Abstract

The Journal of Advanced Technological Education (J ATE) special project was a one-year pilot funded through NSF’s DUE ATE program (DUE ATE 2325500) whose goal was to build a community of peer-reviewed published authors from technical and community colleges. The “publish or perish” academic aphorism of the 4-year university tenure system does not cross over to community colleges, and community college faculty face many barriers to pursuing scholarship. Two of this project’s objectives that directly impact two-year college faculty were 1) providing new writers with professional development interactions with experienced writing coaches to support them in writing and publishing their work in a peer-reviewed journal and 2) supporting faculty in developing and incorporating lessons into their community college research programs to enable their undergraduate research students to become peer-reviewed published journal authors. These objectives were implemented with two separate programs, called “J ATE Connect” and “J ATE URE” (Undergraduate Research Experience). The pilot focused on publishing in the J ATE journal, but the skills apply to other journals. We report on the successes and lessons learned from these two programs.
