 October Newsletter 2021
The latest journal usage report shows a recovery following a downturn in activity in 2020.
The final issue of the year is still under preparation, but five of the articles are available on EarlyCite
(www.emerald.com/insight/publication/issn/2046-8253#earlycite)
A Call for Papers for the next Special Issue, Emerging Voices in Lesson Studies, has a deadline for abstract submissions by 31st October:
The WALS PhD and Early Career Researcher (ECR) community is aware of the essential role doctoral students and ECR play in the future development of lesson study around the world. Therefore, we would like to offer you the opportunity to collaborate on a special issue on PhD and ECR Lesson Study research in the IJLLS. In particular, doctoral researchers should be involved, where possible, in the global research community by sharing their research interests and findings. Nonetheless, we recognise the challenges for doctoral students to find publishing opportunities, particularly at earlier stages of their PhD, or for submitting ongoing work-in-progress (or even more mature doctoral research). This is indeed a regrettable situation because doctoral research is able to provide valuable and cutting-edge perspectives that the field should learn from today. With that, this special issue emerged as a reflection of that demand to provide opportunities for doctoral students to share their work and to support doctoral students’ wider development. Taken together, this special issue aims to bring together perspectives and trends in doctoral research in lesson studies in a common platform.
Submission guidelines:
1) Initial expressions of interest: 500-word structured abstract to be submitted via this link (https://forms.gle/Bmf3GGrnFpN2nrpB7) by 31st October 2021.
2) Authorship: The first author must be a currently registered doctoral researcher or have recently been awarded their degree (within the last five years).
3) Focus: Research on/of/ using lesson studies and must be directly related to one’s on-going or completed doctoral research.
