The Aletheia Society

We are alarmed by recent federal actions that threaten the integrity of education research. We join many other special education organizations, journals, and scholars, and affirming our commitment to scientific integrity. aletheia-society.org/2025/02/24/sta…

Science isn't just for reading. Check out the response of @sarahpowellphd, @EricaLembke, Brad Witzel, and other leaders in math education for students with disabilities to the recent NCTM/CEC position statement on our website. aletheia-society.org/2024/12/19/res…

We’re on Bluesky! 🎉 Follow us: Aletheia Society: @aletheiasociety.bsky.social SERA: @edaccelerator.bsky.social RiSE Journal: @rise-open-journal.bsky.social Plus, we’ve launched RiSE, a Diamond Open Access journal advancing research for individuals with disabilities! 🌟

Please consider participating in RiSE and other fully open journals in the field by serving as a reviewer, submitting papers, and sharing the open articles with interested parties.

Check out RiSE’s editorial board (riseopenjournal.org/editorialteam/), of which we couldn’t be more proud. This diverse group of experts will provide constructive, positive, and timely input to papers submitted to the journal. Contact us if you’re interested in serving as reviewer.

We accept submissions of all types of research in special education and related fields as well as commentaries and practical guides related to that research. We encourage submission of registered reports, rigorous studies with null or negative findings, and replication research.

Unlike traditional journals where most articles are behind paywalls and authors have to pay (typically thousands of dollars) to make an article freely accessible, all the rigorous scholarship published in RiSE is openly accessible to all at no cost to authors.

Aletheia’s new open-access journal has launched! Check out Research in Special Education (RiSE), where all publications are open to everyone at no cost to authors! Journal: riseopenjournal.org Press release: tinyurl.com/3cmufchb

We finished collecting data for the SERA Pilot Study in 2022! We are incredibly grateful for all our SERA Research Partners who participated in this pilot study, including @DrAmyPhd and Dr. James Stocker, who wrote this post summarizing their experience. edresearchaccelerator.org/2023/05/23/ser…

SERA Research Partners and other ed researchers: Check out the great sessions, like this one, related to open science @ this free, online conference.

Are you like Sheila and don't have the time or resources to lead large-scale studies, but are interested in co-authoring high-quality, open research in special education? Consider becoming a SERA Research Partner. edresearchaccelerator.org/about/partners/

We 😍 Sheila Conway's comment: "As clinical faculty, I find it difficult to lead large independent research projects, given my teaching and administrative responsibilities. As a partner on SERA collaborative projects, I can make contributions in a feasible and impactful manner."
