Brock Education:
A Journal of Educational Research and Practice

http://brocked.ed.brocku.ca/

Brock Education: A Journal of Educational Research and Practice is on-line as an Open Access peer-reviewed journal available on the Internet.  

Brock Education welcomes papers from authors with an interest in the research and practice of teaching and learning at all levels: elementary and secondary schools: teacher education and teacher development; higher education and adult education; and education in the community or workplace.

The main purpose of the journal is to foster inquiry (in schools, post-secondary institutions and beyond) and promote a deeper understanding of the experiences of educators and learners. The journal is very receptive to practitioner inquiry—e.g., action research, self-study, reflective practice and narrative inquiry—but also accepts a wide-range of research articles that might be of interest to educational researchers and practitioners.

Brock Education is a double-blind peer reviewed journal with an acceptance rate of under 40%. The journal has a short backlog of articles, so most articles are published within a year of submission. Copyright remains with the author (see website for details).

Potential authors are encouraged to review Issues 18(2) to 21(1)—Sping 2009 to Fall 2011—to get a sense of the range and quality of articles during the tenure of the current editor.

This open-access journal is a forum for educators and scholars to disseminate their work and make a substantial contribution to the field in Canada and around the world.

Manuscripts should be:

•   No more than 6000 words in length, not including references.
    Conform to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5th Edition).
    Footnotes are not to be used.
    Tables, figures and pictures are welcome—indeed BEJ now encourages authors to submit articles with visuals, as the cost of producing them is low in an on-line journal.

Most articles are published within a year of the initial submission.
