About the journal
Research in Higher Education is directed to those concerned with the functioning of the post-secondary education, including two-year and four-year colleges, universities, and graduate and professional schools. It is of primary interest to institutional researchers and planners, faculty, college and university administrators, student personnel specialists and behavioral scientists. Generally, empirical studies are sought which contribute to an increased understanding of an institution or allow comparison between institutions, which aid faculty and administrators in making more informed decisions about current or future operations, and which improve the efficiency or effectiveness of the institution. Of particular interest are topics such as: administration and faculty; curriculum and instruction; student characteristics; alumni assessment; recruitment and admissions; prediction and student academic performance; campus climate; retention, attrition and transfer. Brief notes of a methodological nature will also be considered for publication.

Submission is a representation that the manuscript has not been published previously and is not currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. A statement transferring copyright from the authors (or their employers, if they hold the copyright) to Springer will be required before the manuscript can be accepted for publication. The Editor will supply the necessary forms for this transfer. Such a written transfer of copyright, which previously was assumed to be implicit in the act of submitting a manuscript, is necessary under the U.S. Copyright Law in order for the publisher to carry through the dissemination of research results and reviews as widely and effectively as possible.
Type double−spaced on one side of 8 1/2 x 11 inch white paper using generous margins on all sides, and submit the original and two copies (including copies of all illustrations and tables). All copies must be dark, sharp, and clear. Computer−generated manuscripts must be of letter quality (not dot−matrix).
A title page is to be provided and should include the title of the article, authors name, authors affiliation, and suggested running head. Authors should not place their names on subsequent pages. The affiliation should comprise the department, institution (usually university or company), city, and state (or nation) and should be typed as a footnote to the authors name. For office purposes, the title page should include the complete mailing address, telephone number, fax number, and e−mail address of the one author designated to review proofs.
An abstract is to be provided, preferably no longer than 150 words.
A list of 5-10 key words is to be provided directly below the abstract. Key words should express the precise content of the manuscript, as they are used for indexing purposes.
Illustrations (photographs, drawings, diagrams, and charts) are to be numbered in one consecutive series of Arabic numerals. The captions for illustrations should be typed on a separate sheet of paper. All illustrations must be complete and final, i.e., camera−ready. Photographs should be large, glossy prints, showing high contrast. Drawings should be high−quality laser prints or should be prepared with india ink. Either the original drawings or high−quality photographic prints are acceptable. Artwork for each figure should be provided on a separate sheet of paper. Identify figures on the back with authors name and number of the illustration. Electronic artwork submitted on disk should be in TIFF or EPS format (1200 dpi for line and 300 dpi for half−tones and gray−scale art). Color art should be in the CMYK color space. Artwork should be on a separate disk from the text, and hard copy must accompany the disk.
Tables should be numbered (with Arabic numerals) and referred to by number in the text. Each table should be typed on a separate sheet of paper.
List references alphabetically at the end of the paper and refer to them in the text by name and year in parentheses. The style and punctuation of the references should conform to the following examples:

For reports, theses, etc., style title like that of an article, with as much source information as possible.
Footnotes should be avoided. When their use is absolutely necessary, footnotes should be numbered consecutively using Arabic numerals and should be typed at the bottom of the page to which they refer. Place a line above the footnote, so that it is set off from the text. Use the appropriate superscript numeral for citation in the text.
In general, the journal follows the recommendations of the latest edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, and it is suggested that contributors refer to this publication.
After a manuscript has been accepted for publication and after all revisions have been incorporated, manuscripts should be submitted to the Editors Office as hard copy accompanied by electronic files on disk. Label the disk with identifying information software, journal name, and first authors last name. The disk must be the one from which the accompanying manuscript (finalized version) was printed out. The Editors Office cannot accept a disk without its accompanying, matching hard−copy manuscript.
The journal makes no page charges. Reprints are available to authors, and order forms with the current price schedule are sent with proofs.
