CALL FOR AUTHORS
RESPONSE DUE SATURDAY, MARCH 1, 2025
Introduction, Purpose, and Benefits
The DOERS Collaborative seeks authors for a book-length project centered around how scholars, practitioners and administrators enact research about open education. To that end, we are interested in case studies written by faculty, staff, and administrators detailing their experiences designing and implementing open education research projects.
A crucial part of sustaining OER and open educational practices in higher education is communicating whether, in what ways, and to what extent open educational practices impact student success. By collecting case studies from those who have experience, DOERS seeks to provide as many examples from as many types of institutions as possible so that those looking for ways to align their research methodologies and language with others in the field can find solutions that speak to their particular questions. The goal of this project is to amplify existing research and provide opportunity for the development of shared language and methodologies for enacting research in open education.
DOERS seeks abstracts of no more than 250 words for potential case studies by 3/1/2025. Case study authors will be compensated for their work and all accepted submissions will be peer reviewed.
Eligibility
Research exploring open education involves and is enacted by people at various levels of higher education. Faculty, staff, administration, and others who have designed or participated in the design, implementation, and/or analysis of research into open education are eligible to be case study authors. We welcome projects representing a variety of institutions, disciplines, and populations. Case studies may be written as teaching case studies or as research case studies.
Expectations and Requirements
Those interested in writing case studies will submit an abstract of around 175 - 250 words upon acceptance of the abstract, write a 1,500 - 2,500 word case study communicate with the editorial board as needed. The abstract should provide the author’s role at their institution, how in that role they participated in an open education research project, and share a brief description of the research project itself. Case studies will be peer reviewed.
Funding and Payment Schedule
Authors will be paid a stipend of $1,500. Authors will receive half ($750.00) at the start of the project (upon completion of the MOU) and the other half ($750.00) upon completion and submission of their case study.
Project Timeline and Due Dates
Submit Your Proposal
The proposal submission form will request a title for your proposed chapter, author name(s) and affiliation, an email address for the corresponding author, and your 175-200 word proposal.
