Information from the conference will be disseminated through multiple outlets. Participants will have the opportunity to publish an article in either the Conference Proceedings for Breaking Boundaries or a Special Issue of Journal of Research in STEM Education.
Conference Proceedings
Conference Proceedings will be published by the online LMU Digital Commons. Articles,up to 5-pages in length, will be given a DOI and indexed on ERIC and Google Scholar. Accepted manuscripts, published in Loyola Marymount University's Digital Commons, will be licensed with a Creative Commons (CC-BY) license. This grants authors permission to publish the same work in an edited book or journal, provided their acknowledgement of the original publication in the Proceedings of Breaking the Boundaries in STEM Education Conference. Conference participants that submit a manuscript for review will be asked to review two other submitted manuscripts.
Submissions for the Conference Proceedings will be accepted on a rolling basis.
Special Issue of J-STEM
Journal of Research in STEM Education, J-STEM, publishes original manuscripts that use rigorous quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods studies on topics related to STEM concepts, practices and pedagogies in educational settings. In this special issue, there are expected to be four articles connected to each theme of the conference. Guest editors for the special issue will be Drs.
