Research in Mathematics Education in Australasia (RiMEA)

Every four years, MERGA members prepare a critical review of research and publish it as an edited book with Springer.

The next volume: RIMEA 2020-2023 will be available August 2024.

Editors: Carmel Mesiti, Wee Tiong Seah, Berinderjeet Kaur, Cath Pearn, Anthony Jones, Scott Cameron, Emma Every & Kate Copping

A call for editors and chapter authors is usually made during the third year of the 4-year span, via the MERGA newsletter. For additional information, contact the VP Publications.

Reviewing of research papers

Research papers will be blind reviewed by a panel of peers approved by the conference committee. The main purpose of the refereeing process is to contribute to the growth and development of quality practice in mathematics education research. Thus reviewers are asked to assist authors by providing helpful feedback and to comment on the suitability of papers for presentation at the conference. Accordingly, it will not be assumed that published papers presented at the conference will be as polished as articles in scholarly journals. Referees will be asked to assess papers being reviewed against the accepted norms for scholarly works presented at MERGA conferences, as set out above.

Each conference proceedings’ Editorial Team will exercise discretion over the reviewing process.

Reviewers’ comments will be returned to the authors. Authors whose papers are not accepted for publication may be invited by the editorial panel to present their paper at the conference, with an abstract (only) being published in the proceedings. Papers may be rejected outright, with no opportunity for presentation at the conference in an alternative form.

The MERGA website has detailed advice about criteria for reviewing of MERGA papers, review forms, and examples of strong and poor reviews of different types.
