ABSTRACT
Case conferences are a great way to begin the publication process, as one exposes too many different cases, writing styles, and review styles. If one learns best in the physical company of others, consider making a case conference their first step toward publication. Case journals are rarely ranked because teaching cases are not generally cited in research manuscripts. Most journals have some sort of editorial review prior to sending the submissions out to reviewers who specialize in the disciplinary area of the case. Disciplinary-based journals often publish a teaching case in each issue. Pedagogy journals usually focus on papers about teaching methods, exercises to facilitate teaching, and how-to pieces. There are several journals that publish cases and case-related manuscripts exclusively. As a result, reviews are often complicated, shifting from disciplinary content to case structure to pedagogical value to basic writing skills. The most efficient way to review a case is to read the case and the Instructor's Manual concurrently.
