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.

Society information
The ATEE aims to enhance the quality of Teacher Education in Europe through active dialogue and international exchange of research and practice in initial and in-service teacher education.
Teacher Education implies all activities, which develop and enhance the professional competences of teachers, during initial, induction and in-service phases of their careers. Such activities could be offered by institutes for higher education, by government departments (or ministries) of education, by schools as employers of teachers, by teachers themselves and by any other commercial or non-commercial initiative. Active dialogue involves different participants.
The ATEE wants to stimulate the dialogue between teacher educators, researchers on teacher education, students, teachers, employers, politicians, inspectorate, ngo’s on education and any other group involved in teacher education, research and innovation in (teacher) education.
International exchange is not restricted to Europe. Teacher educators in Europe can learn from each other but also from experiences, research and ideas from outside Europe. Similarly, European experience, knowledge and research can support teacher educators outside Europe in the general enhancement of the quality of teacher education throughout the world.
Research and practice can be used to raise knowledge and understanding of the most effective ways in which to educate teachers. Therefore, we try to find a fruitful combination of both research and practice, which can lead to a synthesis of both theoretical and practical knowledge.
Each year ATEE hosts three conferences throughout Europe hosted by institutional members of the Association; a winter conference, spring conference and an annual three day event. The details for the 2022 events are now available:
ATEE Winter Conference in Sestri Levante (Italy) 20-22 April
