How Do I Submit To TRAILS?

Submitting resources for publication in TRAILS provides evidence of teaching excellence for promotion and tenure. It is also a great way to contribute to the collective endeavor of providing a sociological education to our students.

Submitting a resource to TRAILS is a simple process. Find instructions for submitting to TRAILS here.

Once a resource is submitted, it is reviewed by two TRAILS editorial board members. The review process usually takes 6-8 weeks. Editors have full discretion to interpret the criteria in making their decisions. You can track your submissions by logging in, clicking on your username on the TRAILS homepage and clicking on “My TRAILS” in the dropdown menu.
