Where you publish your CURE and what is needed to publish depends on the goals of your CURE development.  If you wish to mainly share your efforts to foster other faculty’s ability to expose students to authentic research experiences, then you could choose venues described in “Curriculum Only”.  If you are documenting the effectiveness of your CURE, then consider journals listed under “Curriculum with (minimal) assessment”.  If your CURE implementation addresses research questions about student learning, skill development, or career outcomes, then you will plan rigorous assessment protocols for publishing in “Educational Research with CURE as the context” category.
