Vol. 5 No. 2 (2024): Special Interest Groups Special Edition

This special issue is guest edited by the RAISE Network Special Interest Groups (SIGs) Co-Convenors: Early Career Researchers (ECRs) and the Research and Evaluation (R&E) SIGs. 

The two SIGs formed a Collaborative Writing project in late 2022 to provide colleagues, either as Early Careers Researchers in higher education or those new in student engagement from the RAISE community, an opportunity to work and publish student engagement-related topics. The project supports the development of this group of colleagues to demystify publication, increasing the confidence of learning how to come up with an idea (i.e., perhaps something they have been working on as part of their role daily) to write an article for publication in line with this journal’s developmental route. We are delighted to see this issue published as part of our work with early career researchers and those new to student engagement. Congratulations to all authors!
