Education Policy Analysis Archives

Education Policy Analysis Archives/Archivos Analíticos de Políticas Educativas/Arquivos Analíticos de Políticas Educativas (EPAA/AAPE; ISSN 1068-2341) is a peer-reviewed, open-access, international, multilingual, and multidisciplinary journal designed for researchers, practitioners, policy makers, and development analysts concerned with education policies. 

EPAA/AAPE accepts unpublished original manuscripts in English, Spanish and Portuguese without restriction as to conceptual and methodological perspectives, time or place. 

Accordingly, EPAA/AAPE does not have a pre-determined number of submissions to be rejected and/or published. Rather, the editorial team believes that the quality of the journal should be assessed based on the articles that we publish and not the percentage of articles that we reject. For EPAA/AAPE, “inclusiveness” is a key criteria of manuscript quality. 

EPAA/AAPE publishes articles and special issues at roughly weekly intervals, all of which pertain to educational policy. Priority is given to (1) empirical works (e.g., analytical pieces in which authors collect and analyze data in systemic ways, made clear and explicit); that are (2) significant and substantively contribute to our current thought and knowledge about the area(s) of research examined (e.g., the work provides adequate evidence that expands, corrects, or strengthens current conceptual and/or methodological discussions within the field; the work presents original data; or the work re-uses existing data while applying novel methodologies); and that (3) directly pertain to educational policy, are situated within relevant educational policy literature, have explicit implications for educational policy and, if applicable, are in direct critical dialogue with previously published EPAA/AAPE articles.
