Aims and scope
2017 CiteScore 1.38 - values from Scopus
Recent decades have witnessed significant developments in the field of educational assessment. New approaches to the assessment of student achievement have been complemented by the increasing prominence of educational assessment as a policy issue. In particular, there has been a growth of interest in modes of assessment that promote, as well as measure, standards and quality. These have profound implications for individual learners, institutions and the educational system itself.
Assessment in Education provides a focus for scholarly output in the field of assessment. The journal is explicitly international in focus and encourages contributions from a wide range of assessment systems and cultures. The journal's intention is to explore both commonalities and differences in policy and practice.
Peer Review Policy:
All research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least two anonymous referees.
Instructions to Authors
This journal uses ScholarOne Manuscripts (previously Manuscript Central) to peer review manuscript submissions. Please read the guide for ScholarOne authors before making a submission. Complete guidelines for preparing and submitting your manuscript to this journal are provided below. Contents
About the Journal
Assessment in Education: Principles, Policy & Practice is an international, peer-reviewed journal publishing high-quality, original research. Please see the journal's Aims & Scopefor information about its focus and peer-review policy.
Please note that this journal only publishes manuscripts in English.
Assessment in Education: Principles, Policy & Practice accepts the following types of article:
- Original articles
- Original articles for the Profiles of Educational Systems Worldwide section
- Book reviews
Manuscripts with word counts above 7000 words may be rejected by the editors before the peer review stage.
Technical appendices
Assessment in Education encourages the submission of high quality empirical research. We would like authors to include enough detail to allow their research to be properly evaluated by reviewers, and where relevant and feasible, to be replicated by other researchers. This includes information that would allow any analysis of quantitative data to be replicated. It may not always be appropriate to go into great mathematical detail in the body of the text, but sufficient detail should be given in a technical appendix. This should be kept as brief as possible. If a statistical model has been used then the equation for the model should be given, along with a description of what each symbol in the model means. The estimation method and software used should be named, and the syntax (computer code) that produced the results presented in the paper should be given where possible. Ideally a table presenting a fragment of the data that was analysed would be provided so that readers can see what the data looked like after any pre-processing necessary to get it ready for analysis. Authors are also encouraged to discuss how they dealt with missing data.
Peer Review
Taylor & Francis is committed to peer-review integrity and upholding the highest standards of review. Once your paper has been assessed for suitability by the editor, it will then be double blind peer reviewed by independent, anonymous expert referees. Find out more about what to expect during peer review and read our guidance on publishing ethics.

The journal uses double-blind peer review. Authors should prepare and upload two versions of the main text to ScholarOne. The first document, to be sent for peer review, should be an anonymous or blinded manuscript, with all author details removed. The second document, for the editors' use, should be unblinded and include full references, as if it would appear for publication.
To prepare the blinded version of the manuscript for peer review, please make it anonymous by replacing any information which could identify you as authors with [Authors]. For example, and in-text citation from 2012 would be replaced with 'Authors, 2012'. The entry in the references list would be as follows: 'Authors, 2012. Details omitted for peer review.' Please that the references list is then re-alphabeticalised. Grant or project names should also be anonymised. See our advice on anonymising your paper for peer review.
Supplemental files, including appendices
Supplemental files should not be included in the main text document. Appendices should be uploaded as a separate document, with clear titles/captions as appropriate. Authors are encouraged to submit animations, movie files, sound files or any additional information for online publication. Information about supplemental online material.
Please do not include tables in the main text document. Tables must be uploaded as a separate document. There is no need to create a separate document for each table, but each table should be placed on a separate page. The main text should indicate the position of tables. Please use a sentence such as '[Insert Table 1 around here]', placed on a separate line.
