Abstract
The differences between regularly published practice papers and evidence-based Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) manuscripts as preferred publications are outlined and discussed in this editorial. By examining the literature and backstory of SoTL, clear guidelines for well-designed research studies supported by evidence provide compelling reasons for SoTL papers to contribute to international knowledge, change thinking, advance practice in higher education and meet the aims of scholarly academic journal. The types of evidence that can be used are described, and a practical checklist for authors to benchmark their manuscript against SoTL principles is also offered as a hands-on tool for improving manuscript submissions. Studies based on evidence and scholarship establish credible, valid, and current knowledge through defensible theoretical frameworks and systematic methodology. Scholarly studies not only contribute to knowledge, improve practice, advance pedagogy, and inform policy but also drive significant change in international higher education contexts
