Faculty Publications on the Rise Our strategic plan calls for faculty to become more proficient in publishing their work. It is a responsibility of faculty to create new knowledge and the responsibility of professionals to disseminate the knowledge they create. The highest form of dissemination is through peer reviewed venues, most often through publication in a professional journal. The process is not easy! It takes months to have a manuscript reviewed by peers. Frequently changes and edits are needed before the manuscript is accepted. Then we wait months for the manuscript to actually show up in print. I am very proud of the progress we have made in getting manuscripts accepted for publication in peer reviewed journals. This shows the growth of our faculty.
