EDUCATION
JOURNALS
Educational journals, primarily from Australia [and New Zealand] are listed in alphabetical order below. Australian journals are indicated with [AU] following the name of the journal or [AU +] where done jointly with other countries.
No summaries are provided for individual journals as it is believed they are either too well known, or their title indicates their content and provides adequate guidance for potential usage.
Most sites have archives going back over considerable periods of time.
Most journals included have either full or partial Open Access content. This may be either online, PDF or Word formats. A number of journals which do not yet provide open access have still been included. These are indicated with a term such as Purchase article[s] or Subscription required.
Some journals are listed as Transformative Journals [e.g. The Australian Educational Researcher]. This means it ‘is a subscription or hybrid journal that has committed to transitioning to fully OA – authors can choose between gold OA or subscription publication, based on their preferences, funder or institutional requirements, and APC funding availability’. [Springer].
In addition to the individual journals listing, links are provided which access larger collections of journals [Australian and International] than can be listed here. Even these may not cover all relevant educational journals online or in print at this time.
This page provides links to many education journals, with as many as possible Open Access and also to sites providing link collections for education journals. You may be able to access other education journals, or specific content, at no cost through other venues such as university and state libraries or internet-based connections.
