Aims and Scope:
Educational Research, the journal of the National Foundation for Educational Research (NFER), was established in 1958. Drawing upon research projects in Universities and research centres worldwide, it is the leading international forum for informed thinking on issues of contemporary concern in education.
The journal is of interest to academics, researchers and those people concerned with mediating research findings to policy makers and practitioners.
Educational Research has a broad scope and contains research studies, reviews of research, discussion pieces, short reports and book reviews in all areas of the education field.
The wide coverage allows discussion of topical issues and policies affecting education institutions worldwide. Subjects Educational Research has recently covered include:
- assessment
- education policy
- students' attitudes
- study support
- social deprivation
- special educational needs
- the role of the internet in teaching and learning
- religious education
- school culture
- teachers' image of themselves
- bullying

Instructions to Authors
Click here to check your article status
***Note to Authors: please make sure your contact address information is clearly visible on the outside of all packages you are sending to Editors.***
Authors are invited to submit papers comprising original educational research, reviews of recent research in particular areas, or discussion articles on research topics.
Articles should not normally exceed 5,000 words and should be accompanied by an abstract of up to 150 words and up to a maximum of six keywords, to assist indexing and subsequent online article retrieval.
As well as the intrinsic interest of the article, conciseness and clarity are important considerations. Technical jargon should be avoided, and, where possible, statistical data should be summarized in the text, although tables may be included if they are clearly presented. Authors are encouraged to describe their findings in terms intelligible to the non-expert reader.
Shorter articles (less than 4000 words) or articles with a restricted appeal to our readership may also be accepted for publication as short reports provided they meet appropriate quality standards.
Articles should be submitted electronically in the first instance, wherever possible. If this is not possible, articles should be typed in double spacing on one side of A4 (or equivalent sized) paper, with an accompanying floppy disk (Microsoft Word?is the preferred format). It is imperative that both print and electronic versions match exactly.
Illustrations should be of the same size, and of a suitable standard for direct reproduction.
References should be indicated in the typescript by giving the author's name, with the year of publication in parentheses. If several papers by the same author and from the same year are cited, a, b, c, etc. should be put after the year of publication. The references should be listed in full at the end of the paper in the following standard form:
For books: Scott, P. (1984) The crisis of the university (London, Croom Helm).
For articles: Cremin, L. A. (1983) The problematics of education in the 1980s: some reflections on the Oxford workshop, Oxford Review of Education,
9, 33-40.
For chapters within books: Willis, P. (1983) Cultural production and theories of reproduction, in: L. Barton & S. Walker (Eds) Race, Class and Education (London, Croom Helm).
Titles of journals should not be abbreviated.
All articles submitted to the journal are subject to review by the Editorial Board.
Papers are only accepted for review on the basis that they are not being submitted elsewhere for publication.
