About this journal
Aims and scope
Educational media has made a considerable impact on schools, educational institutions and providers of open and distance education. Educational Media International (EMI) is a scholarly journal that publishes research, evaluation, and development studies addressing the issues, successes and challenges faced in the design, development, implementation and evaluation of educational media.
Educational Media International provides a forum for the exchange of information and ideas on new developments in educational media. Contributions are drawn from academics, educators and media professionals whose ideas and experiences come from a number of countries and contexts. Priority is given to papers that reveal novel concepts of broad interest to the educational media community. We place a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary research that reflects the diversity of the educational technology profession. We also publish articles and seek to stimulate research in emerging educational media areas, such as those created by globalization, technology developments, public policy shifts, future trends and innovation.
Peer Review Policy:
All articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by two anonymous referees from a panel of international scholars and researchers.

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.
