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.

British Politics offers the only forum explicitly designed to promote research in British political studies, and seeks to provide a counterweight to the growing fragmentation of this field during recent years. To this end, the journal aims to promote a more holistic understanding of British politics by encouraging a closer integration between theoretical and empirical research, between historical and contemporary analyses, and by fostering a conception of British politics as a broad and multi-disciplinary field of study. This incorporates a range of sub-fields, including psephology, policy analysis, regional studies, comparative politics, institutional analysis, political theory, political economy, historical analysis, cultural studies and social policy.While recognising the validity and the importance of research into specific aspects of British politics, the journal takes it to be a guiding principle that such research is more useful, and indeed meaningful, if it is related to the field of British politics in a broader and fuller sense.The scope of the journal will therefore be broad, incorporating a range of research papers and review articles from all theoretical perspectives, and on all aspects of British politics, including policy developments, institutional change and political behaviour. Priority will, however, be given to contributions which link contemporary developments in British politics to theoretical and/or historical analyses. The aim is as much to encourage the development of empirical research that is theoretically rigorous and informed, as it is to encourage the empirical application of theoretical work (or at least to encourage theorists to explicitly signify how their work could be applied in an empirical manner).
