The Mid-Western Educational Researcher (MWER) is a peer-reviewed, open-access scholarly journal that publishes research articles examining educational issues and practices, book and media reviews, commentaries, and articles that address areas such as mentorship and teacher research. MWER seeks strong manuscripts addressing a wide range of topics in education.
The journal publishes quantitative, qualitative, mixed methods, meta-analysis and meta-synthesis studies, and accepts submissions in six different categories: feature articles, graduate student scholarship, voices from the classroom, commentaries, book/media reviews, and mentoring corner.
The journal also periodically solicits proposals for special issues and special sections of an issue. In addition, such proposals can be submitted any time, regardless of whether there is an open call.
See the Aims and Scope for more detailed information.
