The Georgia Educational Researcher is a blind peer reviewed journal published bi-annually in the Fall and Spring by the Georgia Educational Research Association (GERA).  The journal has been out of print for approximately three years.  Prior to 1999 the journal was available in paperback form. As of the Fall 2003 edition, GER was made available to the public free of charge on the Internet at http://coefaculty.valdosta.edu/lschmert/gera . Beginning in 2012 the journal Website will be moved to http://www.gaera.org/ger_journal.html

Contents of the journal may be reproduced in part or in their entirety for educational  purposes without permission from the publisher. All reproductions must include the appropriate notation of publication information by GER and the statement that the material  was reproduced with the permission of the publisher.

Manuscripts will  be considered for publication if  they are original material and are not being considered  for publication elsewhere. 

In addition to traditional research articles using a variety of methodologies and representative  forms, GER will consider publication of research reports, review essays, interviews, commentaries, think pieces, book reviews, articles on  teaching  educational research, reflections on doing educational research,  practitioner reflections, and action research. At times, theme-focused editions will be published.

GER welcomes proposals for theme-focused editions and volunteers to edit such editions.
