Hello and happy new year to readers of EduResearch Matters, the blog of the Australian Association for Research in Education. We celebrated ten years of publication last year and again, we want to thank our wonderful founding editor, Maralyn Parker.
This year, we begin our regular publication schedule tomorrow, Tuesday, January 21. Once again we will be publishing twice a week.
We look forward to receiving contributions from educational researchers in Australia who have an affiliation to a university.
We accept a wide range of posts, from responses to policies, conversational pieces about your own research, opinion pieces, reflections on your own practice. Just had a new publication? Write a short description, just as if you were telling a non-academic what your research is about.
You can write on your own or with co-authors.
Timing? It’s not always possible for your contribution to be published quickly but please let me know if you have timing needs.
We welcome articles of around 1000 words (there is no strict limit). If you are a new contributor, please read THESE NOTES all the way to the end.
If you blog about research, the best way to make sure that your post gets picked up by Altmetric is to include a direct link to scholarly publications. You can include a link to publications in a variety of different formats including direct links via DOI, the publisher site, or even the repository. For example:
- A link to the DOI URL. e.g., https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-10-0628-9
- A link to the journal article on its publisher website. e.g., https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s13384-016-0221-8
Got an idea? I’m always happy to help you refine your idea. You can email me jenna@aare.edu.au
