Abstract

Research journals play significant roles in the advancement of academic fields of inquiry. This chapter starts with a brief description of the Journal for Research in Mathematics Education. Most importantly, this chapter provides practical guides to promoting and disseminating significant research in mathematics education. The guides provided in this chapter will be helpful and insightful for those who are interested in publishing in the Journal for Research in Mathematics Education.

Highlights

  • As the official research journal of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), the Journal for Research in Mathematics Education (JRME) is unique in the sense that it is sponsored by an organization of mathematics teachers

  • Increasing the impact of mathematics education research on practice has been a longstanding conundrum for the field (Battista et al 2007; Bazzini 1991; Heck et al 2012; Heid et al 2006; Herbel-Eisenmann et al 2016; Kieran et al 2012; Malara and Zan 2002; Ruthven 2002; Silver and Lunsford 2017)

  • In their review of papers published in JRME and Educational Studies in Mathematics (ESM) over the last 5 decades, Inglis and Foster (2018) investigated patterns in content, theories, and methods characterizing studies published in these journals over the years

Summary

21.1 Introduction

As the official research journal of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), the Journal for Research in Mathematics Education (JRME) is unique in the sense that it is sponsored by an organization of mathematics teachers. 5), and, in particular, to disseminate research dealing with significant problems in mathematics education. In service to this mission and to NCTM’s broad goal of enhancing the mathematics education of all students, JRME has been a high-profile venue in which to publish papers that systematically and comprehensively report research that will have an impact on educational practice in mathematics classrooms. Increasing the impact of mathematics education research on practice has been a longstanding conundrum for the field (Battista et al 2007; Bazzini 1991; Heck et al 2012; Heid et al 2006; Herbel-Eisenmann et al 2016; Kieran et al 2012; Malara and Zan 2002; Ruthven 2002; Silver and Lunsford 2017).
