The journal’s vision is to publish the most rigorous, relevant, and well-respected research and practice making a difference in student affairs policies, practices and outcomes for students, staff, and faculty. JSARP especially welcomes manuscripts that advance the field in meaningful ways. JSARP encourages research and scholarly writing by faculty, administrators, and students through editorial feedback and development of current and future authors.

Members of the board will have the opportunity to review manuscripts alongside more seasoned reviewers and will gain an excellent introduction into the publishing process. An online training will be provided for all members, and each reviewer will receive feedback and support from the editor, associate editors, and assistant managing editor.
