Journal overview

Educational Research is an international peer-reviewed research journal which, since its inception in 1958, has contributed as a leading international forum for informed thinking on all issues of contemporary concern in education.

As the journal of the National Foundation for Educational Research (NFER), Educational Research is committed to publishing research of interest to academics, researchers and those concerned with mediating research findings to policy makers and practitioners. The journal presents research in a way that is accessible for the educational reader who may not share an author’s particular specialism or context.

The journal has a deliberately broad scope and publishes quantitative and qualitative research articles, literature reviews, and theoretical discussion pieces concerned with critical inquiry in and of education. This wide coverage enables discussion of topical issues and policies affecting education and educational establishments worldwide.
