  • The International Journal of Management Education

    • ISSN: 1472-8117
    The International Journal of Management Education provides a forum for scholarly reporting and discussion of developments in all aspects of teaching and learning in business and management. The Journal seeks reflective papers which bring together pedagogy and theories of management learning; descriptions of innovative teaching which include critical reflection on implementation and outcomes will also be considered.The editors particularly welcome submissions on: • Critical perspectives on education and its institutional development in all the business and management disciplines; • Changes in the structure of business and management education and the changing roles of management educators; • Relationships of business and management programmes to employers' needs; • Globalisation of business and responsible management education in advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.By promoting critical discussion on current innovations within these areas, the journal represents an excellent forum for highlighting the profile of management education on both a national and international level.The International Journal of Management Education is the outlet for educational research and developments within business, management, accountancy and finance.Professor Neil Marriott Deputy Vice Chancellor Dean, Faculty of Business, Law and Sport Director, Winchester Business School
  • The Internet and Higher Education

    • ISSN: 1096-7516
    A Quarterly Review of Innovations in Post-secondary EducationThe Internet and Higher Education is a quarterly journal devoted to addressing contemporary issues and future developments related to Internet-enabled learning and teaching in higher education settings. It is a peer-reviewed journal intended to be a vehicle for scholarly presentation and dissemination of contributions significantly addressing innovative uses of Internet technology in learning and teaching, and reporting on research to demonstrate the effects of the Internet on the quality and/or the equity of learning and teaching in higher education contexts. The key findings must inform practices and/or policies, and contribute to the scholarship of Internet-enabled higher education learning and teaching. For example, research on topics such as MOOCs and professional development must have clear implications for individuals who teach and learn in higher education institutions.The journal is international and interdisciplinary, inviting contributions from across the globe and from various academic disciplines. Special issues are often devoted to specific emerging areas of study with guest editors assisting in the editorial process.The scope of the journal is broad in terms of the range of Internet-related issues and trends to be addressed in the higher education teaching and learning context. We welcome manuscripts on topics including but not limited to pedagogical and technological innovations in online and blended learning; online learning interactions and collaborations; online learning communities; institutional policies and strategies to drive and support online learning and teaching; internationalization and cultural aspects of online classrooms; online assessment and feedback; faculty professional development for online learning; and approaches to online course development. Across all topics, we seek to publish high-quality empirical manuscripts with strong conceptual frameworks and rigorous methods.
  • Early Childhood Research Quarterly

    • ISSN: 0885-2006
    Early Childhood Research Quarterly (ECRQ) publishes research on early childhood education and development from birth through 8 years of age. ECRQ publishes only empirical research (quantitative or mixed methods) on issues of interest to early childhood development, theory, and educational practice.The journal also occasionally publishes significant, rigorous meta-analytic reviews of research. It will no longer publish non-quantitative reviews, such as systematic or scoping reviews. As an applied research journal, we are interested in work that has social, policy, and educational relevance and implications and work that strengthens links between research and practice.Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:• Children's social, emotional, cognitive, behavioral, language, and motor development applied to early childhood settings.• Center- and home-based care, program quality, and children's transition to school• Program evaluations related to early intervention, prevention or interventions that will influence early childhood education practice and policy• Implementation science related to early childhood education initiatives• Public policy, early childhood education, and child development• Best classroom practices and effective early childhood curricula• Caregiver professional development and training and well-being• Relationships between early childhood education and family or parental engagement• The larger contexts and systems including schools, neighborhoods and communities in which early childhood education programs take place.
  • The Journal of Mathematical Behavior

    • ISSN: 0732-3123
    The Journal of Mathematical Behavior is an international, double anonymized peer reviewed journal concerned with the learning and teaching of mathematics. Our fundamental goal is to publish research of the highest quality that expands understanding of how people build, retain, communicate, apply, and comprehend mathematical ideas. The Journal of Mathematical Behavior welcomes theoretical and empirical research from diverse methodologies and paradigms. The journal focuses on research about learning and teaching of mathematics at all ages, in formal as well as informal contexts. The intended audience for this journal includes researchers who concentrate on the learning and teaching of mathematics, learning scientists, mathematicians, educators, teachers of mathematics, cognitive scientists, and linguists.
  • International Journal of Educational Research

    • ISSN: 0883-0355
    The International Journal of Educational Research (IJER) publishes high-quality research that advances understanding of education, learning, and development across all educational stages and diverse international contexts. The journal serves researchers, practitioners, and policy makers, providing a platform for rigorous, relevant, and impactful studies.IJER aims to:Advance Knowledge and Theory: Publish research that makes significant theoretical, empirical, or conceptual contributions to understanding educational processes and outcomes of education, learning, and development across all educational stages and contexts.Ensure International Relevance: Encourage studies whose findings, implications, or methods are applicable across multiple educational contexts worldwide.Support Methodological and Paradigmatic Diversity: Welcome research using quantitative, qualitative, mixed, or innovative approaches, and from diverse theoretical perspectives.Promote Innovation and Critical Perspectives: Highlight studies that challenge established paradigms, introduce new ideas, or offer alternative approaches to educational research.Address Contemporary and Emerging Issues: Focus on research related to current global educational challenges, including technology and AI, social-emotional learning, learner and teacher well-being, equity and inclusion, culturally responsive pedagogy, personalized learning, sustainability, and global education trends.Foster Ethical, Inclusive, and Collaborative Research: Value ethical rigor, inclusivity of diverse voices and knowledge traditions, and international collaboration, including team-based and cross-national research initiatives.Communic... Clearly and Accessibly: Encourage authors to present research in a way that is understandable and meaningful to a broad international audience of researchers, practitioners, and policy makers.Through these aims, IJER maintains its commitment to publishing high-quality, internationally significant research while embracing innovation, diversity, and the evolving challenges in education globally.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. However, the journal's aim is to ensure it publishes high quality research that could potentially inform research, policy, or practice beyond the context in which the original work is undertaken.The research reported does not have to be comparative in the traditional 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. Work can be drawn from any context or research paradigm. All papers, even those that focus on only one country's case study, must engage with broader theories and discussions in the field. We are specifically looking for originality and clear significance to an international readership.All manuscripts submitted to the Journal must have the following features:Explanation of how the question addressed in the paper relates to the existing literature;Explicitl... stated research question;Detailed description of the research design and data analysis;Discussion of the results (a) in light of the existing literature, (b) highlighting how the results inform research, policy, or practice beyond the context in which the original work is undertaken;All advice listed in the 'Instructions for Authors' must be followedAs well as papers, which report the findings of empirical research, papers, which provide critical literature reviews of research on specific educational topics of international interest, will also be welcome. Literature reviews need to explain in great detail the systematic procedures used for the selection of the literature included in the analysis.Types of publicationThe International Journal of Educational Research publishes research papers and special issues on specific topics of interest to international audiences of educational researchers. Regular issues of research papers have an open call for manuscripts. Strong manuscripts will be reviewed. There is an Editorial Board policy that weaker manuscripts or manuscripts that do not follow the Guidelines for Authors will be rejected before review.Special issues are usually composed of individually invited manuscripts handled by a guest editor. Guest editors have responsibility for putting together the author team and handling the peer review process. Note that proposals for Special Issues must follow the format descripted in the Guide for Authors.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. The journal uses double anonymized peer reviews, meaning any reviewers are unable to establish the author(s) of a manuscript. 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.
  • Learning and Individual Differences

    • ISSN: 1041-6080
    Journal of Psychology and EducationLearning and Individual Differences is a research journal devoted to publishing articles of individual differences as they relate to learning within an educational context. The Journal focuses on original empirical studies of high theoretical and methodological rigor that make a substantial scientific contribution and advance our knowledge on individual differences as they relate to cognitive and/or non-cognitive features across diverse learning contexts. The Journal receives submissions from different fields such as psychology, educational sciences, and the learning sciences and welcomes interdisciplinary research.Learning and Individual Differences publishes original research. There are three types of original articles: Full length articles, brief reports, and multistudy reports. Full length articles should be no longer than 8000 words of primary text (not including abstract, educational relevance and implications statement, tables, figures, references, and other materials). Brief reports should be no longer than 4000 words of primary text (not including abstract, educational relevance and implications statement, tables, figures, references, and other materials). Multistudy reports should be no longer than 12000 words of primary text (not including abstract, educational relevance and implications statement, tables, figures, references, and other materials). Systematic reviews with or without meta-analysis should be no longer than 15000 words of primary text (not including abstract, educational relevance and implications statement, tables, figures, references, and other materials).The core criteria for whether a manuscript is published are its scientific rigor and the new knowledge that it adds to the existing body of knowledge. To this end, we are particularly looking for manuscripts that report on longitudinal data analyses, include data on diverse (in the best case representative) or underrepresented populations, and combine several sources of information such as self-report and objective performance data. Inclusion of power calculations where appropriate is considered an advantage. Manuscripts that don't meet these criteria such as studies that are cross-sectional (in particular when they report mediation analyses), stem from highly specific samples, and include only self-reports need to make a strong case on why they advance our knowledge to a sufficient level for inclusion in the Journal and have a higher likelihood of not being considered for publication in Learning and Individual Differences.
