About the Online Paper Repository:
The AERA Online Paper Repository is an open-access clearinghouse with abstracts of all scientific presentations given at AERA annual meetings since 2010. More than half of these records include full-text papers voluntarily contributed to the repository by Annual Meeting presenters. AERA encourages all presenters to make their full-text papers available to the repository as a way to distribute their research more broadly.

For scholars, students, and other users, the repository:

• Offers a new opportunity for broader access to information presented at AERA Annual Meetings

• Serves as a reference on current scholarship and research

• Outlines guidelines for citing scholarship presented at Annual Meetings
   

For presenters, the repository:

• Allows presentations to be shared in a new format and reaches a broader audience than those attending the session
   
• Records in a permanent online archive the full-text of the presentations
   
• Enables reporting of subsequent publication of the research by allowing the addition of citation information, a journal URL, or a digital object identifier (DOI)
