COVID-19 impact on JSIE

As a result of the significant disruption that is being caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, we understand that many authors and peer reviewers will be making adjustments to their professional and personal lives. As a result, they may have difficulty in meeting the timelines associated with our peer review process. Please let the editorial team know if you need additional time and we will make sure to grant appropriate extensions. We thank authors and reviewers alike for their patience at this challenging time.

The Journal of Studies in International Education (JSIE) is the premiere forum for higher education leaders, administrators, educators, researchers and policy makers interested in all facets of the internationalization of higher education. Articles discuss theoretical, conceptual and practical aspects of the internationalization of higher education. The journal attracts an international audience of researchers, students and practitioners and requires that authors reference a range of relevant international literature.

JSIE publishes articles exploring concepts, strategies, approaches and issues of relevance to the internationalization of higher education which make a significant and original contribution to theory and practice. Prospective authors are encouraged to look at articles that have been published by JSIE to get an insight into the range of topics that have been covered in the past. JSIE is also open to publishing novel ideas and concepts linked to the internationalization of higher education.

Articles submitted to JSIE will be assessed against the following criteria:

• They fit within the aims and scope of the journal;
• They are situated in the international higher education literature;
• They are innovative and present original findings.
• They comply with the guidelines for publication, including a length of no more than 7,000 words including everything (tables, references, captions and endnotes); and
• The manuscript is written in a clear and grammatically correct academic English.

Any failure to meet these criteria will lead to a desk rejection.

The Journal of Studies in International Education considers all manuscripts on the following conditions:

• the manuscript is the original work of the authors, and does not duplicate previously published work, including previously published work of the authors;
• the manuscript has been submitted only to the Journal of Studies in International Education; it is not under consideration or peer review elsewhere, nor has it been accepted for publication elsewhere;
• all contributing researchers and authors are included as authors on the manuscript or appropriately acknowledged.

Practical guidelines

All manuscripts need to be properly formatted for publication in an academic journal. We do encourage authors to consult a few JSIE issues to familiarize themselves with the format and style of the journal prior to submission.

Formatting

• All pages should be numbered sequentially.
• Tables should be included at the end of the manuscript and numbered in the order in which they appear in the text with appropriate captions. Figures should be treated similarly.
• For instructions and guidelines on supplemental materials, please refer to the gateway here.

Because of space issues (i.e., desired number of pages per article and per issue), we ask that authors consider carefully the number of tables, figures and appendixes included in the paper. An excessive number of tables/figures would lead to a rejection out of concern for the number of pages these consume.

Length of manuscript

Authors should include the final word count on the first page of their manuscript. A typical manuscript will not exceed 7,000 words, including tables, references, captions and endnotes. Manuscripts exceeding this limit will be rejected.

References

References should be formatted according to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA), 7^th edition.

Abstract and keywords

All submitted manuscripts should include an abstract of no more than 150 words. Abstracts should not include any undefined abbreviation.

A few keywords are also requested for indexing purposes. If appropriate, please remember to include a keyword pertaining to the region/country of the study.

Acknowledgments

We ask that you refrain from including acknowledgments in the anonymize manuscript out of anonymization concerns. The acknowledgment section, as well as the funding section, can be included on the title page.

English language

Please note that we only publish manuscripts written in a clear and grammatically correct academic English. Non-Anglophone authors are advised to use the service of an Anglophone colleague or a professional editor, to avoid rejection on the basis of poor language.

Authors who want to refine the use of English in their manuscripts might consider utilizing the services of SPi, a non-affiliated company that specializes in editing and correcting English-language manuscripts written by authors with a primary language other than English. Visit http://www.prof-editing.com for more information. (Please be aware that Sage has no affiliation with SPi and makes no endorsement of the company. An author’s use of SPi’s services in no way guarantees that his or her submission will ultimately be accepted. Any arrangement an author enters into will be exclusively between the author and SPi, and any costs incurred are the sole responsibility of the author.)

How and what to submit

Submit your manuscript to the Sagetrack site, located at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jsie.

If you have difficulties with doing so, you can go to the Author Guide PDF available at the following link: https://clarivate.com/webofsciencegroup/support/scholarone-manuscripts/for-authors/ or by clicking on the "FAQs & User Guides” link under “Resources” on the login page.

You will be asked to submit:
