Individual papers can now be submitted
The International Journal of Educational Research publishes regular papers
and special issues on specific topics of interest to international audiences of educational researchers. Examples of recent Special
Issues published in the journal illustrate the breadth of topics that have be included in the journal: 'Students' Perspectives on Learning
Environments', Social, Motivational and Emotional Aspects of Learning Disabilities', Epistemological Beliefs and Domain', 'Analyzing
Mathematics Classroom Cultures and Practices', and 'Music Education: A site for collaborative creativity.'
Please note that
proposals for special issues must be in the format described in the Guide for Authors.
What can papers/special issues be
about?
Proposals for special issues and individual papers can be on any contemporary educational topic of international interest.
Reports of high quality educational research involving any discipline and methodology will be welcome. The journal's purpose is to enable
researchers throughout the world to engage more easily with findings and issues which are relevant to their own interests.
The
research reported does not have to be comparative (in the sense of comparing aspects of education in different countries or cultures);
a paper may report research carried out in just one location or cultural setting. But to be eligible for publication, a paper must:
• deal with a topic which is of interest to a substantial international audience of educational researchers
• explain
the research in a way which will be comprehensible to an international audience of researchers
• draw out explicitly in a discussion
of the research those issues or themes which are likely to have international relevance.
As well as papers which report the findings
of empirical research, papers which review research on specific educational topics of international interest will also be welcome.
How are papers assessed?
Papers (including those in special issues) are subject to a peer review process, using an international
panel of researchers who are expert in relevant fields. Referees are asked to judge the quality of research and also the relevance and
accessibility of a paper for an international audience. For special issues, referees are asked first to judge the quality of a proposal,
and then to judge the entire contents of a draft issue. [More detailed information on this process is provided under Guide for Authors:
