Editorial Policy

Composition Forum is a peer-reviewed journal for scholars and teachers interested in the application of composition theory to the teaching of writing. The journal focuses on articles that explore the intersections of composition theory and pedagogy, including essays that examine specific pedagogical theories or describe classroom practices, methodology, and research. Also featured are articles on the application of interdisciplinary approaches to teaching writing, including issues of workplace, multiple, political, critical, and computer literacies; graduate and undergraduate education; literature and writing; and cultural studies. Composition Forum also publishes articles that describe specific and innovative writing program practices and writing courses, reviews of relevant books in composition studies, and interviews with notable scholars and teachers who can address issues germane to our theoretical approach.

All articles published in Composition Forum are subject to rigorous peer review by at least two reviewers who are experts in the topical area.
