Context

To Improve the Academy (TIA) is the flagship peer-reviewed publication of the Professional and Organizational Development Network in Higher Education (POD Network). TIA, an open-access, electronic journal, is focused on faculty, graduate student and professional student, instructional, professional, and organizational development. TIA publishes two issues annually, with occasional special issues responsive to the profession and moment.

TIA was first published in 1982 as a printed, edited book with the title To Improve the Academy: Resources for Faculty, Instructional, and Organizational Development (Jossey-Bass). In 2013, it moved to an electronic-only format with a revised title, To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development (Wiley). Articles published when it was a print publication (i.e. 2013/Volume 32 and earlier) are cited as book chapters, and those published after 2013/Volume 33 are cited as journal articles.
