Australian Journal of Education

Aims & Scope

The Australian Journal of Education (AJE), established in 1957, is an international peer-reviewed journal publishing research conducted in Australia and internationally to inform educational researchers, as well as educators, administrators and policy-makers, about issues of contemporary concern in education.

General Notes: While the AJE publishes studies that use data from outside Australia, submissions are expected to make some link to the topic of the topic to the Australian context to illustrate the relevance to the AJE readership.

The link is likely to be made in the literature review and the discussion of results.

The language of manuscripts should reflect the standard of a scholarly article in an English-language journal.

In general, manuscripts should follow the structure of an abstract, introduction, background, methodology, results, discussion and a conclusion.
