We are delighted to let you know that the first issue of the International Journal for Students as Partners (IJSaP) was launched on 8th May 2017 at the International Summer Institute on Students as Partners at McMaster University, Canada (https://macblog.mcmaster.ca/summer-institute/).
The journal, which is hosted by McMaster University Library Press, is co-edited by students and staff/faculty from Australia, Canada, the UK, and the US.
In Issue 1 https://mulpress.mcmaster.ca/ijsap you will find an editorial, an opinion piece, 4 research articles, 3 reflective essays, 4 case studies, and 2 book reviews. Together these contributions have been written by 21 students and 28 staff/faculty from four different countries.
If you enjoy this first issue we hope you will support the journal in a variety of ways including:
- Writing for the journal in any of the genres we publish. Please contact us with your ideas. We encourage you to send us (ijsap@mcmaster.ca) your proposals for articles, case studies, or reflective pieces before you submit them.
- Reviewing for IJSaP. We will provide training for inexperienced reviewers. If you are interested, please complete the reviewer expression of interest form.
- Telling others about the journal and contributions that you find particularly interesting. E.g. Twitter: @InterJournalSaP
- Checking that your library lists IJSaP in their catalogue and knowing it is freely available from https://mulpress.mcmaster.ca/ijsap.
We welcome hearing your views about the journal. Please send us an email (ijsap@mcmaster.ca).
