25.012 - PDC17: Support for International Scholars Seeking to Publish in English-medium Journals

Sat, April 6, 8:00am to 12:00pm, Metro Toronto Convention Centre, Floor: 600 Level, Room 602A

Session Type: Professional Development Course

Abstract

This four-hour mini-course is designed to provide professional development for international scholars who conduct educational research and wish to publish their work in top-tier, English-medium journals based in the United States. Participants will hear from and interact with the editors from the top U.S.-based empirical journals focusing on mathematics education (Journal for Research in Mathematics Education), science education (Journal of Research in Science Teaching), language arts education (Research in the Teaching of English), and social studies education (Theory & Research in Social Education). The editors will share general ideas for success in academic publishing, but they will also identify and address specific issues related to international scholars publishing in English-medium journals, as identified in the literature. Topics that will be covered in the mini-course include: 1) general information about publishing in top-tier academic journals; 2) tips to help improve participants’ odds of being successful in the publication process; 3) the unwritten norms of publishing in English-medium, U.S.-based journals; 4) personal experiences of scholars who have been successful in publishing in English-medium journals; and 5) an understanding of editorial decision letters—what they mean and how to respond to them
