  1. What is publishable? In particular in Educational Studies in Mathematics (ESM) Tommy Dreyfus

  2. Appropriateness • Educational • Studies • in Mathematics Upgrading a conference paper

  3. Educational • Research reports relevant to any aspects of mathematical education • Content • Learning • Teaching • Other and combinations • Practical implications if they follow from the research Upgrading a conference paper

  4. Study • Theoretically framed • Methodology explicit and suitable • Careful and cogently argued analysis • Of interest to an international readership Upgrading a conference paper

  5. Mathematics • Mathematics plays a significant role • The study is specific to mathematics Upgrading a conference paper

  6. Some questions to reviewers • Is it an educational study in mathematics? • Does it make a substantial original contribution? • Does it have educational significance and is it of interest internationally? • Does it have a suitable theoretical framework, and is this framework used for aims and analysis. Is it focused? • Is previous work (literature) appropriately taken into account? • Are the aims clear? Are they satisfied? • Is the methodology appropriate? • Is the analysis well founded (theoretical framework) • Do the conclusions follow from the analysis by cogent argument? • Is the substance to length ratio high? Upgrading a conference paper

  7. How to go about it? Some comments

  8. Overall considerations • Read journal articles • Choose the most appropriate journal • In terms of style • In terms of content • In terms of level • Don’t be discouraged by a couple of rejections • Learn from reviewers’ comments Upgrading a conference paper

  9. MERGA / PME to MERJ / ESM • The criteria are the same, but they are more stringently applied by the journals • For example, I am satisfied for PME if I can gather that there is an original contribution, and it does not have to be very substantial • Hints at a theoretical framework and its use are satisfactory • A very brief literature review is satisfactory • A partial description of the methodology is acceptable • Etc. Upgrading a conference paper

  10. Sit down and do it properly • Most importantly: Decide on a clear focus and stick to it. • Describe the theoretical framework in detail and explain how it is used in your study • Refer only to the directly relevant literature, but do it explicitly (the author may be the reviewer); show how it is relevant and how you have used it, for example in defining the aims of your research • Give sufficient methodological detail for the reader to know what you have done • Show (e.g., by example) how you have analysed the data • Carefully argue how you reached the conclusions Upgrading a conference paper
