New Horizons in Education provides a forum for introducing and examining educational practices and ideas. Articles are invited from a wide range of disciplines about all levels and facets of education. The journal particularly welcomes articles that consider new initiatives in, and new directions for, education and which support the aims of the World Education Fellowship.

Articles may vary in length and format but should not exceed 5000 words and should include:

  • an abstract of approximately 100 words,
  • contact details for the corresponding author, and
  • brief biographical details (1-2 sentences) for each author.

All substantial articles offered to New Horizons in Education are refereed. Published peer reviewed articles are approved for inclusion in the Australian Department of Education, Science and Training (DEST) annual publications report as refereed journal articles.

Manuscripts should be submitted in electronic format as an email attachment in Word, to the Editor margaret.kiley@anu.edu.au. Authors are asked to use a standard word processing application, keep formatting to a minimum and avoid including the name of the author(s) in footers or headers.

Charts, diagrams, line drawings, plans and photographs should be placed at the end of the article, with reference to them in the text.

The best guide to current New Horizons in Education style is the material appearing in the journal itself, with the author-date format preferred.

Explanatory and supplementary material should appear in the text or be included in an endnote rather than footnote. Where an author's name appears in the text of an article, the date and relevant page numbers, if appropriate, should be provided, as follows: Andrews (1999) or (Andrews, 1999; Epstein, 1998) or (Epstein, 1998: 24). References to books and articles should be placed at the end of the articles in alphabetical order.

Some guiding principles follow:

Conant, J. B. (1953) Education and liberty: The role of schools in a modern democracy. Cambridge, MA; Harvard University Press.

Leinhardt, G. (1998) Situated knowledge and expertise in teaching. In K. Calderhead (Ed) Teachers' professional learning (pp 146-168). London; Falmer.

Lyman, P. (1991) The emerging electronic library. Australian Academic & Research Libraries, 22 (3) 159-166.

Linn, R L. (2000) Assessment and accountability. ER Online, 29 (2) http://www.aera.net/pubs/er/arts/29-02/linn01.htm

While manuscripts for refereeing can be forwarded at any time deadlines for copy of news and reviews are 1 April and 1 September for the June and November issues respectively.
