Comparative Education is a peer-reviewed journal founded in 1964. The Journal normally publishes two open and two special issues per year.
The journal publishes articles which are situated in comparative education as a field of inquiry and it plays a leading role in the debates in that field. It provides rigorous analyses of educational phenomena, policies and developments that are of theoretical and practical importance. There is an expectation that articles adopt a comparative perspective, broadly defined. This does not require they directly compare aspects of education in two nations/regions but it does expect that an analysis of one setting is connected to a broader literature on patterns elsewhere, global trends or core themes in comparative education (e.g. transfer, convergence, global governance).We are particularly interested in studies investigating the interplay of global, cross-national and domestic forces in the shaping of educational ideologies, educational systems, educated identities and curricula, and patterns of teaching and learning.
Submissions of original manuscripts are welcomed from scholars engaged in high quality comparative research in all fields, including interdisciplinary studies, and from all paradigmatic perspectives in the social and human sciences. Contributors are expected, where appropriate, to engage with and build upon the existing body of scholarship published in the Journal and other significant texts in the field.

Special Issues:
We welcome proposals for special Issues (SI) that involve a thematic collection of articles which focus on a topic relevant to the journal’s aims and scope. Each SI is initially the responsibility of the guest editor(s) who will recruit and liaise with the contributing authors and be responsible for delivery of the issue in the timescale agreed. A SI normally consists of seven articles of about 9,000 words each; variants on that are possible. Detailed guidance on submitting proposals for special issues is provided in the ‘ Instructions for authors’. All articles are subject to review and the final decisions are made by the board.
Editorial Policy:
Papers submitted to Comparative Education undergo careful review. In the case of articles for open issues, there is an initial screening by the editor. Then papers deemed suitable for rigorous review are anonymised and read by members of the editorial board. Papers may also be sent to external reviewers should additional expertise be required. After detailed consideration at an editorial board meeting, a decision is reached as to whether each paper should be rejected, revised and resubmitted for further consideration, accepted with revisions, or accepted outright.
