Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education
Editor: Dr Sue Martin
Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education (AEHE) is an established international refereed journal that publishes papers and reports on all aspects of assessment and evaluation within the various disciplines representative of higher education.
The purpose of the journal is to help advance understanding of assessment and evaluation practices and processes, particularly in the contribution they make to student learning, and to course, staff and institutional development. AEHE welcomes pragmatic, research-based or reflective studies which help to illuminate the everyday practice of assessment and evaluation in higher education.
The journal is aimed at all higher education practitioners, irrespective of discipline, and sets out to provide readily accessible, up-to-date information about significant developments within the field, with a view to the sharing and extension of evaluated, innovative practice.

Journal of Education and Work
Editor: Professor Hugh Lauder
The Journal of Education and Work is an international
forum for academic research and policy analysis that focuses on the interplay of the education and economic systems.
The Journal of Education and Work examines development of knowedge, skills, attitudes and values in work and employment from pre-school to university in the education system. The journal explores various forms of industrial training and accreditation in the economic system, including change in the economic and industrial infrastructure which affect the types of employees required. Work in the informal economy is also included.
The journal has a particular interest in comparative skill formation and especially the transition from education to employment, how this process is structured and managed, and its effects on the young people, schools, colleges, universities and employers.
Published papers are often interdisciplinary in nature reflecting the multifaceted nature of the journal's concerns. Articles are welcome from economists, psychologists, sociologists, educationalists, and policy analysts. The journal will publish case studies from practitioners if they present innovation grounded in relevant literature and debate.

Environmental Education Research
Editor: Dr Alan Reid
Environmental Education Research is an international refereed journal that publishes papers and reports on all aspects of environmental education. The purpose of the journal is to help advance understanding of environmental and sustainability education through a focus on papers reporting research and development activities. The journal also carries more diverse papers including, for example, conference reviews, retrospective analyses of activities in a particular field, critical commentaries on policy issues and comparative aspects of an environmental education issue. The criteria for acceptance of papers are that they are analytical and critical; that the ideas being discussed are transferable to other educational systems and cultures; and that they are accessible to an international audience.
In addition, there is a review section reinforcing the international nature of the journal by focusing on books, reports and publications in other media which deal with international environmental issues.
