ERA ID	Title	Notes
39989	American Journal of Evaluation	This has article from all the big names in Evaluation, many are position papers and seminal works. Very American heavy.
19964	*Assessment and Evaluation in Higher Education	ideally between 3000 and 5000 words. publishes papers and reports on all aspects of assessment and evaluation within higher education. Its purpose is to advance understanding of assessment and evaluation practices and processes, particularly the contribution that these make to student learning and to course, staff and institutional development.
19958	Educational Assessment, Evaluation and Accountability	an international journal that investigates and discusses the functions, theories, values and practices of assessment, evaluation and accountability as they impact schools, higher education and educational systems, and looks further to their effects on homes and communities. The topics covered range broadly, encompassing teacher and human resources evaluation; program evaluation; school self-evaluation; policy evaluation; accountability thinking, policy and programs; summative assessment and testing; formative assessment and assessment for learning and both self- and peer assessment. The editors view these not as disparate fields, but as facets of one larger issue – the nature of education in a changing social and policy context. no words or length quoted but from looking at range of articles average size is about 13 -17 pages
19927	Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis: a quarterly publication of the American Educational Research Association
20022	Educational Research and Evaluation: an international journal on theory and practice	notes imply that this journal incorporates the Evaluation and Research in Education? Has same aims as below. Its possible that that journal has been discontinued? Papers should normally be around 8,000 words in length, but longer or shorter articles will be considered.
10328	Educational Technology Research and Development
19967	*Evaluation and Research in Education last publication 2011	fully refereed international journal that publishes original academic articles aimed at promoting educational processes and outcomes, both well-informed and evidence-based. It is deliberately multi-disciplinary and broad in scope, and addresses rigorous research and evaluation at all levels, and in all sectors and ages of education.  The journal publishes papers which report results of: original research and evaluation studies; secondary analyses of existing (international) data sets; meta-analyses and reviews synthesizing evidence and guidelines for practice.
39946	Evaluation Journal of Australasia	Not really an educational focus - many public sector projects, heavy on the health services. Preference will be given to articles that embody original concepts, significantly new findings or methodological advances, or which present existing knowledge in a form particularly accessible or useful to students, practitioners and/or users of evaluation. As a general rule, simple records of evaluations undertaken will not be considered suitable as articles unless, in the opinion of the editors or peer reviewers, they are innovative in methodology or other aspects of practice, significantly advance knowledge of the relevant field, or represent outstanding models of good practice for others conducting evaluations in the same areas.
20348	Higher Education Research and Development
20056	Practical Assessment Research and Evaluation	journal requirements at http://pareonline.net/Policies.htm Two key questions in the review will be whether the results generalize and whether the results are likely to alter someone's practice. views evaluation as an assessment tool - no real examples of project evaluation
22288	Research Evaluation	Research Evaluation is an interdisciplinary peer-reviewed, international journal. Its subject matter ranges from the evaluation of an individual research project, through portfolios of research and research centres, up to inter-country comparisons of research performance. It covers public and private sectors, natural and life sciences as well as social sciences and humanities. The term 'evaluation' applies to all stages of research from priority setting and proposals, through the monitoring of on-going projects and programmes, to the use of results of research and the increasing trend of integrating evaluation into policy. Evaluations of research output and impact are particularly relevant given the emphasis today on accountability and documenting the value of research. Papers on methods for appraising and evaluating research are also welcome. The Journal is not committed to any specific approach or philosophy, quantitative, qualitative or otherwise.
20767	*Studies in Educational Evaluation	Studies in Educational Evaluation publishes original reports of evaluation studies. Four types of articles are published by the journal: (a) empirical evaluation studies representing evaluation practice in educational systems around the world; (b) theoretical reflections and empirical studies related to issues involved in the evaluation of educational programs, educational institutions, educational personnel and student assessment; (c) articles summarizing the state-of-the-art concerning specific topics in evaluation in general or in a particular country or group of countries; (d) book reviews and brief abstracts of evaluation studies. Appears to be long articles - over 9000 words
20774	*Studies in Learning Evaluation Innovation and Development looks promising but i think discontinued...	A scholarly, peer-reviewed, international journal that supports emerging scholars and the development of evidence-based practice and that publishes research and scholarship about teaching and learning in formal, semi-formal and informal educational settings and sites One binary that STUDIES IN LEARNING, EVALUATION, INNOVATION AND DEVELOPMENT is particularly concerned to challenge is the so-called ‘theory/practice divide’. The journal’s editors assume that, rather than research and practice being separate and even mutually exclusive, they are on the contrary interconnected and interdependent: effective research must be situated in ‘real world’ contexts and settings; and effective practice must be explicitly framed and informed by research. online open access - CQU length varies - about 12 pages but have seen upto 16 pages
20208	Quality Assurance in Education	a journal which is committed to a critical examination of quality and related issues in education. It devotes itself to the dissemination of best practice on the management of change and improvement in the higher education. It invites insights into the perceptions and opinions of quality in education of a number of stakeholders to gain a balanced view. Key audiences: Producers and consumers of education services; Libraries supplying the above; Strategic managers of education services; Local and central government; Employers, trade unions and community groups international articles on quality frameworks and students perceptions of Quality etc
20358	Quality in Higher Education	an international refereed journal aimed at those interested in the theory, practice and policies relating to the control, management and improvement of quality in higher education. The editor especially wishes to encourage papers on: reported research results, especially where these assess the impact of quality assurance systems, procedures and methodologies; theoretical analyses of quality and quality initiatives in higher education; comparative evaluation and international aspects of practice and policy with a view to identifying transportable methods, systems and good practice. Contributions should be 5000–6000 words, should include an abstract of 100–150 words.
	Journal of multidisciplinary Evaluation	http://www.jmde.com JMDE publishes a selection of the following types of material: news of and letters or memos about evaluation activities, meetings, discussions, developments, ideas, controversies, etc., from around the world, and from evaluation publications; scholarly articles about evaluation practice, methods, history, and theory of some general interest (we do not publish plain evaluation reports); scholarly comments on previous material in JMDE; reviews of important books or journal issues; expository materials in modular form, on topics or evaluations that readers have shown some interest in clarifying; evaluation puzzles or problems for competitive submissions; evaluation humor and cartoons.  Submissions can be of any length that the content justifies, from 1-50 pages. But we think longer than 10-12 pages is hard to justify, and brevity takes brains and style.
	Issues in Educational Research	focuses on issues related to educational research must be timely, significant, clear, logical and concise.  IIER is a generalist journal publishing research topics which are drawn from all sectors of education and may be based upon a wide range of contexts and research methodologies. It is important to project your article as relevant for an international readership, in contrast to an article that relates only to a local or limited regional context.
	International Journal of Educational Research	Length For individual papers, a length of between 5,000 - 8,000 words is acceptable. Proposals for special issues and individual papers can be on any contemporary educational topic of international interest. Reports of high quality educational research involving any discipline and methodology will be welcome. The journal's purpose is to enable researchers throughout the world to engage more easily with findings and issues which are relevant to their own interests.  The research reported does not have to be comparative (in the sense of comparing aspects of education in different countries or cultures); a paper may report research carried out in just one location or cultural setting. But to be eligible for publication, a paper must:  • deal with a topic which is of interest to a substantial international audience of educational researchers  • explain the research in a way which will be comprehensible to an international audience of researchers  • draw out explicitly in a discussion of the research those issues or themes which are likely to have international relevance.  As well as papers which report the findings of empirical research, papers which review research on specific educational topics of international interest will also be welcome.
A	Journal of Higher Education	The Journal of Higher Education publishes original research reporting on the academic study of higher education as a broad enterprise. We publish the highest quality empirical, theoretically grounded work addressing the main functions of higher education and the dynamic role of the university in society. We seek to publish scholarship from a wide variety of theoretical perspectives and disciplinary orientations. Articles appearing in the Journal employ an array of methodological approaches, and we welcome work from scholars across a range of career stages. Comparative and international scholarship should make clear connections to the U.S. context. Manuscripts not appropriate for submission to the Journal include purely theoretical papers, methodological treatises, unsolicited essays and reviews, and non-academic, institutional, and program evaluations or reports.
