Research Paper

These discussion-based sessions will include a selection of three papers focused on a particular theme. Authors can submit a proposal for a single paper and the conference planning committee will look for similar papers to curate the session. Submitted papers may be draft manuscripts nearing readiness for journal publication, or extended abstracts for which the author seeks additional guidance to advance the paper. Authors will present a 10 to 20--minute overview of their paper and then participate in a facilitated 30-minute Q&A discussion with session participants. (Conference participants should have the opportunity to read each research paper ahead of time.) All Research Paper proposals must be submitted through the conference submission portal in pdf format and include items listed in the Proposal Submission Guide (introduction, methods, results, discussion, references).

Sample Research Papers may be found in the current or previous editions of the International Journal of Process Education.

Research paper proposals should

• Be grounded in the literature
• Use research questions and/or hypotheses that are valuable for participants
• Advance knowledge that currently exists on the topic
• Create opportunity for feedback to advance the quality of the research for future publication
• Initiate meaningful dialogue
