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.
