Quality in Higher Education is aimed at those interested in the theory, practice and policies relating to the control, management and improvement of quality in higher education.
The journal is receptive to critical, phenomenological as well as positivistic studies. The journal would like to publish more studies that use hermeneutic, semiotic, ethnographic or dialectical research as well as the more traditional studies based on quantitative surveys and in-depth interviews and focus groups.
Papers that have empirical research content are particularly welcome. The editor especially wishes to encourage papers on:
- reported research results, especially where these assess the impact of quality assurance systems, procedures and methodologies;
- theoretical analyses of quality and quality initiatives in higher education; comparative evaluation and international aspects of practice and policy with a view to identifying transportable methods, systems and good practice;
- quality assurance and standards monitoring of transnational higher education;
- the nature and impact and student feedback;
- improvements in learning and teaching that impact on quality and standards;
- links between quality assurance and employability;
- evaluations of the impact of quality procedures at national level, backed up by research evidence.
Note that Quality in Higher Education publishes system-wide analyses and comparative studies between institutions or countries but rarely publishes single institution studies (unless it is an illustrative case study as part of a much broader analysis). Nor do we publish articles about quality in other contexts (such as quality control in manufacturing) or articles about higher education in general. It is important for contributors to refer to the ‘ Instructions for authors’ before submitting papers.
