About this journal
Aims and scope
European Education is published in association with the Comparative Education Society in Europe (CESE). It is an international peer-reviewed journal devoted to original inquiries and dialogue on education across the member states of the Council of Europe. Established in 1969, the journal features articles on education in individual member states, comparative studies on education across Europe, as well as the impact of European education initiatives globally. The journal especially encourages theoretical and empirical studies, interdisciplinary perspectives, and critical examination of the impact of political, economic, and social forces on education. European Education includes reviews of books and educational films, including those published/produced in English and other languages.
In addition, we publish a blog - http://www.european-education.org - which features interviews with authors and commentaries on articles published in the journal from a diverse range of viewpoints and perspectives.
The journal is published quarterly, with at least one thematic issue per year. Electronic submissions should be emailed to the editors at [email protected].
Peer Review Policy:
All articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous double anonymized peer-review by at least two referees.

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.
For more details, please read the Author Services guide to understanding journal metrics.
