Call for Collaborators: Multi-Country, Multi-University Collaborative Research Projects
Call for Collaborators
We are pleased to invite scholars, graduate students, and early-career researchers to join exciting collaborative research projects. A distinguished team of scholars with shared interests in research methods, international and comparative education, mixed-methods research, media effects, and mental health is leading these projects.
Project 1: Scoping Systematic Review /PRISM studies
This project will conduct a global review of studies published over the past decade. The focus will be on identifying research trends, methodological innovations, and gaps—particularly in AI and education, media effects, mental health, social well-being, and other topics of interests. Collaborators will contribute to literature search, screening, data extraction, coding, and writing. All contributors will be credited as co-authors.
Project 2: Multi-University Mixed-Methods Study
This empirical study will involve data collection from students and participants at multiple universities across countries. Topics may include student well-being, media literacy, or AI in education. Collaborators will help design instruments, collect data locally, and contribute to analysis and manuscript development. The goal is to co-author a high-impact publication representing broad institutional participation.
Project 3: Book Projects/Special Issues Publications
Interested schoalars will join the existing book series or special issues or identify the topics of their interests. The goal is to co-author a high-impact publication representing broad institutional participation.
