JORIE publishes 3 types of articles, field notes & book reviews

  • Research Articles: Research articles report on empirical research conducted by the author(s), whether quantitative or qualitative in focus. These articles report on the results of exploring clearly stated research question(s), describe a specific research methods, and report results and implications for international education.
  • Conceptual Articles: Conceptual articles focus on the development or explanation of an idea or theory and explicitly relate the idea or theory to international education. Such articles do not produce empirical results, although empirical results from prior research may be used to support the concepts and theories described in the article.
  • Applied Research Articles: Practice articles share examples of practice situations in international education with lessons, grounded in the literature, for readers. These articles may be written as case studies, as first person narratives, or in other imaginative ways to help readers understand the lessons from practice. These articles may be shorter in length, but should be at least 2,500 words

  • Implications for research, practice and/or society: Does the paper clearly identify implications for research, practice and/or society? Does the paper bridge the gap between theory and practice?

Conceptual Papers

  • Clarity of concepts presented: Is the concept or idea explained thoroughly? Are there enough  concrete examples to illustrate the concept?
  • Usefulness: Is this concept more than just an interesting idea? Does it have practical use in international education? Does the author draw out the usefulness?

Applied Research Articles (First person narrative is welcome for this type of paper)
