Dear THST Editors, Copyeditors, Reviewers, and those with other roles,

Please log-in and update your profile at your earliest convenience.  You can do this by logging-in, hovering over your user name in the upper right hand corner of the page and clicking on edit profile.  There you will see tabs across the top.  Open each tab to view the information on file and change accordingly.  Be sure to save your work. 

The most important information to include if you are a reviewer, is your reviewing interests/areas of expertise.  This is helpful when we are matching reviewers with manuscripts to be reviewed.

If you are asked to review, please be sure to respond right away as to your ability to do the review.  This will help the process move faster so that the author can revise as necessary while the work is still fresh in their mind.  This will also help us have a higher quality journal since authors like to submit to a journal with helpful feedback and short turn around times. 

Authors, we would appreciate a response about your intentions to resubmit as well.  We would like to go to a quarterly publication, but can only do this if we have excellent content ready to be published.

Please encourage your colleagues to review for and submit manuscripts of interest to Indiana science teachers to The Hoosier Science Teacher.  To register to do this, have them go to:  https://scholarworks.iu.edu/journals/index.php/thst/user/register  This is only if those who have not registered in the IU OJS system. 

Let me know if you have any questions, suggestions, or need additional information. 

Thank you for your service to Indiana science teachers.  Your work is appreciated and necessary for all Indiana citizens.

Teddie Phillipson-Mower, The Hoosier Science Teacher, HASTI Board
