Journal of School Choice

Aims & Scope

The aim of the Journal of School Choice: International Research and Reform is to publish the best scholarship on school choice and school reform from diverse disciplines and methodologies, in a timely fashion.

We will do this in part by employing rigorous and intellectually diverse reviewers, and by assuring prospective authors feedback in two months or less.

We will further publicize our research through our web site, conventional news media, our annual conference, and through our relationships with other organizations.

School systems across the globe face reform.

We aim to assure that scientific research informs the ongoing reform journey.
