| Guidelines for Writing Outside Peer-Reviews |
 |
If you have been invited to review an article that has been submitted for publication in Teaching Theology and Religion, we are requesting not only your general assessment of the article, but also your answers to the following questions:
- Does the article contribute significantly to an international discourse about teaching and learning in higher education?
- Does the article have a clear focus and are the arguments well-developed?
- Is the article clearly and engagingly written?
(Please email your comments and recommendations to Beth Reffett, reffettb@wabash.edu.)
It will be most helpful to us if you keep in mind the aims of Teaching Theology and Religion as you shape your opinion of the article. Those aims are:
- to sustain a level of discourse and quality that will establish teaching and learning as an equal partner in scholarly publication;
- to be accessible and of interest to the full range of persons teaching in the field of theology and religion and thus more broadly accessible than technical publications in educational theory, religious education, or philosophy of education;
- to bring into conversation and debate a variety of theories about and approaches to teaching and learning without privileging any one approach or publishing highly ideological and vitriolic articles which can only serve to shut down conversation.
After reading and formulating your opinion about the article, please choose one of the following recommendations. We especially appreciate a review that provides an overall assessment accompanied by a more detailed summary of the evidence supporting that assessment. If you recommend revisions, your comments (sent anonymously) could be very helpful to the author in that process.
Possible recommendations:
- Accept this article as submitted.
- Accept this article with minor or moderate revisions as indicated.
- After recommended revisions have been made, submit to be refereed again.
- This article is not appropriate for inclusion in Teaching Theology and Religion but is more appropriate for the following journal:
- Reject
Thank you for supporting the journal in this important way.
