Research Papers in Education (RPE)

Research Papers in Education has developed an international reputation for publishing significant research findings across the discipline of education. The distinguishing feature of the journal is that we publish longer articles than most other journals, to an inclusive limit of 12,000 words. We particularly focus on full accounts of substantial research endeavours that have important implications for policy and/or practice. Our word limit gives researchers the opportunity to describe major studies, undertake critical and complex analyses of data, interrogate longstanding assumptions and/or engage deeply with theory. As a result, we expect articles to create substantial new knowledge that has widespread utility for academics, students, policymakers or educational practitioners. The quality of submissions and their contribution to knowledge should be commensurate with their length and we will consider this through the review process. To make the best use of this expanded word count for the presentation of major studies, submissions should be rigorously edited for clarity and concision. We have a general readership and authors are encouraged to make their writing accessible for those outside their immediate field or methodological space. Our readership is international, so we require that authors provide adequate explanation of the relevant context(s). We welcome work that is interdisciplinary or transdisciplinary, while studies that engage across national borders are particularly valued. Quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods studies are equally regarded on their own terms.
