About this journal
Aims and scope
Deafness & Education International is an international peer-reviewed journal that publishes high-quality original research about the education of children and young people who are deaf or hard of hearing. The Editors welcome manuscripts that are rigorous, adhere to ethical guidance, show thoroughness in the way the conclusions have been reached, and add important findings to the sector. The field of deaf education covers many disciplines including education, sociology, psychology, anthropology, linguistics, cultural studies and speech science. The Editors encourage authors to consider the implications of research findings to practice because the journal is read by educators and other professionals working directly with children and young people who are deaf or hard of hearing. Authors are also encouraged to apply findings to the international context. Manuscripts must be written in clear and accurate English and strictly adhere to the APA7 style guidelines.
Deafness & Education International follows an anonymous peer review process so that the reviewers do not know the author's name, and the author does not know the reviewer's name. The anonymous review process is essential for maintaining the integrity of the journal. Each manuscript will be reviewed promptly to determine if it is relevant to the scope of D&EI. If the manuscript meets the criteria, it will enter the peer-review process. Please see

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.
