About the journal
|
Comparative Education Review investigates education throughout the world and the social, economic, and political forces that shape it. Founded in 1957 to advance knowledge and teaching in comparative education studies, the Review has since established itself as the most reliable source for the analysis of the place of education in countries other than the United States.
Frequency: quarterly. Volume 49 begins February 2005. ISSN: 0010-4086. 144 pages/issue. |
Instructions to Authors
For nearly fifty years, the Comparative Education Review has been the first source for theory, research, method, analysis, and criticism in comparative and international education. We seek submissions based on high-quality, original research, including theoretical as well as policy-oriented manuscripts. As conditions in the world and our own field continue to develop and change, we are particularly eager to encourage the submission of manuscripts on a range of topics with the following characteristics:
- Studies that critically examine (i.e., not just describe) educational content, ideas, organizations, policies, or practices.
- Studies that situate educational phenomena within their local, national, regional, or global context.
- Studies that focus on the relations between educational phenomena and cultural, economic, or political dynamics.
- Studies that consider educational and social phenomena historically and in the present.
- Studies that are explicitly anchored in conceptual frameworks, representing one or more established, emerging, or grounded paradigms.
- Studies that are based upon qualitative data, quantitative data, policy documents or other texts from existing scholarship.
- Studies that explore major issues in the comparative and international education.
Manuscripts which the co-editors consider to be relevant and sufficiently developed are refereed using a double-blind review process, which can take up to three months. Manuscripts considered by the CER should not simultaneously be under consideration by any other publication
Manuscripts submitted to the CER are judged on the following criteria:
A. Use of an explicit theoretical or conceptual framework
B. Acknowledgment of the relevant literature
C. Originality in analysis or method
D. Appropriateness of methodological approach
E. Contribution to the advancement of knowledge
F. Relevance to comparative or international education
G. Clarity of expression
Submission Procedure
Contributors should submit their manuscripts via e-mail to CER@PITT.EDU, sending one or more electronic files with the text and, if necessary, supplementary tables and charts. In addition, contributors should also mail two paper copies of their submission to: Comparative Education Review, IISE, School of Education, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA 15260. Every effort will be made to reach a preliminary editorial decision within three months.
Manuscript (ms.) format
A. Cover Page: Include the author's name and affiliation, address, phone number, fax number, e-mail, and social security number (if author is a U.S. citizen).
B. Second page: This is an abstract--a summary of no more than 150 words.
C. Third Page (page 1 of ms.): The title should appear at least 3 inches from the top of the paper. Leave a 2-inch space before starting the text, and leave a 2-inch space from the bottom of page. Author's name must not appear on this page.
D. Entire ms., to include text, tables, endnotes, quotations, and figure legends, must be double-spaced on sturdy paper. Allow right and left-hand margins of at least 1-?inches each. Information that reveals identity of author should not appear in ms.
E. Type in upper and lower case letters. Do not use all capital, italicized, or bold letters.
F. The Review follows the (University of) Chicago Manual of Style. Only endnotes are allowed; do not include a bibliography or reference list.
G. Manuscripts should be no longer than 40 double-spaced pages, including endnotes.
Endnote Enumeration and Citation
Endnotes should be numbered in order. Do not place endnotes at bottom of text pages. Endnote pages follow the text and must correspond with the numbers in the text. Endnote numbers should be shown as superscripts (i.e., slightly above the line) and usually follow punctation when cited in text. Example: "... in a study by K. Williams."?/P>
Endnote Composition
A. For journal articles: Author's name; article title in quotation marks; journal title (underlined) in full; volume number; month and year of issue; inclusive page numbers. Example:
¹Henry James, "Approaches to Education in the United States," Anthropology and Education Quarterly 6 (October 1975): 6-15.
B. For a book title: Author's name; book title (underlined); city of publication; publisher; year of publication; page number (if appropriate). Examples:
¹Robert O. Tilman, Bureaucratic Transition in Malaysia (Durham, N.C.: Duke University Press, 1964), p. 232.

¹A. B. Smith, "A Theory of Education," in Education in History, ed. C. E. Jones, 2d ed. (Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 1942).
D. If an author has only one work cited in the endnotes, subsequent references to that work should give only the author's last name and, if applicable, page numbers, etc. Example:
¹Smith, p. 184.
E. For more than one work cited for same author, give both the author's last name and the title of the work or a shortened title. Example:
¹White, Education Today, p. 16.
Tables and Figures
A. These should follow endnotes. Each should be on a separate piece of paper, titled, numbered, and referred to in order in the text. Tables should be double-spaced and may be more than one page long. They should not include any lines.
B. Sources of information and table notes should be identified under table and double-spaced.
C. Figures should be designed to fit a maximum page size of 5 X 8 inches. Figures, charts, and graphs should be suitable for reproduction (camera-ready). They should be identified by number and in pencil on the back of each page. Figure legends should be submitted on a separate page, and they should be double-spaced.
Miscellaneous
A. The "%" sign should not be used in the text but should be written as "percent." Any unusual symbols should be identified in the margin in lead pencil. Acronyms or abbreviations should be written out the first time they occur in the text--e.g., International Development Bank (IDB). The first name or initial of referenced authors should be included the first time these authors are mentioned in the text.
B. Authors will have the opportunity to see edited manuscripts but not galley or page proofs. Contributors may purchase offprints at a nominal cost. Five copies of the issue in which an author's article appears are provided without cost.
