"The Journal of Applied Research in the Community College" (JARCC) actively seeks scholarly submissions on community colleges that originate from doctoral dissertations. Understanding the scope and complexity of community and junior colleges nationally requires multiple vantage points. Newly minted doctorates and doctoral candidates can provide a fresh angle on past, present, and future trends. The purpose of this article is to: (1) frame how authors can transform their dissertation research into peer-reviewed academic journal articles, and (2) describe JARCC's process for publishing such manuscripts.
