The British Journal of Sociology of Education is one of the most renowned international scholarly journals in the field. The editorial board of the journal brings together the expertise of leading sociologists and rising academics. The aim of the journal is to publish high quality original, theoretically informed analyses of the relationship between education and society. The Journal has an outstanding record of addressing major global debates about the social significance and impact of educational policy, provision, processes and practice in many countries around the world. The journal welcomes contributions which explore all phases of formal and informal education. It engages with a diverse range of contemporary and emergent social theories along with the full range of methodological approaches. It investigates the discursive politics of education, social stratification and mobility, the social dimensions of all aspects of pedagogy, and educational experiences from those of the privileged to those of the most disadvantaged. The vitality of the journal is sustained by its commitment to offer independent, critical evaluations of the ways in which education interfaces with local, national, regional and global developments, contexts and agendas. There is an established well-informed international audience for the Journal. Authors are expected to consider this wide readership and to exhibit knowledge of previously-published articles when submitting their work for consideration. Submissions should be well located within sociological theory, and should not only be rigorous and reflexive methodologically, but also offer original insights to educational problems/perspectives. Peer Review Policy: All articles submitted to the Journal are anonymously refereed by at least two members of the editorial board. This ensures the world class quality of the journal and maintains the continuity of sociological debate.

The idea to publish a scientific journal of three Baltic countries (Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia) on the issues related to roads and bridges, which was born at the beginning of 2005, was implemented at last. In the first volume of the journal Lithuanian, Latvian and Estonian scientists investigate topical issues of road and bridge construction, repair, maintenance and traffic safety. The journal is the first one in the Baltic countries dealing with the issues mentioned above. We believe that in the future scientists from other foreign countries will become authors of research articles, and the topics of articles will range widely. The periodicity of the journal (4 volumes per year), requires an expeditious and responsible work of the authors, editors and all members of the Editorial Board. On behalf of the Editorial Board I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the Lithuanian and Estonian Road Administrations, the state company “Latvian State Roads“, Vilnius Gediminas Technical University, Riga Technical University and Tallinn University of Technology as well as the Baltic Road Association for supporting and financing the publication of the journal. I believe that this journal will disseminate the latest scientific findings, theoretical and experimental research on roads and bridges and will be extremely useful for young scientists. I hereby invite You to become active authors, readers and subscribers of the new journal.
