University of Wyoming Libraries to Launch Journal of Open Educational Resources in Higher Education

March 15, 2022 by Gary Price

From the University of Wyoming

University of Wyoming Libraries soon will launch the Journal of Open Educational Resources in Higher Education (JOERHE), a new, open peer-reviewed journal.

The journal is currently accepting scholarly articles that critically analyze the role of open educational resources (OER) in higher education for its debut issue. The journal is anticipated to launch this fall.

JOERHE, a noncommercial open access journal that will be published once a year by UW Libraries, offers librarians, instructors and other OER experts a platform for their scholarship on OER, open pedagogy, open access and similar topics focused specifically within the context of higher education.

For those interested in learning from others working with OER in their daily practice, visit JOERHE’s OER and Beyond blog. This timely blog provides a space for librarians, professors and other educators to engage with one another about the nuances involved in working with OER.

“OER is an equity issue. We cannot continue to keep students from information that has the power to transform their lives,” says Christi Boggs, associate director of digital teaching and learning at the UW Ellbogen Center for Teaching and Learning, and an editorial advisory board member of JOERHE. “This journal will help faculty worldwide to find resources and best practices, and illustrate the impact their OER materials had on their respective communities.”

In addition to peer-reviewed research, JOERHE features an editorially reviewed columns section where invited contributors present case studies, experiential essays, notes from the field and similar shorter-form entries. JOERHE also solicits and publishes reviews on select OER by qualified experts.

The journal’s editors-in-chief are Samantha Peter, instructional design librarian at UW Libraries; Hilary Baribeau, scholarly communications librarian at Colby College; and Kristina Clement, student outreach and sponsored programs librarian and librarian assistant professor at Kennesaw State University.

For a full list of editors and advisory board members, visit https://journals.uwyo.edu/index.php/joerhe/about/editorialTeam.

JOERHE welcomes quantitative and qualitative research articles and discussion pieces concerning OER in higher education. Authors are encouraged to discuss the practical applications of their knowledge and findings, propose best practices, discuss theoretical models and frameworks, and describe their programmatic and practical experiences.

Submissions for JOERHE’s fall 2022 issue are due June 15. For full submission details or questions, visit JOERHE’s website.
