ALARA Monograph Series

The monograph series provides an opportunity for authors to publish quality refereed work that is more extensive than the length of a conventional paper. Authors thus are expected to present in-depth information and analysis on a topic.

The monograph case studies will contribute to theoretical and practical understanding of action research and action learning in applied settings.

The monographs are targeted at a broad range audience including practitioners, academics, researchers, leaders, community workers, students, etc. A key emphasis is on the fact that the monographs will be formally refereed and only quality case studies will be published. In this situation, quality refers to

• evidence of rigorous data collection
• strong theoretical underpinning
• deep reflection on results and
• professionally written using APA guidelines.

Case studies in this refereed series contribute to theoretical and practical understandings of action research and action learning in applied settings. They deal with:

• completed action research cases, successful and unsuccessful;
• partial successes and failures;
• work in progress;
• several cases assembled to illustrate important issues; and/or
• problemative issues in current cases.

Eileen Piggot-Irvine is the Editor, supported by a Monograph editorial team and the ALARA Publications Working Group. Accepted monographs will be published here on the ALARA website.
