Papers published in
Studies in Continuing Education aim to address scholars outside the specific context of application. This might involve use of theory, use of literature beyond immediate profession or context.
The editors (David Boud and Nick Hopwood) have made a
short video explaining some of the key points and common pitfalls, which you can watch through
this link.
Papers from all countries are welcome. They should be written in ways that are accessible to an international audience, and speak to issues of international relevance, even if the study on which they are based is located in one country.
Studies in Continuing Education publishes empirical papers, but also conceptual work, reflections on theory and practice.
Papers published will draw on a range of methodologies and will represent diverse theoretical approaches. They may apply concepts from other areas to the field of continuing education, or develop/propose new concepts or theoretical frameworks.
Accounts of innovations that make a contribution to wider field of continuing education are welcome, but these must be conceptualised and be well-located in the literature. Papers which are primarily evaluations of programs are not encouraged.
Critical reviews of issues in the field are particularly sought.
Special issues on key themes, debates, concepts are published from time to time. Anyone wishing to proposal a special issue should approach the first editor with suggestions for a theme and ideas for guest editors.
Book reviews and reviews of other published material may also be included.
All papers in
Studies in Continuing Education will have undergone rigorous double-anonymized peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymised refereeing by at least two independent expert referees.
