Aims and Scope
Policy Reviews in Higher Education is an international, peer-reviewed journal publishing high-quality, original research and analysis.
The journal aims to open up a space for publishing in-depth accounts of significant areas of policy development affecting higher education and other forms of postsecondary and tertiary education internationally. We encourage authors from a range of disciplinary backgrounds to analyse higher education from fresh perspectives, including drawing on concepts and theories from other academic fields and disciplines.
Policy Reviews in Higher Education aims to influence and challenge policymaking in higher education by publishing high-quality original research and analysis which explores the implications of findings for the development and implementation of policy. We ask authors to include a full evaluation of the implications and the implementation of their findings and analysis for policy/policymaking.

Policy Reviews in Higher Education actively encourages contributions which are:
- Original and provide in-depth analysis.

- Reflections on implications for policy and decision-making affecting higher education and other forms of postsecondary and tertiary education, regionally and internationally.

We actively discourage single case studies which do not seek to address implications or lessons for policy.
