Marcos "Danny" Caballero, John Aiken, and I (Alexis Knaub) are serving as guest editors for a Phys. Rev.- PER Focused Collection, "Quantitative Methods in PER: A Critical Examination." Below is more info. The goal of this Focused Collection is to provide a set of research articles that critically examine current tools and analysis techniques used in PER for quantitative data as well as those that offer new and interesting methods that might not be currently used in PER. We invite manuscripts that examine and challenge standard quantitative research methods in PER as well as those that use novel analysis techniques to provide new insights into data. Rather than simply present what is available, this collection will delve into differences among current tools and techniques to support researchers in making informed choices for their quantitative work. Submissions from the broader DBER community are welcomed!! 500 word proposal due Oct 31.
