The Nordic Journal of STEM Education (NJSTEME) is a recently transformed, free, non-commercial and open-access venue for disseminating educational research and development in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) higher education. NJSTEME is designed to be an entry point for publication for those new to either the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) or discipline-based education research (DBER). The journal also welcome experienced researchers and authors.
As part of the transformation, they aim to work with potential authors to help them envision their work as an NJSTEME publication in one of three formats: research article, teaching tool, or perspectives piece.
In this workshop, we invite participants to bring a recent conference abstract (or similar “starting point” for discussion); alternatively, they will have examples participants can use. Sehoya will then introduce the journal and its aims, and, using journal rubrics as the framing, focus on the steps necessary to transform abstracts into journal contributions. Small-group discussion will dominate the time, with introduction and wrap-up in plenum. Several materials will be provided to participants, along with suggestions from journal management, recent authors, and reviewers.
We hope this discussion will be productive for those interested in publishing their STEM-education work—in NJSTEME or elsewhere.
Link to register is open until February 13.
