Call for Submissions
Journal of Nonprofit Innovation (JoNI) is an international, open-access, peer-reviewed journal that publishes research articles and thought papers focusing on community and global issues. JoNI accepts articles on a wide range of issues relating to the fields of community and global issues. Author(s) must submit their manuscripts electronically. JoNI strives to present articles and papers that are innovative, rigorous and concise.
JoNI editors are looking for academic articles and thought papers from individuals in the academic or the nonprofit communities to address topics related to community and global issues. We are looking for submissions that focus on current and/or innovative approaches to help nonprofit leaders improve their impact by integrating the information into practices on the ground.

When applicable, author(s) are encouraged to include a discussion of the practical application of the findings and ideas to nonprofit practitioners.
We welcome and encourage interested authors to send in their submissions through the Scholars Archive - a partnership with Brigham Young University.
