer a significant question about students, administrators, or faculty. Journal of Women and Gender in Higher Education accepts manuscripts based on both quantitative as well as qualitative research and manuscripts that are about pedagogy as well as student, faculty and administrator experiences. Undergo blind review.

Scholarly Essay: A scholarly essay uses the literature to address an important problem related to women or gender in the academy. A scholarly essay may also critique existing ideas or practices. Such an essay will be evaluated based on its importance and logical development. Undergo blind review.

Program Descriptions

Program descriptions are brief 1,000 word descriptions of innovative or particularly effective programs serving women or another gender-based group in higher education. They should include a description of the program with enough detail that someone could replicate it on their campus. Also, authors should include details about the methods that were undertaken to assess it. Program descriptions typically undergo editorial review but may be sent for blind peer review at the discretion of the editors.

Media Reviews

Commissioned by the editors, media reviews (e.g., books, films, podcasts) undergo editorial but not peer review. Unsolicited media reviews may be submitted with prior approval from the editor.

Scholarship can exist in various media. Understanding this and that there are instances in which issues of women and gender in higher education are presented in digital media, film, television, podcasts, music, and other creative arts, the journal invites the scholarly review of media to demonstrate the contributions of knowledge production in forms of public scholarship, discourse, and representation.

Media reviews undergo editorial but not peer review. Each media review will be evaluated based on its importance, logical development, contribution to scholarly conversations regarding women and gender in higher education, and cohesion.

Both book and media reviews should be no more than 4 pages, inclusive of tables, figure captions, footnotes and should contain an abstract of less than 150 words. Abstracts should describe the review's approach and intent, along with a brief statement describing the contribution of the media to existing women, gender, and higher education scholarship. 

Style Guidelines

All manuscripts must follow American Psychological Association (APA) style. Most manuscripts are typically between 25 and 30 pages, double-spaced, in 12-point Times New Roman font. Page length includes tables and figures, but does not include title page, abstract, or references.

Manuscript Review Process

Manuscripts are judged using a blind review process, each by at least two reviewers. The genre of the paper is taken into consideration when being critiqued. Criteria related to some modes of inquiry are noted below, but these are suggestive, not definitive or exhaustive.

Research Paper: Consider the use of theory and the available literature; the design, sampling, and data gathering procedures; appropriateness of the method for the question; the treatment and interpretation of data; the importance of results; the practical and substantive implications of results.

Practice Paper: A practice paper is a manuscript length description and evaluation of a novel issue, program or approach to professional practice in postsecondary education. Undergo blind review. 

Scholarly Essay: Consider the importance of the problem, thoroughness of coverage of relevant literature, and logical development of the essay.

Program Description: Consider the adequacy of the description of the practice or program, the uniqueness of the case, the method for gathering data about the program, the implications of the program for other colleges and universities.

Each manuscript is evaluated on the paper's form and content. Form includes writing style and readibility, logical development, length, and relation of author's objectives to those appropriate for the genre. Content includes originality of topic or approach, significance of the subject, and significance to the readers. The manuscripts published in the Journal of Women and Gender in Higher Education are selected by the editors in consultation with the reviewers.

How to Submit

All manuscripts must be submitted online through the Journal of Women and Gender in Higher Education ScholarOne Manuscript Submission Site.
