RiDE: The Journal of Applied Theatre and Performance is a refereed journal aimed at those with an interest in applying performance practices to cultural engagement, education and social change. The Journal provides an international forum for innovative research into drama and theatre conducted in community, education, developmental and therapeutic contexts. RiDE publishes original research that is urgent, timely or significant for the field and offers analysis and critique of the discipline. The Points and Practices section invites short articles, of between 1800-3000 words that discuss contemporary practice, research-in-progress, considerations of single projects, or pieces which might respond directly to the Journal’s longer articles. We welcome contributions from emerging practitioners and researchers from across the globe, as well as more established practitioners and academics.

All reviewers are internationally recognized in their field, and the editorial board of Research in Drama Education aims to support scholars from many different parts of the world.

Understanding and using journal metrics
Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors
who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication.
However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s
quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it
should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to
support and not replace qualitative review.
We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside
other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its
readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In
addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and
never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.
Usage and acceptance rate data above are for the last full calendar year
and are updated annually in February. Speed data is updated every six
months, based on the prior six months. Citation metrics are updated
annually mid-year. Please note that some journals do not display all of
the following metrics
(find out why).
