Calls for Papers
The Journal of Educational Research & Policy Studies (formerly the Arkansas Educational Research & Policy Studies Journal), now a national, refereed scholarly publication, seeks quality manuscripts for consideration and possible inclusion in forthcoming issues. The Journal is published twice yearly at the University of Arkansas -Fayetteville.
The Journal’s purpose is to furnish a national, interdisciplinary forum for the consideration of major education research initiatives and policy analyses. Topics of interest – from pre-K to collegiate levels – encompass teaching and learning, child development, charter schools, federal and state education policies, accountability measures, home schooling, student achievement assessment, and innovative school reforms. With its expansion from a state to a national medium, the Journal aspires to serve as a juried source for the latest empirical research on current issues in education, as well as significant policy developments and trends in American schooling. Of special interest are articles that are critical and interpretive in character, rather than simply descriptive. Both quantitative and qualitative research paradigms are honored.
