Aims and scope

Deafness & Education International is an international peer-reviewed journal that publishes high-quality original research about the education of children and young people who are deaf or hard of hearing. The Editors welcome manuscripts that are rigorous, adhere to ethical guidance, show thoroughness in the way the conclusions have been reached, and add important findings to the sector. The field of deaf education covers many disciplines including education, sociology, psychology, anthropology, linguistics, cultural studies and speech science. The Editors encourage authors to consider the implications of research findings to practice because the journal is read by educators and other professionals working directly with children and young people who are deaf or hard of hearing. Authors are also encouraged to apply findings to the international context. Manuscripts must be written in clear and accurate English and strictly adhere to the APA7 style guidelines.

Deafness & Education International follows an anonymous peer review process so that the reviewers do not know the author's name, and the author does not know the reviewer's name. The anonymous review process is essential for maintaining the integrity of the journal. Each manuscript will be reviewed promptly to determine if it is relevant to the scope of D&EI. If the manuscript meets the criteria, it will enter the peer-review process. Please see instructions for authors for additional information.

Authors can choose to publish gold open access in this journal.
