Our Process

All article submissions are peer reviewed before publication. If you are interested in submitting an article, reach out to the appropriate Topic Area Coordinator (TAC) for available publishing dates. Articles are submitted to the appropriate TAC for initial review. Once the TAC and author agree on edits, the TAC will send it to the leadership team for final review and approval. All authors must be employed by an academic institution, and at least one author/co-author must be from the Southern region*.  Additional details about the submission process are available as pdf or MS Word.

*Southern Region States include Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Louisiana, Alabama, Virginia, Georgia, Kentucky, Florida, and Maryland.
