The Journal of Scholarly Engagement (JSE) publishes engaged scholarship, scholarly work that bridges theory and practice by integrating research with community engagement to address real-world challenges and promote collective well-being. Guided by values of integrity, innovation, excellence, and global awareness, JSE features work that fosters inclusive collaboration and contributes to human flourishing across local and international contexts. 

Scope 

Inspired by Boyer’s vision of applying disciplinary knowledge to practical problem-solving, the JSE highlights scholarship that intentionally integrates theory, research, or reflective analysis with community-engaged practice conducted in partnership with educational, professional, or community-based stakeholders. The journal prioritizes manuscripts that address clearly articulated real-world challenges through rigorous, reflective, or evidence-informed approaches. 

Submissions must demonstrate a clear scholarly contribution by informing practice, evaluating engaged initiatives, or generating transferable insights relevant to educational, professional, or community–institutional contexts. All manuscripts should include critical analysis, integration of relevant literature, or systematic inquiry appropriate to the manuscript type. 

We publish four types of manuscripts: 

• Reflections 

• Community Engagement 

• Interdisciplinary Problem-Solving 

• Empirical Studies
