Draft Standards for Reporting on Research Methods - Now Available
A message from AERA Executive Director, Felice J. Levine
Dear AERA Members:
As bags and boxes are being closed and as all of us (members, staff, and participants alike) depart for the Annual Meeting, I want to take a moment to wish everyone safe travels. This year’s Annual Meeting in San Francisco is already the largest ever based on pre-registration, and we are expecting one of the very best. The level of intellectual engagement and energy is palpable. I know everyone on staff has done—and is dedicated to doing all that we can do—to make the meeting a major success.
Before you depart, I want to again call your attention to the Town Hall Meeting to discuss the draft Standards for Reporting on Research Methods. In my March column in the Educational Researcher ( http://eloop.goldlasso.com/redir.php?s=4719&u=2549258&f=2&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.aera.net%2FuploadedFiles%2FPublications%2FJournals%2FEducational_Researcher%2F3502%2F08ERv35n2_FromTheDesk.pdf ), I talked about the work of the Task Force on Reporting of Research Methods in AERA Publications and encouraged attendees to come to the Town Hall Meeting scheduled for Sunday, April 9th at 2:15-3:45pm in Moscone Center South, Esplanade Ballroom, Section 309. I also indicated that the Task Force planned to post a draft for wide distribution and comment before the Annual Meeting as well as distribute it onsite in San Francisco.
I am pleased to announce that, with the excellent support of the AERA Information Technology staff, the draft Standards are now available at http://eloop.goldlasso.com/redir.php?s=4719&u=2549258&f=2&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.aera.net%2F%3Fid%3D1194. Also, and equally as important, the Task Force seeks comments and has launched an Open Comment Period through April 30, 2006. The Task Force will then undertake a further revision and submit recommended draft Standards for Reporting on Research Methods for Council review and action in June 2006.
There are many other highlights of the Annual Meeting and the Association. I wanted, however, to announce the availability of the draft Standards, the Open Comment Period, and the Town Hall Meeting to contribute to this effort as the Task Force continues and completes this work. Many thanks in advance.
Cordially,
Felice
