Thought some of you might find this of interest... would be curious to have Dennis and Arturo's take on this organization/publication. I looked at the speaker bios for Breckenridge and several use their SL avatars for their bio pics!

From what I know of it, innovate online is a peer-reviewed publication. It isn't a refereed one.
ReplyDeleteRemember that a peer-reviewed article must pass the scrutiny of reviewers who are experts in the field or on the research topic of the article.
A refereed article is an article which has been carefully reviewed and scrutinized by scholars or experts in the research topic of the article who are not members of the editorial staff or board. In many cases the article has been subjected to a blind review process by one or more external readers.
The difference seems to be an issue of whether they use external scholars for the review or not.
All that to say that I think this would be a good forum for a potential publication.
