Middle School Journal

First published as the Midwest Middle School Journal in 1970, the Middle School Journal (MSJ) is one of two scholarly publications of the Association for Middle Level Education (AMLE). The journal is accessible in print and online to nearly 30,000 members of the association. Beginning in October of 2015, the actual publication of the journal will transfer from AMLE headquarters to Taylor & Francis, the publisher of some 700 peer-reviewed journals in the United States alone and more than 2,100 worldwide. All editorial decisions have been, and will continue to be, determined entirely by the AM-LE-appointed editor(s) and a blind peer review process of experts in the field. Currently, the journal has an acceptance rate of approximately 20–25%.
