À propos

L'Alberta Journal of Educational Research (AJER), basé à la Faculté d'éducation de l'Université d'Alberta, s'est consacré depuis 1955 à la diffusion, à l'interprétation, à la critique et au soutien de toutes les formes de recherche scientifique dans le domaine de l'éducation au sens large, et des disciplines associées à l'éducation, tant au niveau local qu’international. En raison de changements concernant le financement et qui fermeront effectivement les voies de soutien financier pour la publication trimestrielle, l'AJER suspendra sa publication après son numéro d'été 2024.

En tant que plus ancienne revue indépendante du Canada dans le domaine de l'éducation, sa suspension laisse un vide important parmi les publications de recherche sur l'éducation. Toutefois, les travaux publiés dans l'AJER resteront disponibles dans ses archives en ligne afin d'informer et d'inspirer la recherche future pendant que nous cherchons une voie durable pour l'avenir et qu'un plan de numérisation de tous les numéros est en cours.

About the Journal

Journal History

For almost 60 years, the Alberta Journal of Educational Research (AJER) has been published by the Faculty of Education, University of Alberta, as a peer-reviewed journal for the dissemination of educational research findings, and as a forum for the discussion of issues in education. When publication began in 1955, the focus of the journal was primarily the Province of Alberta. Then, as now, a purpose of AJER was to apprise Alberta school teachers and administrators of current educational research and trends in educational policy. AJER is the oldest active Canadian scholarly educational journal.

Peer Review Process

The Editor conducts an initial review for appropriateness, length, rigour, and structure. Suitable manuscripts are then subject to a double-blind review process. The review process involves no less than two reviewers, but usually entails three and sometimes four reviewers.

Abstracts are sent to members of our Review Board, who either indicate a willingness to review specific submissions, or they suggest names of scholars they believe would be appropriate reviewers. Names of graduate students well along in their programs are acceptable. Selection of the reviewers is made by the Editor based on the information received.

Upon receipt of the reviews, the Editor makes a decision based on the reviewers’ recommendations and comments. Authors are then informed of the decision. In the case of an initiation to "revise and resubmit", one or two of the original reviewers is solicited to undertake a subsequent review.

Archiving

This journal utilizes the LOCKSS system to create a distributed archiving system among participating libraries and permits those libraries to create permanent archives of the journal for purposes of preservation and restoration. More...
