We share key insights from our experience as authors, educators, and members of the editorial board with The Canadian Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning that we hope will help authors better understand and navigate the path to publication. In writing a compelling story, we suggest that it is necessary to join a conversation with self, the scholarly community, and the journal. We unpack each of these dimensions and offer considerations on how to craft a powerful manuscript that could ultimately get published.  \nLe chemin qui mène à la publication est souvent long, émotionnel et déconcertant. Nous partageons des idées clés basées sur notre expérience en tant qu’auteurs, éducateurs et membres de l’équipe derédaction de La revue canadienne sur l’avancement des connaissances en enseignement et en apprentissage. Nous espérons qu’elles aideront les auteurs à mieux comprendre et à parcourir avec succès le chemin menant à la publication. Nous suggérons que pour rédiger un récit captivant, il est nécessaire de se joindre à une conversation avec soi-même, avec la communauté des chercheurs et avec la revue. Nous déballons chacune de ces dimensions et offrons des considérations sur la manièrede créer un manuscrit puissant qui pourrait être publié .  \nKeywords  \nacademic publishing, peer review, advice, scholarship of teaching and learning; publications académiques, évaluation par les pairs, conseil, avancement des connaissances en pédagogie  \nThis essay/essai is available in The Canadian Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning:  \n[https://doi.org/10.5206/cjsotl-rcacea.2020.2.9415](https://doi.org/10.5206/cjsotl-rcacea.2020.2.9415)  \nThe Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) has at its heart improving student learning. It contributes to this effort through careful scholarly inquiry into teaching and learning across disciplines within higher education. SoTL also includes as a key component communicating the results of a project or study. This is the purpose of publishing a SoTL paper: communicating the results of your study with a journal’s readers, some of who might want to use them to facilitate evidence-informed teaching and learning. There are three components to communication: the message, the sender, and the receiver. The sender needs to present the message in a form that the receiver will understand otherwise no communication has truly occurred.  \nThe majority ofSoTL authors have experience with writing in a particular discipline. There are certainly similarities between writing a SoTL paper and writing a disciplinary research paper:  \nthe research must be situated in a broader context, the data collection and analysis methods must be clearly presented so that the reader can judge the credibility of the results, and the discussion must","cbCaihvk5oqqlhZZ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihvk5oqqlhZZ","pdf",189738,"English","# Joining a conversation with self, the scholarly community, and the journal\n## Conversation with Self - Is My Manuscript Clear?","[{\"question\":\"What guiding idea does the essay use to help authors publish SoTL work?\",\"answer\":\"It frames publication as joining a scholarly conversation with self, the scholarly community, and the journal, emphasizing communication between message and audience.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the essay say SoTL writing differs from disciplinary research writing?\",\"answer\":\"It notes that SoTL communities are multi-disciplinary, so authors may need to provide more context for readers outside their specific discipline.\"},{\"question\":\"What advice does the essay give to improve manuscript clarity before submission?\",\"answer\":\"It recommends seeking thoughtful “critical friends” or colleagues to review the manuscript and revising multiple times so limitations and meaning are clear to others.\"}]","Joining a Scholarly Conversation - Publishing Your SoTL Work | PDF",1792082446,25]
