September 2026
AERA has launched both the 2026 Online Paper Repository and the 2026 i-Presentation Gallery, providing open access to research presented at the 2026 AERA Annual Meeting. More than 5,300 full-text papers have been added to the repository, and close to 2,800 presentations to the gallery. Together, these open-access resources provide access to the content of paper, roundtable, and poster sessions and symposia from the 2026 AERA Annual Meeting.
The 2026 additions to the Online Paper Repository represent 50 percent of the papers presented at the meeting. In total, over 64,000 full-text papers from the past 17 AERA annual meetings are available online. Since 2017, each full-text paper has been assigned a DOI. The searchable repository also includes abstracts of all scientific presentations given at AERA annual meetings since 2010. For information about papers presented before 2010, users can consult the online program archives (available back to 2005) or contact authors directly.
This year’s repository is on a new online platform with many new upgrades and features. First, users will find that searches are much faster in the new repository. Other enhancements include the ability to search for presentations that only include downloadable papers; direct links to AERA’s annual meeting online system; and direct links to i-Presentations when a DOI is available.
The i-Presentation Gallery features thousands of presentations since the gallery’s launch in 2020. The gallery allows users to view presentations in a web-based format. They are able to search by division, SIG, or other submission unit; keyword or method; and author, abstract, title, or institution. Users can contact authors worldwide through the gallery to schedule a live video or written chat. All presentations receive a unique digital object identifier (DOI) that makes authors’ work easier to discover, locate, and cite.
AERA encourages all presenters to make their full-text papers and presentations available to the repository and gallery to disseminate their research more widely, enhance use, and allow for appropriate acknowledgment.
