Journal Guide

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 aim of the Journal of School Choice (JSC) is to energize multi-disciplinary scientific analysis and policy discussion with key insights into the nature of every major version of school choice: 1.) public school choice through residence relocation; 2.) district public school choice without relocation; 3.) chartered, non-district public schools; 4.) targeted tuition vouchers; 5.) non-refundable, personal use tuition tax credits; 6.) non-refundable, low income voucher donation tax credit; 7.) refundable tuition tax credits; 8.) 8216;pure' universal tuition vouchers; 9.) option-demand universal tuition vouchers; 10.) formal separation of school and state; 11.) informal, compromised school-state separation; and 12.) de-regulation; allow greater differences in schools. JSC will provide those insights in one of six forms: 1.) News and Views (600 to 1500 words); 2.) Commentary (5000* words); 3.) Surveys (8000* words); 4.) Methodological (8000 words); 5.) Analysis (8000* words); 6.) Book Reviews (1200 words). * recommended limit, but flexible at the editor's discretion.Organizations start new Journals to help meet an under-served scholarly arena; to provide an outlet for academic research that deserves additional attention. Certainly, school choice is seeing growing attention as a key ingredient of reform strategies, and also as an arena in which to compare political accountability to market accountability. Annotated List of School Choice Research Issues Editor Vision StatementJohn Merrifield, Editor, Professor of EconomicsJanuary, 2009I envision the Journal of School Choice as the clearinghouse of scholarly discussion and analysis of the school choice aspects of public policies. The Journal of School Choice will be interdisciplinary and international. Along with empirical analysis of school choice aspects of public policies, the Journal of School Choice will publish peer-reviewed scholarly objective commentary, advocacy, and policy critique. For this journal, that is especially important to my 'Moving Forward' motto. For many of the twelve types of school choice policies, including many that seem likely to have the largest impacts, there is no direct evidence to analyze. Where direct evidence is scarce, scholarly commentary utilizing accepted theory, core principles, and indirect evidence, is the only way to develop insights and increase understanding of likely policy outcomes. The peer reviewed objective commentary, advocacy, and critique pieces I envision are not opinion pieces per se. I view them as heavily referenced exercises in transparent deduction. Of course, scholars will differ in where theory, core principles, alleged evidence, and values lead. The Journal of School Choice will improve understanding of those differences. Scholars have opinions, and learning the basis of them is very insightful.Part of my vision is an active, diverse editorial board. They are part of the review process. So far, authors have received comments from two reviewers, me, plus from 3-7 members of the editorial board within three months of their submission.Publication office: Taylor & Francis, Inc., 325 Chestnut Street, Suite 800, Philadelphia, PA 19106.
