Abstract

Research communities play an essential role in fostering high quality research. The traditional view of a research community, however, is changing due to the increased fragmentation and specialization of research, especially in the social sciences. This paper describes the concept of Micro Research Communities and discusses their advantages and disadvantages for educational researchers. The paper also outlines a process for identifying, developing, and fostering Micro Research Communities.
