In addition to a section that continues the journal's previous focus on Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) and continuing reviews of Books, Teaching Tools, and Educational Resources, the new team has put in place two new sections to broaden both the pool of potential authors for the journal as well as potential readers.Reflections on Teaching and the Academy: Submissions should be from experienced scholar-teachers that focus on reflections on timely and important teaching topics that include transitioning between institutional types, teaching underprepared students, preparing graduating students for teaching careers, and other issues.Table 1 JPSE Authors by Gender Gender Number of Authors Percentage Male 45 67% Female 22 33% Total 67 100% Table 2 JPSE Authors by Rank Position Number of Authors Percentage Professor 12 18% Associate Professor 21 31% Assistant Professor 19 28% Lecturer 2 3% Student 1 2% Administration/Professional 5 8% Other 7 10% Total 67 100% Table 3 JPSE Authors by Country Country Number of Submissions Percentage Australia 1 1 Belgium 1 2.5% Brazil 1 2.5% Japan 1 2.5% United States 36 90% Total 40 100% CONTENT AND TREATMENT OF MANUSCRIPTS Table 4 shows the percentage of articles submitted that were directed at being submitted as original articles (both SoTL and Political Science Instruction sections), review articles, reflection articles and one piece submitted as research note before the change in sections was fully publicized.
