Review of Education
Review of Education is an international peer reviewed journal for the publication of major and substantial articles of interest to researchers in education. It is a growing focal point for the publication of educational research from throughout the world.
The journal is interdisciplinary in approach, and publishes major studies and in-depth reviews that are significant, substantial, wide-ranging and insightful, and have a genuinely international reach and orientation. The journal specialises in publishing substantial papers (8,000–20,000 words) of the highest quality from across the field of education. In particular, the journal publishes:
- Reports of major studies, including detailed discussion of interim and final findings of major research projects. A substantial part of each article should put the study into the context of its field. The design and methodology should also be explained and any limitations discussed.
- Substantial research syntheses, integrating critically results from qualitative, quantitative, or mixed-method empirical studies. Such syntheses may include systematic reviews of studies relevant to particular research questions, thematic narrative reviews, and quantitative meta-analyses.
- Original state-of-the-art reviews that assess the state of knowledge in a field of education research. Thematic, historical, conceptual or theoretical reviews of cutting-edge fields of research and reviews that connect creatively different fields of research are especially welcome.
In 2022 Review of Education received its first Impact Factor, standing at 2.4, and this increased to 2.7 in 2023. The journal now ranks 109/756 in the Education and Educational Research category, placing it in the top quartile. Its Journal Citation Indicator is 0.5 and its Citescore is 3.3.

The Review of Education Editors’ Choice Award recognises the highest quality and most impactful articles published in the journal. The winning paper for the 2024 volume is:
- Santos, I. M., Amatullah, T., Agbenyega, J., & de Souza, D. N. (2024). The influence of student voice on teacher professional learning: A systematic literature review. Review of Education, 12(3), e70014. https://doi.org/10.1002/rev3.70014
The editors commented: ‘This article is a methodologically sound and highly readable systematic literature review. Its focus on how students can contribute to teachers’ learning, rather than vice versa, highlights an important and often underexplored perspective in education research. The evidence-informed framework on teacher professional learning has wide potential applications in research and practice.’
