Professional Studies Review
Open Issue, Spring 2009

Professional Studies Review (PSR) is a refereed journal published by St. John's University in New York, devoted to the pedagogical needs and research interests of those working within career-oriented disciplines. The Review is currently accepting papers for its next issue scheduled for publication in late spring of 2009. Deadline for submission: April 15, 2009.

Purpose
Scholars and professionals are invited to submit articles that will provide readers with new and valuable research results, stimulate their thinking about developments in their fields, and provide a critical forum for further discussion and scholarship. We are especially interested in articles that explore issues which cut across specialized boundaries and which exhibit an awareness of recent research in a field.

Scope
The Review welcomes articles from a wide range of professional disciplines, including but not limited to, such fields of study as Criminal Justice, Health Services, Hospitality Management, Computer Science, Sports Administration, Television, Film, Legal Studies, Administration, and Journalism. Articles may either be theoretical, empirical, or experimental in their approach to their subject; all methodologies are acceptable.

Theme
For this issue the Review is especially interested in articles on technology and teaching but will consider articles on any topic of general interest to those working within the career-oriented fields mentioned above. Specific possibilities might include (but are not limited to) such issues as:

  • The scholarship of pedagogy
  • Academic reward systems
  • The image of professional studies
  • Professional development issues
  • International education                         
  • Intellectual property issues
