The Internet and Higher Education

ISSN: 1096-7516
5 Year impact factor: 11
Impact factor: 8.6

A Quarterly Review of Innovations in Post-secondary Education The 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.

The Journal of Academic Librarianship

ISSN: 0099-1333
5 Year impact factor: 2.1
Impact factor: 2.6

The Journal of Academic Librarianship, an international and refereed journal, publishes articles that focus on problems and issues germane to college and university libraries. JAL provides a forum for authors to present research findings and their practical applications and significance; analyze policies, practices, issues, and trends; speculate about the future of academic librarianship; present analytical bibliographic essays and philosophical treatises. JAL also provides special features in each issue which include information on academic library technology issues, research in international librarianship, digests of special reports, and a guide to sources and analysis of library metrics. Out of scope JAL frequently receives high-quality and interesting submissions that are rejected due to the topic being outside the scope of the journal. JAL focuses specifically on college and university libraries. Topics related to school libraries (i.e. K-12 education, primary and secondary education) are outside the scope of the journal, unless they are explicitly discussed within the context of college and university libraries. Furthermore, topics that deal specifically with library and information science (LIS) education are also outside the scope of the journal, unless the topic is applicable to working in or the operations of college and university libraries. Finally, we do not consider general bibliometric studies unless they are about topics that are specific to academic libraries (e.g. information literacy, digital humanities, research data management) or present novel methods of analysis or visualization that are relevant to academic library practitioners and scholars. Benefits to authors We also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Thinking Skills and Creativity

ISSN: 1871-1871
5 Year impact factor: 4.1
Impact factor: 3.7

This leading international journal, launched in 2006, uniquely identifies and details critical issues in the future of learning and teaching of creativity, as well as innovations in teaching for thinking. As a peer-reviewed forum for interdisciplinary researchers and communities of researcher-practitioner-educators, the journal welcomes papers that represent a variety of theoretical perspectives. In particular, the journal is interested in papers that advance new and existing methodological approaches, and are innovative works on the theories, practices and possibilities of creativity and thinking skills research. Papers may relate to any age level and any settings: formal and informal, education and work-based as long as they connect to the learning and teaching, facilitation and/or practice teaching for thinking and/or creativity. While there is no universal agreement about the dimensions of thinking skills and creativity or their themes, debates and terms, we welcome methodological advancements and critiques that progress current thinking and stimulate developments about the naming and framing of boundaries and related fields of knowledge. The journal particularly welcomes several types of research article: Empirical studies which address critical issues in the future of learning and teaching, facilitation and practice, directly relevant to advancing thinking skills relevant to the enquiry and advancement of creativity; Critical reports of research practices and innovation in identifying major debates in advancing thinking skills and creativity; Synthetic reviews; New departures in methodological, theoretical and conceptual case studies. Submissions to the journal are judged on the engagement of research and scholarship designed to advance creativity and thinking skills research. The major criteria for acceptance of a research article will be its relevance, its importance and its contribution to the field of teaching for thinking and creativity, and its persuasive, analytical and critical quality.

Transport Policy

ISSN: 0967-070X
5 Year impact factor: 6.2
Impact factor: 6.8

The official journal of the World Conference on Transport Research Society (WCTRS) Transport Policy is an international refereed journal aimed at improving quality of transport policy and strategy analysis, designing and sharing innovative policy and management practices, and application bridging the gap between theory and practice in transport. Its subject areas reflect the concerns of policymakers in government, management strategists in industry, and the public at large, providing independent, original and rigorous analysis to understand how policy and strategy decisions have been made, monitor their effects, and suggest how they may be improved. The journal covers the entire transport sector including all modes: air, maritime, urban, intercity, domestic and international transport economics, policy and strategy issues, etc. Policy and strategy concerns in transport are wide and cover safety, efficiency, economic development, infrastructure, environment, energy, land-use, equity and access. Papers are expected to have clear policy and strategy relevance, to analyze/evaluate transport policies and strategies using up-to-date research methods (both quantitative and qualitative). Papers are also welcomed which focus on understanding the nature and influences affecting policy and strategy change, including technical, attitudinal, institutional, structural and political constraints, including those which provide a comparative analysis. Papers focusing only on methodological development without clear policy focus and relevance will NOT be considered. However, we welcome qualitative policy papers that build on the body of literature, and show clear contributions over and above what exist in the literature, and/or widely applicable to other jurisdictions. (Qualitative papers will NOT be considered if the author(s) advocate certain policy positions without presenting a rigorous framework of analysis.) Papers that focus entirely on individual case studies are more appropriate for our sister journal Case Studies in Transport Policy. Types of Paper: Full articles: Articles should normally be no longer that 8000 words. Authors are responsible for ensuring that all manuscripts (whether original or revised) are accurate before final submission. Manuscripts must be submitted on-line through Editorial Manager. Initial submissions may be submitted through the "My Paper My Way" approach, but final acceptances will require completion to the Elsevier standard. Shorter Items: Shorter items of between 1500 and 2500 words are also welcomed. These can take the form of a Topical Issues paper, which allows for the expression of reasoned opinion that may stimulate debate. Such articles should clearly signal how the debate relates to the literature and why it is topical for a significant part of the global readership. This section also welcomes reports on noteworthy developments from conferences and seminars. The editors may invite responses to such papers from other commentators. The shorter form article is not well suited to describing research projects. Special Issues: Proposals for Special Issues are welcome. Proposals should contain a clear set of objectives, and indication of the number of papers and likely authors. All papers in Special Issues are refereed to the same standard as normal submitted papers. AUDIENCE: Local, national and international government agencies and their advisers, responsible for transport policy implementation; academics and researchers involved in teaching and analysis; managers and analysts in the transport industries responsible for strategy formulation and evaluation; activists in the voluntary sector, charities and campaigning groups; students of transport studies, economics, business studies, engineering, geography, planning, sociology and environmental studies

Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives

The Transportation Research family of journals forms the most cohesive and comprehensive reference of current research in transportation science. Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives (TRIP) is an addition to the family which accepts papers on any topic within the scope of any of Parts A-F. It is an interdisciplinary journal concerned with any and all social science aspects of transportation. The journal is the destination for rapid communication from acceptance to publication of quality research on transportation, and publishes research articles, review articles, case studies, research notes, tutorials and opinion pieces. It particularly welcomes articles reporting negative or controversial results and new (and less mature) ideas. Articles are relevant to both academics and practitioners, and are the results of anonymous reviews by at least two referees chosen by the editor for their specialist knowledge. TRIP aims for rapid review. TRIP welcomes papers of many kinds, including those where: the research is multi-disciplinary and straddles Transportation Research Parts A-F; the research is novel, untested, integrative, promising and lacks an established venue for publication; the research uses novel methods or mixed methods; the research is policy or practice oriented; the research focuses on education, training and curriculum development; the research includes and supports efforts in low income developing countries; case studies and evaluations of local, state and provincial transportation projects are welcome; the work of consultants, industry, think tanks and government agencies is highlighted; summaries of presentations made at international conferences and workshops as well as Elsevier sponsored events; TRIP also welcomes editorial think pieces which focus on transportation research needs and developments and advocacy for improved research; share best practices in terms of research methods, data access, reporting and management. TRIP is supported by an experienced international editorial board whose members also serve on the editorial boards of the parent Part journals.
