About the Journal

Focus and Scope
Student International Journal of Education (SIJE; ISSN 0000-0000) is a peer-reviewed, open-access, and international journal designed for student researchers concerned with education policies.

SIJE accepts unpublished original manuscripts in English without restriction as to conceptual and methodological perspectives, time or place.

Accordingly, SIJE does not have a pre-determined number of submissions to be rejected and/or published. Rather, the editorial team believes that the quality of the journal should be assessed based on the articles that we publish and not the percentage of articles that we reject. For SIJE, “inclusiveness” is a key criteria of manuscript quality.

SIJE publishes articles and special issues at roughly weekly intervals, all of which pertain to educational policy. Priority is given to (1) empirical works (e.g., analytical pieces in which authors collect and analyze data in systemic ways, made clear and explicit); that are (2) significant and substantively contribute to our current thought and knowledge about the area(s) of research examined (e.g., the work provides adequate evidence that expands, corrects, or strengthens current conceptual and/or methodological discussions within the field; the work presents original data; or the work re-uses existing data while applying novel methodologies); and that (3) directly pertain to educational policy, are situated within relevant educational policy literature, have explicit implications for educational policy and, if applicable, are in direct critical dialogue with previously published SIJE articles.

The Editorial Board may also consider other forms of educational-relevant articles such as:

Methodological or Theoretical Articles
Commentaries
Systematic Literature Reviews
