Record submissions this month and record reviewer declines. If we've asked you to review, please say yes and submit on time. If you've submitted recently but haven't reviewed, please volunteer, to reciprocate the labor of those reviewing your work: https://t.co/YnyWW8Nar3

Check out Yamamoto et al's article "Faculty, Student, and Community Partner Experiences in Computer and Information Science Service Learning" in our latest issue. It teaches us the transformative potential of learning relational skills in service learning. https://t.co/il0staiVbT

[ACM TOCE @acmtoce]

TOCE is seeing a spike in submissions, from ~10-12, to 32 last month and 20 this month. So many wonderful discoveries! But that also means we're in need of Associate Editors and Reviewers. Write Amy for AE role interest or join our reviewing pool: https://t.co/w1Q7DFoAgw

If you have an opinion you'd like to share about this topic or others, just write the editor with a short pitch: https://t.co/wUCmciTGFD

[ACM TOCE @acmtoce]

We're launching a curated Opinion column, for scholarly discussion about computing ed research. Our first is from the excellent @moniqueross, who writes about epistemological inclusion in our field— it's a concise, potent, must-read for the field.

We've revised our reviewer volunteer page to make it clear we value research expertise independent of rank, role, or status — what matters is that you have expertise to share. Volunteer to help us address unprecedented reviewer shortages: https://t.co/y4F3VygM1I

@TheDavisJam @amyjko @joepolitz We've got a long road to walk before it happens... and we may not get there. But we have to try something; I don't think most realize how much peer review is in collapse right now.

[ACM TOCE @acmtoce]

We've added an exciting new Opinions submission category, specifically focused on amplifying unheard voices on topics of diversity, equity, and justice in computing education research and practice. More details here: https://t.co/wUCmciUevb
