Message from Chair of SIG Executive Committee
A message from Schuyler W Huck (huck@utkux.utcc.utk.edu) to SIG Officers (aera_sig_officers-announce@listserv.aera.net)
TO: All SIG Officers
FROM: Sky Huck, Chair of the SIG Executive Committee
SUBJECT: Submission Deadline and Session Allocation for Chicago Meeting
DATE: July, 17, 2006
If you have not done so already, you might want to send a message to the members of your SIG reminding them of two things: (1) the August 2nd deadline for submitting proposals for next spring's Annual Meeting in Chicago and (2) the new system of session allocation that will be used this year.
Regarding the submission deadline, SIGs can receive proposals up until midnight (Pacific Standard Time) on Wednesday, August 2nd. You might want to advise your colleagues that it's somewhat risky to wait until the evening of August 2nd to submit a proposal. For many reasons, it's best to get proposals in before "the last minute rush."
As for the new system of session allocation, each SIG's (and each Division's) slots at next spring's Annual Meeting will be based primarily on the number of proposals it receives. Every SIG will automatically receive 1 slot for its Business Meeting and 1 slot for a substantive session. Addition substantive sessions provided to each SIG will be allocated in a proportionate fashion after considering how many proposals the SIG receives versus the total number of proposals submitted collectively to all SIGs/Divisions. A SIG's allocation of roundtables will follow a sliding scale that's pegged to the number of substantive sessions it receives. (Regarding session allocation, there is a guaranteed "floor" for each SIG based on the number of members it has; for the vast majority of SIGs, however, this guaranteed minimum number of sessions will NOT come into play and cause an increase in the proposal-based allocation figure.)
This new method of session allocation was announced in the May issue of Educational Researcher (see pages 52 and 53). Moreover, I personally tried to alert all SIG officers to this change through an e-mail message I sent out back in January. Since then, some SIG officers have sent their own messages to members notifying them of this new procedure for determining session allocation.
Three features of the new allocation system ought to be clear:
1. No SIG will know its final allocation until the 3rd week in August (or sooner, if at all possible).
2. The number of proposals your SIG receives will influence greatly your session and roundtable allocations, especially if your SIG is small.
3. Every SIG can start planning now (if it hasn't done so already) on how it wishes to use its 1 guaranteed substantive session and its guaranteed Business Meeting.

AERA Reviewers - More Information
A message from Michelle L (phdmichelle@yahoo.ca) to CCGSE (ccse@mailman.srv.ualberta.ca).
Dear Friends,
Please find to follow information about being an AERA reviewer. I have received many emails with questions on the process and the like, consequently I decided to forward the information to everyone in case any of you were wondering about the same issues.
If you require any further assistance, please feel free to contact me. I will be back in North America as of Tuesday evening.
Best Wishes,
Michelle
AERA Information:
Please note that all interested individuals may become "volunteers" for one of three roles connected to the annual convention: reviewers, chairs, and or discussants.
To volunteer, one must access the All Academic submission system via the home page at: http://www.aera.net/
Members will need to enter their ID# and password to gain access. Non-members will need to apply, via the system, for an ID# and password. This process will be apparent once the individual signs into the system.
Members and non-members may become volunteers, and yes, this does apply to reviewers.
The actual selection of reviews is the prerogative of each unit program chair. There will be times that some program chairs may not select non-members, and there will be times that program chairs do not select graduate students. That decision is totally up to the program chair of each unit. Your colleagues need to know that volunteering does not necessarily mean being accepted.
The process in reviewing papers is simple. Each reviewer is assigned a submission proposal along with a criteria sheet - all done electronically via the all academic submission system. Again, each unit adjusts the criteria sheet to fit their unit. The volunteer is requested to review the submission using the criteria presented, within the time frame allowed.
Reviews are usually sent out during the month of August and must be completed and entered into the All Academic system by the deadline - around mid-September. Again, actual deadlines may vary from unit to unit, but usually everyone is give three to four weeks.
Canadian graduate students would be allowed to sign up as student affiliates. See below:
Associate Members: Persons interested in educational research who subscribe to the aims of the Association but do not qualify for voting membership may become associate members. No endorsement is needed. $110/year; $210/two years.
Student Affiliates: Any graduate student may be granted student affiliate status with the endorsement of a voting member who is a faculty members at the student's university. Students who are employed full-time are not eligible. Student membership is limited to 5 years. $25/year.
International Affiliates: Citizens of countries other than the United States who are interested in educational research are eligible to join this category. An international affiliate who is qualified to become a voting member may do so at any time. $90/year; $170/two years
Hope the above is of some assistance.2007 AERA Annual Convention Theme: "The World of Educational Quality:" Monday, April 9 - Friday, April 13, 2007 - Chicago, Illinois. For further information and periodic up-dates about the Annual Convention, please visit the AERA Web site at: http://www.aera.net

AERA SIG-Instructional Technology
Another message on behalf of another SIG, with timely information in it relevant to the Rural Education SIG as well (i.e., please note the information regarding the number of conference slots).
A message from Bill Kealy (wkealy@coedu.usf.edu ) to AERA_SIG_Instructional_Technology-Announce@listserv.aera.net
>>>> PLEASE DO NOT "REPLY" TO THIS E-MAIL <<<<<< href="mailto:wkealy@coedu.usf.edu" target="_blank">wkealy@coedu.usf.edu
Dear SIG-IT members:
At this time, many of you are busy preparing proposals for next year's AERA Annual Meeting. In that regard, please consider two requests:
1) Assist our efforts to increase SIG-IT membership, and
2) Submit your AERA conference proposals to SIG-Instructional Technology.
This year for the first time, both the size of a SIG and the number of proposal submissions it receives will determine the allocation of sessions (symposia, papers, roundtables, and posters) on the conference program. Therefore, by renewing your membership in SIG-IT and sending your proposal to it, you're helping the SIG warrant a greater number of opportunties to sponsor research presentations. Simply put, by helping your SIG, you help yourself.
With an active membership of 358, SIG-IT remains one of the largest Special Interest Groups in AERA (roughly seventh place out of 156 SIGs). Clearly, the possibility of being the largest SIG in AERA is well within our grasp. You can make a difference in giving SIG-IT national visibility. Many of our IT colleagues and professional associates would readily join SIG-IT...if they were just informed that such a group exists. If you know people in your workplace who are new to the IT field or have students in IT-related disciplines, please encourage them to join. Student membership in AERA is only $25 (remind them about the great Job Placement Center at the annual meeting!) and SIG-IT membership is only an additional $7.
You can now join AERA/SIG-IT or renew your membership online with a credit card.
If know people who are already members of AERA and want to join SIG-IT, tell them go to the Login page at https://www.aera.net/login.aspx?ReturnURL=/MemberNet/Default.aspx, click SIG Memberships, and then select Purchase Additional SIG Memberships. [NOTE THAT THE SAME PROCESS ALSO APPLIES TO THE RURAL EDUCATION SIG]
Once again, please consider sending your research proposals to SIG-IT. This is venue where you have the best chance of having your research understood and appreciated by reviewers who, like you, are instructional technology professionals.
Best wishes for your continued success,
Bill Kealy
Chair, SIG-Instructional Technology

Announcement of a New Journal - Grad Student Contribuitions Welcomed and Encouraged!
A message from D. Betsy Mccoach (betsy.mccoach@UCONN.EDU) to AERA-GSL Graduate Studies Discussion Forum (AERA-GSL@ASU.EDU)
Journal of Advanced Academics
A Journal for Scholars, Administrators, and Policy Makers
About JAA
JAA, a new quarterly peer review journal, focuses on research that supports and enhances advanced academic achievement for students of all ages. In particular, JAA publishes articles on advanced academic programs, as well as programs that prepare students to engage in high-level academics. There are a variety of ways that students are served by or are prepared for advanced academic programs. Articles may include
- reports on original research,
- project descriptions and evaluations,
- syntheses of the literature,
- program assessments, and
- theoretical or conceptual positions that relate to programs that increase academic achievement or prepare students for advanced academic opportunities.
Manuscript Submission Guidelines
Manuscripts are evaluated by three referees using a blind review process. All manuscripts and accompanying graphic files (saved as TIFF, JPEG, or PDF graphic format) must be submitted electronically at http://www.gifted.uconn.edu/jaa/index.htm
Typing. Acceptable formats for electronic submission are MSWord, PDF, and RTF (we cannot accept WordPerfect format). All text, including title, headings, references, quotations, figure captions, and tables, must be typed double-spaced with one-inch margins all around. Please employ a font size of 12 Times.
Length. Manuscripts should be between 10 and 25 double-spaced U.S. standard letter size (81/2" x 11") pages in length or between 2,500 and 6,000 words. In addition, include an abstract of 100 words or fewer, a listing of four or five keywords useful in indexing the manuscript, and a mailing address and brief biographical statement for each author (the word count should include all of these pieces). The first page of the article should contain the title, word count, contributor statements, and contact information for all authors. The contributors’ names and biographical statements should appear only on this page for purposes of blind review. The second page should begin with the title, abstract, and keywords. All references to authors should be replaced with the word Author throughout the manuscript.
Style. For writing and editorial style, authors must follow guidelines in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5th edition, 2001). The editors request that all text pages be numbered.
Abstract and Keywords. Manuscripts must include an abstract and a few keywords. Abstracts describing the essence of the manuscript must be 100 words or fewer. The keywords will be used by readers to search for your article after it is published.
Publication Policy
JAA policy prohibits authors from submitting the same manuscript for concurrent consideration by two or more publications. In addition, it is a violation of APA Ethical Principles to publish “as original data, data that have been previously published” (Standard 8.13). As this journal is a primary journal that publishes original material only, JAA policy also prohibits publication of any manuscript that has already been published in whole or substantial part elsewhere. Authors have an obligation to consult journal editors concerning prior publication of any data upon which their article depends. In addition, APA Ethical Principles specify that “after research results are published, psychologists do not withhold the data on which their conclusions are based from other competent professionals who seek to verify the substantive claims through reanalysis and who intend to use such data only for that purpose, provided that the confidentiality of the participants can be protected and unless rights concerning proprietary data preclude their release” (Standard 8.14). JAA expects authors submitting to this journal to adhere to these standards. Specifically, authors of manuscripts submitted to JAA are expected to have their data available throughout the editorial review process and for at least 5 years after the date of publication.

Statistics for June
As I mentioned in a post on one of my other blogs (see How Do You Say Good-Bye?) this has been a tough time for me, so the stats this month will be fairly bare bones (it also accounts for the lack of activity this past week)...
As of this moment there are 3884 hits to this blog based upon the straight counter. It read 2959 at the end of May. These hits came from 409 unique visitors: 389 first timers and 20 repeat offenders for an average of 13 visitors a day.
These visitors came from the United States, Canada, Spain, the Philippines, Nigeria, the United Kingdom, Australia, India, Jamaica, Egypt, China, Mexico, Hong Kong, Viet Nam, and Slovenia.
Until next month...
