The Journal of Studies in International Education (JSIE) aims to support and inform the work higher education leaders, administrators, educators, emerging and established researchers and policy makers interested in all facets of the internationalization of higher education through the publication of original research that advances knowledge, theory and practice in the field. JSIE publishes articles exploring concepts, strategies, approaches and issues of relevance to the internationalization of higher education which make a significant and original contribution to theory and practice.

We publish articles that:

· Make an original and valuable contribution to the scholarly global conversation on issues related to the internationalization of higher education,

· Are evidence-based and grounded in theory and in practice,

· Have a comparative dimension

· Include appropriate and substantial reference to international literature in the field.

Articles discussing national and regional aspects, issues and dimensions of the internationalization of higher education within a global context are our top priority.

Small case studies of institutional policy and descriptions of single programmes or activities, are a low priority. They will not be published unless they locate the case study within a broader context, include appropriate reference to international literature in the area of study and make a substantial and innovative contribution to the field.

We do not generally publish:

· Opinion pieces or essays – although occasionally, where the editors judge the issue to be of particular significance, and the article is of a high enough quality, they will be considered.

· Book reviews – although we do mention new and significant publications we are aware of in editorials.
