Journal of Faith in the Academic Profession

Annual Report: July 22, 2022 - July 22, 2024

Introduction

The Journal of Faith in the Academic Profession is committed to exploring the intersection of faith and academics. Since its inception on July 22, 2022, the journal has aimed to foster a deeper understanding of how faith can be integrated into various academic disciplines. This annual report provides an overview of the journal's progress over the past two years, highlighting article downloads, engagement metrics, and insights gathered from our readership.

Editorial Activity

We have received 57 submissions in two years.  Most (34) of those submissions were accepted and published or are in the process of being published.  About 40% (23) articles were rejected, with most of those (14) being desk rejected.  The editors try to determine whether an article is a good fit for the journal before sending it out for review.  This helps authors by limiting the amount of time their manuscripts are in our system.   A quick desk reject allows the authors to submit their manuscript to a more suitable journal sooner.

The four published issues included 5 theoretical articles, 7 research articles, 9 practical articles, 10 reviews, and 1 invited essay.

Registration and Participation

We have a total of 171 registered users.  Most (132) signed up to review, but we do have strong numbers signed up as authors (68) and readers (67).  Registration is not required to read the articles.

Readership: Article Downloads

Over the past two calendar years (2022- 2024), abstracts in the journal have been viewed 6,714 times, and articles downloaded 6,391 times.  Excluding the editor’s introductions, that is 6,340 abstract views and 6,121 article downloads.  Excluding book reviews, article abstract views are 5,490, and downloads are 5,526.

On average, articles have been downloaded 325 times.  Important to note that is just on our site.  This does not count third-party downloads, such as Google Scholar and Research Gate.

Average readership has increased over the last two years.  The average monthly readership in the first year (July 2022 – June 2023) was 127 articles per month.  In the second year (July 2023 – June 2024), that increased to 410 articles per month.

Mun, S., & Bermejo, R. (2023). Faith integration and learning in classrooms. Journal of Faith in the Academic Profession2(1), 48-55.
