Submit an Article
The Journal’s primary goal is to allow the author’s perspective and voice to drive the article. Once published, the author will be recognized as the owner of the submission. Editors may suggest ideas for adding or developing an article, with the goal of improving the depth or breadth of the discussion; in each instance the author may choose whether or not to incorporate the idea.
