This Conference Proceeding follows the origin, content, and conversation that resulted from the Skills Development workshop offered by the leadership of Intersection: A Journal at the Intersection of Assessment and Learning at the 2025 Association for the Assessment of Learning in Higher Education (AALHE) Conference. The session, and this manuscript, aim(ed) to provide insights on how to increase scholarship and professional development in learning outcomes assessment and continuous improvement initiatives. Intersection, a peer-reviewed journal following a double-anonymous review process, considers articles exploring theoretical and conceptual frameworks, critical scholarly literature reviews, original research, and case studies. After identifying the gap in practice for assessment professionals, especially among AALHE members, in publishing scholarly articles detailing their innovative work in Intersection, this Proceeding details the manuscript journey from conceptualization and research design (including considerations for ethical human subjects research approval), to article drafting, submission, and the peer review process.
