Publication Opportunity for Graduate Students


Higher Education in Review (HER) is pleased to announce its call for papers. HER is an independent, refereed journal published by graduate students of the Higher Education Program at the Pennsylvania State University. Our mission is to make a substantive contribution to the higher education literature through the publication of high-quality research studies, scholarly papers, and literature reviews in areas related to the university, the four-year college, the community college, and other institutions of higher learning. In so doing, we provide graduate students first-hand experience with the publishing process.

Our print journal is distributed to leading higher education graduate programs nation-wide and is electronically available, free of charge, on our web site. We also publish additional original content online at www.higheredinreview.org. First authors must be currently-enrolled graduate students or have written their manuscript during graduate school. Graduate students from a variety of disciplines and fields (e.g., education, sociology, economics, law, and psychology) are encouraged to submit their work for consideration. Submissions are accepted year-round. Please contact us at HigherEducationInReview@psu.edu with any questions you may have regarding Higher Education in Review. We look forward to receiving your submission!

Manuscripts should include a clearly specified research question, present a theoretical or conceptual framework, employ appropriate research methods, and contribute knowledge to the body of higher education literature. Pieces submitted for publication in print and online are subject to the same editorial review process and the same high standards for scholarship. We simply consider different types of submission for each medium and generally will not entertain the same piece for both print and online publication.
