Manifestation: Journal of Community Engaged Research and Learning Partnerships (ISSN 1913-651X) is was an open-access, electronic, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the conversations about how to most beneficially support and engage in community-based research, community-campus partnerships, service-learning, action research, and other inclusive methods and practices that build and empower our communities.
No funding - No Journal: RIP: August 13, 2009
Manifestation has been a volunteer effort. The burden of advertising, editing, responding to requests, and general support has however been carried mostly by the Editor - with some very appreciated help with reviewing and advertising by the Board and external reviewers - Thank you!
Despite numerous funding requests and the promising discussions with two potential new volunteer editors, I have been unable to secure any funding. I have spent almost $14k on travel to CBR related conferences, meetings, advertising, supplies, hosting, software, without a cent of external support. As a self-employed person, this has become too much of a burden.
As such, Manifestation will no longer be published. This is regretful and weighs heavily on my spirit. For those that know me, community-university research and participatory methods has been something I have been passionate about for several decades.
I wish to thank the volunteers and contributors. It has been an interesting and informative experiment.
Sincerely,
Peter Levesque, (former) Editor
