Calls For Papers

  • *RME: Call for Special Issue Proposals*

    Research in Mathematics Education (RME) invites researchers to submit a
    proposal for a Special Issues of RME (2026 onwards). The journal publishes
    a special issue each year around a theme of interest to researchers in
    mathematics education. Recent special issues include Mathematics Education,
    Citizenship and its Other in a Global World in 2021 and later a special
    issue on Making Mathematical Connections in the Teaching and Learning of
    Mathematics in 2024 and another on Contemporary Issues in Mathematics
    Education within a STEM Climate in 2025.

    Currently, the journal publishes three issues a year. Issues 1 and 3
    comprise original refereed research papers drawn from a wide range of areas
    within mathematics education. Issue 2 is normally a Special Issue built
    around articles focussed on a particular theme, with a guest editor who has
    (or editors who have) a particular expertise and involvement in research on
    that theme.

    We invite proposals from a guest editor or team of editors who have
    particular expertise and involvement in research around the theme of the
    proposal. Papers in each Special Issue are acquired by open call and
    undergo the same peer review process as all other research papers in RME.
    Guest editors manage the open call for and acquisition of papers, the
    reviewing process, and the editing process of bringing the copy to a point
    where it is ready for publication. Support and guidance for this is
    provided by the RME Editors and the wider RME team.

    Experience suggests that the process of developing a Special Issue can take
    up to 18 months from acceptance of the proposal to publication.

    The first step is the submission of a strong proposal. Colleagues
    interested in developing a Special Issue should write to the RME Editors
    outlining:

    - Theme: indicative title of the Special Issue and brief outline of its
    intended scope
    - Editor(s): names of the Guest Editor(s) including a brief explanation
    about why they are well-placed to develop the Special Issue
    - Rationale: why the theme is of particular interest to the field of
    research in mathematics education
    - Content: potential contributors and their contributions; this may be
    provisional, but needs to show evidence that there are sufficient
    researchers from a diverse range of contexts in the area able to contribute
    high-quality papers for the issue to be sustainable. The precise make-up of
    the special issue can be negotiated with the RME editors, but it normally
    takes the form of a number of research papers (perhaps no more than 8000
    words each) with some framing introductory material and perhaps some
    response(s) or concluding material. The total word-length (i.e., the
    ‘volume equivalent’) is around 45,000 words.
    - Timeline: an indicative timescale from acceptance of the proposal to
    publication (note that accepted articles for a RME SI can appear ‘online
    first’ on the journal website prior to the final publication of the
    complete SI and this is strongly encouraged).

    The RME SI proposal should be sent to rme@bsrlm.org.uk by *30th November
    2023*. If you have any questions about this call then please also email the
    Editors at rme@bsrlm.org.uk. A decision will be made around early January
    by the RME Editors.

    The Editors

    Research in Mathematics Education
  • Journal of Science and Mathematics Education
    • Mathematics for and in STEM Education
    • Open until December 31, 2025
  • Methods in Psychology
    • You are invited to submit an article to a Special Issue of Methods in Psychology on Mixed Methods and Mathematics Education Research. Methods in Psychology is an open access journal.
    • Mixed methods have gained more prominence in mathematics education research in the last several decades. However, as analytical approaches expand and contexts change, new approaches are needed to capture the complexity and authenticity of mathematics education topics and scenarios. This special issue invites submissions of articles that offer new insights and innovative thinking about mixed methods and mathematics education research, across a broad range of topics.
      Specifically, we seek articles that methodologically answer or discuss aspects of the following:
      • Why and how did mixed methods help you as the mathematics education researcher(s) more effectively answer your research questions in your context rather than other research methods?
      • In what ways and in what stage of your research project did integration occur and what insights do this lead towards? (e.g., theoretical framing, data collection, data analysis, inference techniques, presentation of results, etc.)
      • What innovative ways did the researcher(s) implement mixed methods at various aspects of their projects?
      • What innovate mixed methods visualizations offered new insights that would otherwise have been obscured? (e.g., joint displays, analytical tools, etc.)
      Note that we do not seek articles that solely present the outcomes of mathematics education research, although specific examples of mathematics education research may be useful in illustrating the arguments and proposals in submitted articles that meet the objectives above. Articles may be in any format accepted by the journal – Research and methodological articles (around 9000 words). Limit 4-6 tables and figures.
      Manuscript submission information:
      Prospective authors can submit a proposal (encouraged but not required: DUE by September 1st, 2024) that includes an extended abstract of maximum 1500 words describing:
      1. Theory and gaps in relevant literature including single method designs on the mathematics education topic under investigation.
      2. Problem
      3. Research questions and/or research hypotheses for each qualitative and quantitative strand, including a mixed methods research question.
      4. Type of mixed methods design
      - Clear description of both the qualitative and quantitative methods used in the umbrella mixed methods design with appropriate methodological references.
      5. Results or Preliminary Results
      - Notation on the innovation of the mixed methods design in comparison to existing mixed methods designs.
      6. Integration, Joint Display, & Meta-inferences
      7. Conclusions, Discussion, and Implications
      -Reflection on how the use of mixed methods contributes to our understanding of the mathematics education topic. Recommendations regarding the adaptation of the specific mixed method design to other areas in mathematics education.
      8. All submissions should be in Times New Roman, 12-point font, 1-inch margins, single-spaced.
      Send extended abstracts to Emma Bullock at ebullock@shsu.edu

    • applications of research to practice
    • research briefs
  • Submit your chapter proposals for an upcoming book, "Promoting Equity in Approximations of Practice for Preservice Mathematics Teachers." Please find details in this link. 
  • The Journal of Research in Science, Mathematics and Technology Education (JRSMTE) will publish a special issue in 2024, and is looking for recent graduates or for those that will be graduating soon to submit a paper to the special issue.  More information can be found at https://jrsmte.com/
  • For mathematics education researchers whose work overlaps with esl/bilingual education: njtesol-njbe’s subcommittee to counter antiblack racism is leading efforts to promote the work of emerging scholars. we are excited to invite black and racially minoritized graduate students with submissions related to esl/bilingual education to submit to our recently reimagined voices annual journal with the added benefit that, if accepted, they will also get to present their work at our heavily attended annual conference.
