Aims and scope

Educational Studies aims to provide a forum for original investigations and theoretical studies in education. The journal publishes fully refereed papers which cover applied and theoretical approaches to the study of education.

Papers should constitute original research, and should be methodologically sound, theoretically informed, and of relevance to an international audience.

The journal is particularly interested in research that aims to inform educational practice(s) within and/or across sectors. Whilst the journal is principally concerned with the social sciences, contributions from a wider field are also encouraged. Empirically-based papers are particularly welcome.
