July 2022

AERA encourages all 2022 Annual Meeting paper authors to take advantage of the opportunity to create or upload their 2022 presentation to the AERA i-Presentation Gallery if they have not done so already. The deadline is August 15. The Gallery becomes an open access product through the AERA website on August 25.

“No matter what kind of paper you presented at the meeting (whether at a paper, roundtable, or poster session or in a symposium), we urge you to participate so that your work can also be viewed online by the thousands of education researchers who will be visiting the Gallery,” said AERA Executive Director Felice J. Levine.

All presentations in the Gallery receive a unique digital object identifier (DOI). If authors upload their presentations to the Gallery and also elect to have their papers appear in the 2022 AERA Online Paper Repository, the two will be linked, providing a single path to two unique citations and an easy way for viewers to communicate and network with the authors.

Creating an i-Presentation is easy. Authors can create their own with images, videos, links to external websites, and more. Presentations can be viewed by others from anywhere at any time, without charge. Authors can also simply upload a PDF of their presentation or use one of the i-Presentation templates for their PowerPoint (or equivalent) slides.

Authors can record a narration so that viewers can benefit from a brief overview in the authors’ own words. Authors can also be contacted by other researchers directly through the Gallery platform, where they can chat in writing or through a live video conversation.

First-listed authors received an invite in early July from presentation-gallery@aera.net to create a presentation using the i-Presentation system or to upload an existing presentation. The first-listed authors can invite other authors to work on the presentation. In addition to step-by-step guidance, the platform provider aMuze! Interactive Inc. offers online help.

If you are a first author and you did not receive your invite to the Gallery, or if you have questions, please write to the AERA dedicated email box at presentation-gallery@aera.net.

AERA appreciates that many with accepted papers for 2022 are now preparing their 2023 Annual Meeting submissions. Those in that situation will still have several weeks before the August 15, 11:59 p.m. PT, Gallery deadline.
