to the Mid-Western Educational Researcher
As the new editorial team for the Mid-Western Educational Researcher,
we’d like to reconnect with those of you who have been involved with
the Mid-Western Educational Research Association in the past, as well
as those who may not know of this organization, and invite you to take
a look at the opportunities the MWER journal can provide.
MWER is an online peer-reviewed scholarly journal that publishes
articles examining educational issues and practices. It publishes
feature articles (research-based manuscripts addressing diverse issues
in education), graduate student inquiry, and book reviews. New to the
journal during our term as editors will be the addition of media
reviews, commentaries (original opinion pieces or analyses dealing
with issues and events of educational, pedagogical, or methodological
significance), and a mentoring corner (short essays that aim to foster
the professional and research skills of graduate students, junior
faculty members, and teacher researchers).
We will also be exploring some new directions for MWER, including
theme issues (such as an occasional issue that emphasizes topics of
particular relevance to the Midwest) as well as guest-edited issues.
We also plan to publish the “best of” submissions from the annual
Mid-Western Educational Research Association conference, held every
November.
We extend a special invitation to you to serve as a reviewer for the
journal. You can easily volunteer to review by clicking on this link:
https://docs.google.com/forms/
We also hope you will consider submitting your work for publication.
Now that MWER is online, there is more space to accommodate
outstanding work from higher education faculty, student affairs
professionals, and graduate students, as well as P-12 teachers and
administrators, policymakers, and other educational stakeholders. You
can learn more at http://www.mwera.org/MWER/ where we provide
information for authors and reviewers.
Please feel free to share this information with your colleagues, and
we look forward to hearing from you. Our new email address for MWER is
MWER1316@gmail.com. Let us know if you have questions or suggestions
for the journal, any of its components, or ideas for special issues.
Finally, you are invited to join the MWERA listserv. We hope to keep
you informed with a quarterly announcement about each new issue and
MWERA; your contact information will not be shared and your inbox will
be respected. Receipt of the email you are reading does not mean you
are on this list; you must opt in to receive emails. Should you care
to opt in, you may use the following link:

We look forward to hearing from you in the new year.
