Editors and peer reviewers wanted
Join our editorial team
PJEAR is forming its first editorial board and pool of peer reviewers. We invite educators and researchers who care about practitioner research to help us build a journal that is rigorous, supportive and useful to schools.
We especially welcome teachers and school leaders who do action research themselves: your experience of classroom inquiry is exactly what our authors need from reviewers.
Who should apply
- Editorial board members: a doctorate in a relevant field, or substantial experience as an academic or practitioner with a record of research or publication.
- Peer reviewers: at least a master's degree, with expertise in a field the journal covers.
- Teachers, master teachers, school heads and supervisors who have carried out action research are warmly encouraged to apply.
- A commitment to fair, confidential and timely review, and to the journal's publication ethics.
Editorial board members
- Advise on the journal's scope, policies and direction
- Handle manuscripts in your area: initial screening, inviting reviewers and recommending decisions
- Review manuscripts when needed and suggest qualified reviewers
- Uphold the journal's double-blind peer review and publication ethics
- Encourage good submissions from your network
Peer reviewers
- Read manuscripts in your area of expertise, usually only a few a year
- Write a fair, constructive and confidential review within the agreed time
- Recommend whether to accept, revise or decline, with clear reasons
- Declare any conflict of interest, and decline invitations outside your expertise
- Check revised versions when asked
Recognition
- A certificate of recognition for your service
- Your name listed on the journal's editorial team page (masthead)
- A chance to support good research and practice in your field
- These are volunteer roles: there is no payment.
