About the Journal

Focus and Scope

The Texas Education Review (TxEd) is an open-access, online, student peer-reviewed journal carrying original empirical and theoretical educational research.  We welcome pieces that address sociopolitical, economic, cultural, and organizational issues in education.  TxEd seeks to build collaborative research relationships that extend beyond The University of Texas at Austin.  We invite practitioners, policy-makers, activists, and researchers, as well as emerging and faculty scholars to submit manuscripts and editorials on contemporary issues in education.  Manuscripts and editorials should be aimed at analyzing, evaluating, problematizing, and/or pushing educational scholarship forward. 

Manuscripts

Manuscripts should be original empirical, theoretical, and literature review research from a wide range of qualitative and quantitative methodological traditions.  These traditions may include but are not limited to ethnographic, case-study, narrative, phenomenological, topical historical, legal, experimental, correlational, and survey research.  Literature, chosen methodologies, analyses, discussion, and policy recommendations should be clear and relevant to the selected Critical Issue.    

Editorials

Editorials should address a current issue in education.  Editorials can be written either in expository or narrative style, and should include rigorous reflection on the chosen educational issue.  Although offering a subjective perspective, editorials should outline a key argument or interrelated arguments on a given topic.  In delineating the argument, authors should include key research literature as evidence for the position taken.  TxEd encourages practitioners, policy-makers, activists, and community member, as well as student and faculty scholars to contribute Critical Issue editorials.
