Summary
The conversation that this chapter reports articulates how community “gatekeepers” (Journal Editors and Conference Chairs) view the field of Computing Education Research in 2017. It examines the process of publication, including the role of reviewers; it exposes which topics and approaches are a focus of interest and which in decline. It charts the changing composition of both authors and audience for Computing Education Research work. In conclusion, the closely contextualised approach to research that this chapter follows is placed in contrast to work based on abstracted bibliographic analysis and taxonomic classification.
