Wiley Education Roundtable Series
The Wiley Roundtable Series in Educational Research brings together key international thinkers from across the discipline to discuss key themes around research and its impact.

April 2012: Second Wiley Roundtable in Educational Research: Putting Research into Practice, Vancouver, Canada
The Roundtable held at the AERA 2012 conference - hosted by Wiley’s global Education team - brought together representatives from international journals including:
• British Educational Research Journal
• British Journal of Educational Psychology
• British Journal of Educational Technology
• Educational Philosophy and Theory
• Journal of Philosophy of Education
The group shared a lively discussion about the relationship between research and practice. It considered why academics write and for whom, how policy and grant-awarding practices affect the nature of research that is being produced and how Editors develop their content for varied readerships.
We were ultimately reminded of the powerful interrelationship between researchers, students, teachers and educational professionals, teacher-educators and policy makers who each, in their own ways, impact profoundly on the work of the others.
September 2011: First Wiley Roundtable in Educational Research: Academic Publishing in the Digital World, Berlin, Germany
The inaugural Roundtable - chaired by Wiley-Blackwell's Commissioning Editor for Education Journals, Rebecca Launchbury - brought together representatives from journals including:
• British Educational Research Journal
• British Journal of Special Education
• Cambridge Journal of Education
• International Journal of Art & Design Education
• Journal of Philosophy of Education
• Journal of Research in Special Educational Needs (JORSEN)
The event provided a dynamic forum for discussion about the ways in which new technologies and online innovation can influence the dissemination, perceived value and use of academic research. We
• Considered what authors, editors and readers want and expect from academic research in an online environment
• Shared experience and ideas about using new technologies and online innovation to enhance published research and publicise it as widely as possible
• Identified opportunities and considered best practice for using online tools to help maximise the impact of research
