While the 2023 AERA Annual Meeting is about to engage thousands of in-person and virtual attendees in April and May 2023, AERA encourages education researchers to volunteer as peer reviewers of submissions for the 2024 AERA Annual Meeting.

The call for volunteer reviewers will be released on March 2, 2023, and those interested in being selected have until April 28, 2023, to sign up.

A quality peer review system is the bedrock of a quality annual meeting. Therefore, AERA encourages persons with depth of research expertise to volunteer to review by responding to the call in their specialty area.

Serving on a review panel is a selective process. It is considered to be an honor and is publicized in the AERA community as a form of important service to the association and the field. Reviewers are publicly acknowledged, which also adds to the transparency of the process and the accountability of each submission unit for ensuring that review panels reflect the criteria for selection.

The call includes information on how to volunteer and the selection criteria. AERA urges education research scholars with expertise across career stages to volunteer and participate in creating an annual meeting of excellence.
