2. What is the Journal of Online Learning
Research?
• Academic journal sponsored by SITE and AACE.
• Published 3 times per year
• Index in Google Scholar, LearnTechLib, and others
• 100% No Fee Open Access
• The journal focuses on K-12 online, hybrid, and distance learning
• Many of our authors are educational leaders studying their own contexts,
but articles also come from collaborations between academic researchers
and schools

3. What are the sections of JOLR?
• General section—empirical (research question-driven) articles where data
was collected and analyzed. Articles are usually 6-8,000 words.
• International section—shorter perspectives on practice specifically from
scholars outside of the U.S. Articles are usually 3-5,000 words.
• Practitioner corner—shorter illustrations of problem, data collection,
analysis, action, and evaluation from educational leaders, digital learning
organizations, and more. Articles are usually about 1,000-3,500 words.
• Special issues—guest editors develop a call, review proposals, invite
authors, and help finalize the issue
