Description
Individual papers can now be submitted
The International Journal of Educational Research
has always published special issues on specific topics of interest to international audiences of educational researchers. It now also
accepts submissions of individual papers.
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: follow link from this page]
