About the Journal

ALJ is a newly established, peer-reviewed journal that focuses on all issues pertaining to the learning, teaching, and research of academic literacy related matters in higher education. We welcome research-based, reflective, and theoretical papers with a strong emphasis on practical implication for classroom, curriculum, and academic and institutional development. Articles that make a significant contribution to the existing AL literature in higher education with novel findings will be considered. Papers should have a strong theoretical foundation and clear implications for practice and policy. The Academic Literacy Journal encourages submissions from all prospective authors, especially disciplinary specialists, writing centre practitioners, and academic literacy practitioners in higher education.
