London Review of Education

Aims & Scope

The London Review of Education (LRE) is a fully open-access, peer-reviewed journal that provides a diversity of perspectives on all types, sectors and phases of education.

It is free to read and free to write for; there are no article processing charges.

We welcome and publish contributions from across the world, with an editorial perspective inspired by London’s status as a global city.

Founded in 2003 by the UCL Institute of Education (IOE), but independent from it, LRE maintains the Institute’s principled concern for social justice.

We encourage interdisciplinary collaborations and international co-authorship.

LRE is a wide-ranging journal that features rigorous analysis and significant research using a variety of methodologies across key themes in education.

For example, we cover but are not limited to: assessment; curriculum; educational improvement; equalities and human rights; institutional effectiveness; language, literacy and numeracy; lifelong learning; organization; pedagogy; public goals and policies; resources and technology; teacher education; widening participation.

We particularly welcome articles that cross disciplines and interrogate links between research, policy and practice.

We ensure the highest quality of reporting and presentation through an independent, anonymised peer-review process.

Once accepted, articles appear in the next available issue, eliminating delays in publication.

As an entirely web-based open-access journal, LRE provides opportunities for including illustrative video clips, colour photos and illustrations.
