College Teaching provides an interdisciplinary forum on issues related to teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels. This journal is interested in articles that explore: (1) aims and outcomes of teaching philosophy and practices that have significance beyond a specific discipline, including teaching of techniques, new classroom procedures, evaluations of innovative programs, and examination of contemporary developments; (2) teachers' roles, education, professional development, preparation to teach, and evaluation; and (3) incentives that encourage good teaching and ways good teaching is evaluated and rewarded. The editors welcome thoughtful reactions to articles appearing in the journal.

The journal welcomes articles on research in one field as long as it has applications to others as well. However, the journal cannot use: (1) articles that are purely descriptive without any critical evaluation or analysis, (2) those that are limited to one specific discipline, or (3) those that show no awareness of current work and literature in the field.

Articles range from 750 to 5,000 words, depending on the nature of the topic. Discussion of promising practices should be short, whereas articles on research material may be longer. Commentaries, of no more than 850 words, will be considered. The journal is refereed. Each article is read by two reviewers, with a total review time of three to four months. Accepted manuscripts usually are published within one year.

Manuscripts must be submitted exclusively to College Teaching. We cannot review—or publish—multiple submissions. Contributors should submit visit http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ct for submission information and guidelines.

The Chicago Manual of Style, 15th ed. (University of Chicago Press, 2003), should be used as a style reference in preparation of manuscripts. References at the end of the manuscript should be unnumbered and listed alphabetically according to the author's last name, followed by the year of publication, as in Smith, J. 1989. Citation in the text should list author, date, and applicable page numbers, as in (Smith 1989, xx).

Reproductions of figures (graphs and charts) may be submitted for review purposes, but must be supplied electronically, in their original source files, if the manuscript is accepted for publication. Tables should be prepared exactly or adapted as they are to appear in the journal. For tables reproduced or adapted from another publication, permission must be obtained by the author and noted on the manuscript.

Avoid explanatory notes whenever possible by incorporating their content into the text. For essential notes, identify them with consecutive superscripts and list them in a section entitled NOTES at the end of the text.

We reserve the right to make editorial changes in style and format.
