Abstract
We conducted a case study of authors who published their research in top-ranked education journals during 2018. In this session, we focus on the experiences and perceptions of those who published qualitative and mixed methods studies in those content-area journals. We share the unique challenges they faced (as compared to authors of quantitative manuscripts) and strategies used to overcome them. At the end of the session, we will facilitate a brief discussion of equivalent issues for other academic fields than education and gather other attendee suggestions for qualitative and mixed methods publishing success.
Learning Outcomes
(1) Participants will understand the unique challenges of publishing qualitative and mixed methods research in elite scholarly outlets.
(2) Participants will identify practical measures to improve their experiences with publishing qualitative and mixed methods research in content-area publications.
(3) Through engagement with the presenters and other attendees, the participants will compare and contrast equivalent issues for other academic fields than education.
