REGISTRATION IS UNION HOUSE: University of Melbourne Union House is towards the north side of the campus near Tin Alley off Swanston St. The registration Desk is at the top of the stairs on the first floor near the entrance to the Grand Buffet Hall. It will open on Sunday at 10.00am till the beginning of the President's Reception at 6.00pm. On Monday registration will open from 7.30am. University signage is plentiful. Maps of the campus and locations will also be in the satchel.; Collect satchels, etc. on Sunday if possible to allow you as much time as you need to select your personal program plan out of the range of things available. There are 68 presentations in 30 concurrent rooms prior to morning tea on Monday. These sessions start at 9.00am Monday and early sessions start at 8.30am on the other conference days. The outline program is on the AARE website. The detailed program is in your satchel.
DISKS FOR PRESENTATIONS MONDAY: We have not received many presentations disks to pass to Dragan for putting on the AARE sub-net server ready for your presentations. We have 5 posted plus a few in the mail maybe so there are about 60 people who need to deliver their PPT Powerpoint presentation disks to Dragan.; People who have not sent the material on disk early as requested will have to hand them to Dragan [not AARE] on Sunday if you want them to be ready for your presentation. If you deliver them to Dragan at 7.30 am on Monday he might be able to get them all loaded by 9.00am. Please do not email PPT as they may get lost in all the transfers. AARE Office is moving on Friday night to operate from Unimelb from Saturday morning.

PROGRAM AT PRINTER

The detailed conference Program Book is being printed and bound. It will be in your satchel with the Abstract Book when you register at the conference. The draft time-table [used as a way of consulting everyone prior to locking up the program] has now been taken off the web site - permanently. New versions of the Outline Programs for 6 days are on the website.

LETTERS TO INDIVIDUAL PRESENTERS

This week we are emailing individual letters to all presenters giving program placement information. That's about a 1000 personal notices.

WITHDRAWALS

Now that the program is finished and at the printer we are receiving the usual rash of withdrawals. We'll notify attendees of those in ERATA SHEETS issued at the registration desk daily so that you can cross them out of the Program Book.

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS AT CONFERENCE

For 2004 we ask that you

convert your paper to pdf starting by putting at the top left corner on the first page the papercode "XXX04nnnn". [I wonder how many papers I'll get with that code?]
Make sure your name, institution and the title of the paper are there
then the body of the paper with no 'residual' annotations from colleagues
then hand the paper in [2 hard copies] and one digital pdf file on CD or disk to the conference registration desk. Do not send it by email. If everyone does it that way we have physical checks on attendance and matching hardcopies with digital, before they go to various places to other people for processing.
Bring also on another CD, your presentation ppt to hand to Dragan the AV technician at least 4 hours before your session, so that he can make sure your work is on the screen when needed.
Bring also 20 - 25 copies of your handouts to give to people attending your session. Bring more handouts if you are talking on a popular subject or have a "fan club".

ATTENTION PG & ECR'S: It is wonderful to see how many post-graduate students and Early Career Researchers have registered for our free Sunday morning session on 'Tips for building successful Networks and hints for paper presentations'. We look forward to seeing you from 10 - 12.30pm on Sunday 28 November in the "Public Policy Lecture Theatre, Level 2, 234 Queensberry St, Carlton". We would also like to draw your attention to our PG & ECR symposium, 'Landmarks, Signposts and Landmines: negotiating your way through the thesis'. Scheduled for Paper Session 1 on Monday morning and presented by current students and a recent graduate, this should be a fascinating time for discussion about the process and journey faced by research students and Early Career Researchers. We will be electing the new representatives for 2005 at our AGM Tuesday evening. This event will be followed by the 'Not the Conference Dinner'. Check notice boards at the conference for location. We look forward to seeing you all there.; Any queries do not hesitate to contact Rachel Darell on Rachel.M.Darell@uts.edu.au or Sue Smith on suesmith2122@yahoo.com.au; Note: Outline Programs and Time-table for the conference are published on AARE website and updated regularly. All registrants will receive a printed 150pp Program Book and a 400pp Abstracts Book in satchels when they check-in to the Registration Desk for name tags.

TIME-TABLE FINAL -- TILL PROGRAM PUBLISHED: The final time-table iteration has been completed. Negotiating a time-table with 1000 presenters is a bit daunting to say the least! The date of the final version [Saturday, 23 October 2004] is shown on the top of the Excel spread sheet so that you can check whether you are looking at a cached or old version. No more changes can be accommodated. Withdrawals will be listed on a "Daily Withdrawals Sheet" at conference so that people can update their Program Book which will be distributed in satchels. The Program Book is the official and complete program for the entire event. Like the Abstract Book [ 400 pp in printing] the Program Book will be fully indexed and contain names and paper titles [unlike the time-table which was kept to just names and codes to make it compact and usable on the web]. We expect the Program Book to run to 200pp.
FIRST DAY PRESENTERS: To avoid any last minute difficulties due to late arrival of flights on Monday, we will make special arrangements to collect the Powerpoint presentations of those people time- tabled for Monday, especially the morning. We will contact the people directly and individually but in case they miss that email we tell you all, that we will be asking such people [and only those people] to submit their presentations [not their papers] on disk or on-line to AARE Office before conference. Everyone else submits their presentations to the Speaker Preparation Room where Dragan Restevski will assist you.
DIETS: We still don't have enough declarations -- only 21 out of nearly 1000 people attending. Please send a new message to aare@aare.edu.au with DIET in the subject line so that we can provide properly for you.; AARE Office

ADJUSTED TIME-TABLE AVAILABLE
: As a result of information being sent to AARE Office in new messages the provisional time-table for AARE 2004 Conference has been adjusted.; Now you can look again and check that we have not moved you and your paper to accommodate the requests.; Be careful to hit "reload" or "refresh" on your browser to make sure that you are not looking at an old version from Tuesday! We had one person tell us last night that she has printed the TT. This is not a good idea as it has already changed. It will be "fluid" till COB on Friday and then it will be re-posted to the web during next week.
AARE 2005 EXECUTIVE BALLOT: The ballot papers for election of Executive Committee members have been printed, assembled, enveloped and will be posted to all financial members today.
DIETS RESPONSES UP: There were a few more responses to our request for more diet requirements to be notified. The statistical probability figure has still not been reached. Please send a new message [do not use "reply to"] with the subject DIET to notify us and the caterers.
CATERING FOR WORLD WIDE AUDIENCE: AARE will be announcing details next week of provisions for people anywhere to attend the keynote sessions via WebEx interactive real time sessions. This will allow people world wide to listen to and see the slides of key speakers. It is easy to do and utilizes the highest levels of information communications technology to disseminate education research to anyone.
PUBLIC FORUM: Also available on WebEx the FORUM on Thursday to end the conference on a high note is being organized by Prof. Jill Blackmore of Deakin University [a former President of AARE]. This event is free to the auditorium audience [public are to be invited via The Age] and free via Webex . More information next week.; AARE Office

2004 CONFERENCE TIME-TABLE ON WEB: The time-table is now on the AARE website in Excel. Enter via the homepage NOTICES link. Search using your papercode/s or your name. Make a note of your placings. The Program Book will be made from this time-table next week.; Only absolutely essential changes can be made due to the problem of dealing with consequentials. To tell us of a "problem" please send a new message [DO NOT REPLY TO THIS as we delete such replies unread]. Quote your papercode in the SUBJECT of a brief email.; You have until close of business [5.00pm AEST] to notify "problems". Sorry for the pressure, but we have to re-jig after that and get the Program Book done for the printer. Please tell colleagues to check their placings.
DIETS INFO NEEDED: Only 11 people have told us about diets which need to be honoured. That's statistically not enough out of 1000 people who will eat at the conference. Please send a new email with DIET in the subject line and tell us briefly what your dietary needs are. We want to cater sensitively.
WILDERNESS DINNER - WARNING!: You are in danger of missing out on the social event of the year.; Places for the Wilderness Dinner at the Zoo are filling fast. The list closes 22 November. Contact your mates now and register for wine, food, music and dance on the wild side. This year you can't wait until the conference to decide.
REPLY MESSAGES - HELP US TO HELP YOU: We delete replies to these messages un-read because we get so many "out of office" messages from a list of 1200 persons. Please respond to these messages by writing a new message with a new subject. Don't send back our message. Please don't use "reply to" as we may not see your request.; Peter Jeffery

PAPERS SUBMITTED TO AARE FOR PROCEEDINGS CD and WEBSITE PUBLICATION: In a previous message we advised that the publication date for AARE 2004 Conference Proceedings will be February 2005. This is to 'tidy up' the matter of the publication date to ensure that DEST requirements are met. This message addresses the issue of documentation format and style.
PRECISE AND COMPLETE: In previous years we have received papers for publication which have not contained essential information such as the names of authors, the authors' institution(s) and other acknowledgements. Sometimes the documents have been double spaced, in plain text while others have been extravagant in artistic styles and fonts but lacked references at the end.; In an attempt to achieve some consistency in presentation, we ask that your document be presented in a plain commonly used font (only one), single line spaced, 10, 11 or 12 point type with headings in bold. An academic style is preferred to extravagant page designs.; AARE publishes papers fully written in English and produced by a word processor (eg. Word). It does not publish Power Point presentations. That is, submissions for the Proceedings need to be in the form of a fully written document that is submitted on a disk when you deposit the work at the conference registration desk. (Do not send your final paper by email.) Two hard copies of the final version of your paper are also needed, one for ACER Library (where it will be indexed and archived) and one for AARE. These must be handed in at the registration desk to prove you were at the conference and presented the paper.
PDF SUBMISSIONS 2004: In 2004, papers should be submitted in PDF format. Because this means AARE will not be able to change/fix any omissions, you will need to be careful to include all your paper's bibliographic details including your paper code. Please put the paper code on the first line top left hand corner of your document. Your title and authors' names and institutions should follow that, centred on the page. The paper should then follow the abstract with all "figures" imbedded into the text. (Do not say Fig. 1 about here as you would with a journal article submission.) End with references.
FILE NAMES: Please save the file as PDF with the paper code as the file name. For example, if your paper code is JEF04856 then name your file JEF04856.pdf; In general, your file name will be papercode.pdf Please do not say "aare 2004 paper" or anything else.; Thank you for your assistance in establishing some consistency for readers of the Proceedings.; Trevor Gale, Conference Convenor
AARE phone +61 3 59649031
Thousands of full text research papers are available on-line at www.aare.edu.au thanks to the cooperation of AARE members.; PS: The Abstract Book is now being indexed by papercode, title, all authors and institutions, about 5,500 index entries. The Program is 90% done and will be posted on the web next week. Beware "cache" at your university or computer. Press 're-load' when you 'surf' to AARE website to check something, so you get the latest version to look at.; AARE Office.

Broadcast Message 5/10/2004

2004 CONFERENCE ABSTRACTS AND PROGRAM: Always quote your PAPERCODE to assist in finding your work. The papercode is inside the box containing the title of your paper on AARE website abstracts listing. Please quote your papercode in the subject line of messages. Remember your papercode, you will need it to label your files and papers when you hand the paper in at conference. It is also in the Program as a unique identifier and in indexes to the work.
PRESENTERS - REGISTER NOW PLEASE: A number of well known presenters, some of whom are active researchers and regular presenters at AARE conferences have not yet registered for the 2004 conference. Should we WITHDRAW their papers or leave them in the Abstract Book? Should we list the names? If we leave them in the book and they don't register, all users of the book at conference and in libraries for years to come will look fruitlessly for the presentation and the work.; On behalf of all, we appeal to everyone who has submitted abstracts - PLEASE REGISTER OR WITHDRAW NOW before the book is indexed and goes to the printer this week.
PROGRAM PROGRESS: About 80% of the papers have been placed into the 32 rooms by 4 days matrix. Your wishes regarding days etc. have been heeded. All wishes of SIGs and Symposia and subject matter streams and equipment have been accommodated. Now Wendy is trying to cope with withdrawals so that she can finish the job.; The project is held up pending withdrawals as every time one trickles in we have to delete it on the web, in the draft Abstract Book and cross it out of the draft Program and make consequential adjustments. Be a sport! Withdraw now if you are going to, so that the biggest education research cooperative endeavour of 2004 can proceed.; We are receiving emails and phone calls asking for program placement positions. These cause more work that delays the PROGAM being published for all to check, and we cannot say. The Program will be published on the AARE website as soon as we have it finished. With everyone's cooperation that will be next week.
LIST ADDITIONS: In the last 2 weeks we have added about 100 names of new or renewing members to the AARE outgoing broadcast email list. It is apparent that about 33% of the presenters at AARE 2004 Conference - Melbourne will be new members attending their first "AARE". More names will be added as soon as Ruth can get back to processing payments instead of working constantly on the Abstracts Book and its 'index by all names', withdrawals, etc. Please don't reply to this message.; AARE Office

AARE NEWS No. 48 September 2004 on-line: Members in good financial standing will have received the printed version of the latest AARE NEWS, the last for 2004. It contains much about the 2004 Conference and other news of the Association. If you didn't receive the issue please check your membership status. One reason for publishing AARE NEWS on-line is to allow non-members access and make it easy for members to give a copy to colleagues.
2004 ABSTRACTS BOOK PREPARATION: All the abstracts for the forthcoming 2004 conference are now on the AARE website. Search for yours using our new search facility by typing in your papercode. It is a unique identifier. Check and report any errors and changes by MONDAY 4th October.; This book [500 pages] is being paged and will go to the printer next week, warts and all!
SUBMISSION OF REVISED PAPERS: Make submissions of revised or final versions of papers on disk at the registration desk at conference, together with 2 hard copies. That way we meet AARE rules about attendance and DEST rules about presentation prior to publication in the "proceedings".
KEYNOTE SPEAKERS: Most of the keynote speakers at conference will be available through WebEx connections on-line. This enables people who can't come to the conference to at least hear the keynotes and see their presentation slides. Remote participants will also be able to ask questions interactively in "real time" world wide. Details and costs will be posted on AARE website shortly. AARE is trying to make it possible for members everywhere to share at least some of the 2004 conference experience.; Peter Jeffery

AARE WEBSITE SEARCH FACILITY: To help members find conference papers, publications and details of various aspects of AARE we have added a site search facility to our website. It took considerable research to find the best tool for doing this and then re-programming efforts by three technical supporters to make it function for AARE members. To display and make available the facility, necessitated a minor re-design of the AARE website home page, so members who were comfortable with the previous "look and feel" of the website will encounter a change that will take a few moments to get used to.; We are making this facility available immediately to assist members looking for their abstracts for the 2004 conference to check them. Now, members/authors only need to key into the search field on the home page their PAPERCODE which is a unique identifier of their work for this conference and click on the "GO" button. This will take you directly to the 2004 abstracts file. When that "loads" you then find the paper/abstract by using your own computer's 'search in page facilty' or scroll down the abstracts till you get to yours. Papercodes have been sent to all intending presenters with their acceptance notice and it is attached to all correspondence from AARE Office regarding your paper.; The search facility will also function on your name [or anyone's name, paper title, keyword or whatever] and it has an "advanced search" aspect which can be used to refine search parameters. If you search on your name or a subject the facility will return a "graduated list" of all the occurrences of the parameter or item or "not found" if the item you seek is not present on AARE website. The search includes contents of all pdf files as well as all htm files.; Members will find the new search facility helpful in finding their presentation time/date in the 2004 Conference Program [when it is posted to the website] and in future to search for papers in the AARE Conference Papers Collections and contents of The Australian Educational Researcher journal when doing research on a topic. Non-member users of AARE website [a huge number of people all over the world] will also be assisted by the presence of this tool.; Note: The final appearence of AARE website on your computer is a function of your computer display settings and your browser of choice. AARE works within the world Internet standards but many browsers do not fully comply. There are also user preferences settings available within browsers so AARE cannot guarantee the final appearence of its website on user computers.; Peter Jeffery

ABSTRACTS FOR AARE CONFERENCE 2004: As part of the research dissemination process AARE conducts for members, we publish Abstracts of Proposed Presentations on the AARE website. In addition to publicising your work and the scope of the conference, this is an opportunity for you to check that everything about your abstract is correct before we send it to be printed in the Abstract Book, which will be distributed in satchels at conference.; We have 1078 abstracts of papers and symposia to publish for checking by authors this year. We have started with the abstracts of authors whose family name begins with "A". "B", "C" and "D". These abstracts are now available on AARE website. We hope to quickly follow these abstracts with all the rest of the alphabetic listings.
How to find and check your abstract:: There is a notice on AARE home page about the abstracts being 'posted'. Click on that link, wait for the file to load then check by going to your name or the unique papercode. Alternately, go to the big Index [site map], go to Conference Papers, then Abstracts Melbourne 2004. Alternately go to Melbourne Conference via Index or home page "coming events" button and click on Abstracts in the top line of the Melbourne Conference home page.
Watch this space:: We will not be sending broadcast messages every time we complete another alphabetic set in the Abstracts collection, so please go to the AARE website from time to time in the next 2 weeks and check your alphabetic group.
Corrections [not changes]:: Please notify us of any errors we have made (via email: aare@aare.edu.au). We do not re-type your words we simply copy and paste what you submitted originally and what has been approved by the Conference Committee.

Broadcast Message 28/8/04

The date of publication for all papers (including fully refereed papers) to be presented at the AARE 2004 Conference will be February 2005.: The date of publication for all papers including fully refereed papers presented at the AARE 2004 Conference will be February 2005. This will mean that papers can be claimed by authors for DEST purposes in the 2005 publication year (submitted in the 2006 DEST collection). This change from previous policy statements is because of DEST requirements and results from reports from members about how authors have had their papers regarded by DEST in the past. This change is made after discussions with the compiler of the Papers Collections, AARE Executive and staff at Monash University who handle the DEST collection process for that institution.; Because of the timing of the conference (each year), there is not sufficient time to get these publications on the web and Proceedings CD by the end of the year. Typically, they appear on the web early in the following year and therefore DEST takes this 'date of posting on the web site' as the publication date (not when the papers were presented and not the date of publication printed on the CD and the website). This has caused some angst to authors and institutions. By clarifying the publication date and making this explicit to members who submit papers, we solve potential problems with meeting DEST requirements.; This change to the publication date may create concern among some authors initially but we think it is in everyone's interests to make the change and stick with it until DEST changes policy again.; Trevor Gale

ARRANGEMENTS FOR PRESENTERS OF PAPERS

This is a very modern conference with state of the art presentation facilitation. We use centralised distribution of AV to each of 30 rooms presenting simultaneously.
- You bring your presentation [including website if you wish to show it] cached on one or more CDs and hand it/them in to a central technical assistant [HireIntelligence, AARE's contractor] a day prior to your presentation, or as early as possible if you are only arriving on the day.
- You touch your name on the screen in your presentation room at the scheduled time to bring your presentation onto the screen. You then click through your slides as usual. The next speaker steps up and touches her/his name and so on.
We do not allow BYO computers and plug in Data Projectors because that can lead to all sorts of technology and person related confusions and problems for following speakers. There is too little time (3 min.) between presentations to fiddle with equipment. People who change settings to suit their machine also cause problems for following presenters. A mobile phone call to a particular [number to be announced later] will bring assistance but prevention is a better strategy.
Most rooms will be fitted out as described and presentations that require data projection will be programmed into such rooms in 99% of cases. Sometimes technology demands of presenters causes programming to be decided by that technical consideration rather than matters of content.
Do not send requests for equipment for presentations now [it is too late]. AARE Office has your requests on file in the master programming spreadsheet already. We don't want to have to go back and check 1078 presentations. What you asked for in your abstract will be provided. All you need do now is start preparing a CD or disk with your presentation on it, and test it.
The use of centralised distribution of presentations [in each room controlled by the presenters] eliminates the need to provide much technical support in the form of trouble shooting technicians rushing from room to room setting up an array of BYO machines all configured differently. [This conference will have up to 30 rooms operating concurrent blocks of presentations for 4 days].
No rooms will have live internet connection. Live on-line presentations would require use of the venue university network and this is not permitted. The conference [venue hirer] cannot arrange independent broadband connections within the venue. When caching sites make sure you try it all out [away from your base institution off-line] to check all necessary links are also cached on your CD.
If your needs cannot be accommodated within what I have briefly described, we can discuss with our technicians and me by phone or WebEx conferencing.
- WebEx [ www.webex.com.au ] is free to AARE as it is sponsored.
- We can set the date/time of a meeting by emails.
- We can use the phone.
- we can have round and round emails too if we must.
Both Macintosh and PC platforms can be supported at the conference.

A "GALA BOOK EVENT" will be held at this year's AARE Conference in Melbourne, late Monday afternoon of the Conference. Two books will be launched at this event but there is also opportunity for other books to be "featured" (ie. displayed along with accompanying posters etc.).

The event will include free wine, nibbles and a chance to catch up with friends. (It will also nicely lead into the Chamber Music Concert to follow.)

If you are an author of a book published in 2003 or 2004 and you will be attending the Conference and would like your book featured at this event, you are invited to have your publisher contact Ruth or Wendy at the AARE Office (aare@aare.edu.au or phone: 61 (0)3 5964 9031).

Your publisher would need to agree to setting up their own display of your book and making the book available for purchase at a discount for those in attendance, as well as contribute a small fee per featured book and provide one free copy for AARE to distribute.

Further details can be obtained from the AARE Office. Expressions of interest need to be received by 3 September, 2004.

CONFERENCE UPDATE
Refereeing Full papers:: AARE Office has successfully contacted potential referees for 207 papers requiring "full paper refereeing". The papers have been "sanitized" to remove identifying information and sent for reading. Each paper is sent to 3 referees whose voluntary work is greatly appreciated. When 3 reports are received from referees the authors are notified so that they can register for the conference. Depending on the speed of refereeing we hope to notify all authors before the "Early Bird" discount rate ends on 31st August but as we are dependant on referees we can't guarantee to have it completed by then. You don't have to wait till refereeing is completed before registering for conference.
Abstracts on the Web:: Although the abstracts for the above papers have been reformatted ready for the Abstract Book and the AARE website they can't be 'posted' until we know the results of the refereeing. Work is now proceeding on re-formatting the balance of proposals namely 864 abstracts. These will be 'posted' to the website as soon as possible. The purpose is to advertise the forthcoming content of the conference and your academic work as well as allow you to check that what we have is what you want in the Abstract Book. We reformat but do not retype your writing [including your spelling and grammatical errors]. We will print what appears on the website, so please check your work when it appears. We will notify when the abstracts are posted on the web.
Acceptances notifications:: Sending of these was suspended so that the papers for full refereeing process could be started. Now that they are all out with referees Wendy will start sending out acceptances again, except to the propositions declined. Please wait as processing phone and email enquiries regarding the status of particular propositions diverts from work on progressing the queue.
Applications for PG Student Awards:: These have now closed with 14 applications, accompanied by full papers, for the AARE Awards Committee to assess. When the committee has made its decisions, applicants will be notified, again hopefully before the EB discount rate for registration closes on 31st August.
WORKSHOPS
PG&ECR Workshops - August:: Please see the notice on AARE website about this event where AARE members share their expertise Australia wide via WebEx and your internet connection. [Actually it is available world wide but it is in real-time so overseas members might have to join the workshop in the wee small hours or late at night depending on where they are]. AARE is keen to reach out to members wherever they are via this advanced technology. If you would like a free trial use of WebEx please contact pjeff@aare.edu.au [conditions apply].
DATES
Important dates:: The Hon. Secretary Debra Cunningham has set some dates for AARE. The call for expressions of interest for the postion of Editor of the Australian Educational Researcher close on 6^th August so that AARE Executive can consider them prior to the closing date for nominations for Executive. Nominations for AARE Executive 2005 close on Friday 6^th October 2004. A postal ballot will be conducted closing Friday 19^th November 2004. The results will be announced at the AGM on Tuesday 30^th November.
AARE NEWS:: The next AARE newsletter [the final issue for 2004] will be compiled commencing 1^st September. It will be posted on-line before being printed and distributed about 20^th September.

AER Editor - call for expression of interest

As members will be aware, the current editorial team for the AER have agreed to continue until the end of this year. Jane Kenway and her team have been editing the journal for the past three years. Jane has provided the following list to consider if you are contemplating taking over the important role for the Association.

*a team which ranges across the various fields and aspects of education (papers come in from a very broad range of specialisms)
expertise in different methodologies. Papers also come in from across the quantitative and qualitative spectrum.
extensive national and international networks so you have a wide range of people to send papers to review
good organisational skills.
time. Your university must be prepared to accept the fact that your team will be donating their time to the journal and you must be prepared to invest the time it takes to do the work which is quite labour intensive.
a sympathetic host university. Your university must be prepared not to take money off the top of the journal budget for Uni overheads and also must be prepared to provide space and facilities free of charge.
sensitivity. This is a very sensitive space for researchers and you need to be able to deal with people in a way that recognises this.
someone very well networked to do the book reviews
access to a very competent desktop publisher
access to a very skilled person to provide administrative assistance.

They must have

very good technological skills. The journal is now processed and published on line.
access to a good copy editor who is prepared to edit the journal on the computer.

The managing editor of the journal

would be expected to be quite a senior and widely recognised scholar in the field of educational research in Australia
sits on the executive of the Association. This involves participating in the broader activities of the Association as well as representing the editorial team and the interests of the journal.
will oversee the on-going activities involved in AER going online ie
- monitoring, indexing work and responding to the results of the ongoing and formative evaluation of the on line modality
- should be familiar with the contemporary politics of publishing and the digitalisation of scholarship.

The team

should include widely recognised and respected scholars as well as maybe some more junior academics but the former should dominate numerically
could be based in one university or across campuses and universities. As the journal is run totally electronically this is entirely possible.

Neither the managing editor nor the team should see the journal as an opportunity to push their own particular barrow or to publish their own or their mates' or colleagues' research. AER is intended to reflect the broad membership of the educational research community and the best standards of educational scholarship.

We wish to encourage as many teams as possible to apply. Jane is happy to discuss what is involved with any of those interested.
Jane's email address is:
jane.kenway@education.monash.edu.au or
contact Bob Meyenn - President (bmeyenn@csu.edu.au )

Formal expression of interest should be sent to the Secretary,
Debra Cunningham,
Board of Teacher Registration,
PO Box 389 Toowong QLD 4066
(DebraC@btr.qld.edu.au).

Best wishes

CONFERENCE ABSTRACTS PROCESSING UPDATE

The queue has progressed! AARE Office has now issued paper code number 642 submitted on 30/4/04 with an acknowledgement to the proposer. There are several hundred emails yet to be processed including some 40 more that came in on 30/4/04. Each proposal is assessed by 3 members of the Conference Committee who each tell the AARE Office whether it should be admitted or not. Then the author/proposer is notified of acceptance or not and refereeing if requested is commenced. Some processing is slow because proposers do not select keywords or omit other information.

UNDER PRESSURE - EXTENSION OF SUBMISSION DEADLINE: Thanks to those who have submitted their abstracts and full papers by the April 30 deadline. The Conference Committee has been impressed by the general quality of early submissions, while AARE Office has been inundated in recent days, with submissions still to be processed from last Tuesday onwards! We have also had a number of people seeking extensions, each with valid reasons for needing extra time. In view of the number of genuine requests, the Committee has decided to extend the deadline for submissions till 31 May, 2004.; Please note that extensions beyond this date cannot be granted. The timetabling of the anticipated 800 to 1000 presentation sessions is contingent on the completion of the reviewing of abstracts and refereeing of full papers, which precedes the preparation and printing of conference programme and abstract books.; Please also keep in mind that all events to be staged at the conference need to be submitted through AARE Office.

LAST DAYS FOR SUBMISSIONS TO 2004 AARE CONFERENCE
Deadline: With the 30 April deadline fast approaching for the submission of abstracts and full refereed papers, submissions are now flooding in to AARE Office. Please remember that all events you plan to stage at the conference need to be submitted through AARE Office. Don't be left out. Details [revised] of how to register for the conference and to propose a paper, symposium or other session are available on AARE's website: www.aare.edu.au New information is posted every week on the website.
Items of interest: A couple of items of interest: (i) a large proportion of the submissions we have received so far are from overseas; (ii) the refereeing of full papers is well and truly underway, with our first referees report recently in; and (iii) the Conference Committee has decided not to restrict the number of papers a person can propose (no limit), as has been the practice at some previous conferences. (Supervisors please note: if you plan to chair sessions for some of your students' presentations, it is better they nominate you as chair when submitting their abstract rather than to include you as a co-author. See website for details on how to do this.)
Sponsorship: The Conference Committee gratefully acknowledges the following official sponsors: (i) financial support from two groups - Faculty of Education, UWA and Thompson Learning Australia; and (ii) in-kind support from two groups - WebEx and Commodore Press P/L. These conference sponsors are acknowledged on AARE's website. Further sponsorships are in negotiation and opportunities exist for other interested parties.

SERVICE TO NEW PRESENTERS AT 2004 AARE CONFERENCE: Typically, paper presentations at AARE conferences are chaired by the last scheduled presenter for each group of papers in a session. This year, as part of its support for new AARE members, the Conference Committee is offering new presenters the opportunity to nominate an alternative supportive person to chair their presentation. Note that nominating a chairperson is optional, not compulsory, and requires your participation in identifying a relevant person who will need to be registered to attend the conference. Details of how to do this will be available early next week on AARE's website: http://www.aare.edu.au/; If you have already submitted your abstract and would now like to add the name of a supportive chairperson, consult the person as in the procedure outlined on the website and then send an email to aare@aare.edu.au quoting your Papercode number, and the name and email address of the chairperson so that the time- table, program and indexing work for the Abstract Book and the Program Book can be completed correctly.; Assoc.

AARE 2003 CONFERENCE PAPERS

We have put up on the AARE website some of the papers from Auckland. We are reconciling the CD from NZ to compare the papers we have published with the CD and we are progressively publishing all papers on-line on AARE website.

SOME 2003 PAPERS HAVE BEEN POSTED TO THE WEBSITE

We have put up on the AARE website the papers received on disk from Auckland
Some people didn't hand in a disk to the Auckland registration desk for them to send on to AARE.
We have a reconcilliation project to do this year to compare what was:
- handed in to NZ electronically for their CD,
  with
- the disks that were handed in at the Registration desk [for passing to AARE]
  and
- the papers we have on hard disk at AARE Office due to us conducting full paper refereeing of Australian papers on behalf of the NZ group.
[The ones we have on hard disk may not be the final versions and may not have been presented so we can't simply put them up on the web].
The NZ CD is due at the beginning of March [posted to all registrants including me].
When the NZ CD is received we will start the reconcilliation of the three sets of data.
