The following lists of journals are key journals in the field of education:
Review of Educational Research
About:
The Review of Educational Research (RER, quarterly, begun in 1931; approximately 640 pp. /volume year) publishes critical, integrative reviews of research literature bearing on education. Reviews should include conceptualizations, interpretations, and syntheses of literature and scholarly work in a field broadly relevant to education and educational research. RER encourages the submission of research relevant to education from any discipline, such as reviews of research in psychology, sociology, history, philosophy, political science, economics, computer science, statistics, anthropology, and biology, provided that the review bears on educational issues. RER does not publish original empirical research unless it is incorporated in a broader integrative review. RER will occasionally publish solicited, but carefully refereed, analytic reviews of special topics, particularly from disciplines infrequently represented.
