Journal Title：Higher Education Policy

Higher Education Policy?is an international peer-reviewed and SSCI-indexed academic journal focusing on higher education policy in a broad sense. The journal considers submissions that discuss national and supra-national higher education policies and/or analyse their impacts on higher education institutions or the academic community: leadership, faculty, staff and students, but also considers papers that deal with governance and policy issues at the level of higher education institutions. Critical analyses, empirical investigations (either qualitative or quantitative), and theoretical-conceptual contributions are equally welcome, but for all submissions the requirement is that papers be embedded in the relevant academic literature and contribute to furthering our understanding of policy.The journal has a preference for papers that are written from a disciplinary or interdisciplinary perspective. In the past, contributors have relied on perspectives from public administration, political science, sociology, history, economics and law, but also from philosophy, psychology and anthropology. Articles devoted to systems of higher education that are less well-known or less often analysed are particularly welcome.Given the international scope of the journal, articles should be written for and be understood by an international audience, consisting of researchers in higher education, disciplinary researchers, and policy-makers, administrators, managers and practitioners in higher education. Contributions should not normally exceed 7,000 words (excluding references). Peer reviewAll submissions to the journal will undergo rigorous peer review (anonymous referees) after an initial editorial screening on quality and fit with the journal's aims.Special issuesThe journal welcomes proposals for special issues. The journal archive contains several examples of special issues. Such proposals, to be sent to the editor, should set out the theme of the special issue and include the names of the (proposed) contributors and summaries of the envisaged contributions. Forum section Occasionally, the journal publishes contributions – in its Forum section – based on personal viewpoints and/or experiences with the intent to stimulate discussion and reflection, or to challenge established thinking in the field of higher education.

《高等教育政策》是一本國際同行評審和 SSCI 索引的學術期刊，廣泛關注高等教育政策。該期刊考慮討論國家和超國家高等教育政策和/或分析其對高等教育機構或學術界（領導、教師、員工和學生）影響的投稿，但也考慮涉及高等教育機構層面的治理和政策問題的論文。批判性分析、實證調查（定性或定量）和理論概念貢獻同樣歡迎，但所有投稿都要求論文嵌入相關學術文獻并有助于加深我們對政策的理解。該期刊偏愛從學科或跨學科角度撰寫的論文。過去，投稿人依靠公共管理、政治學、社會學、歷史、經濟學和法律的觀點，也依靠哲學、心理學和人類學的觀點。特別歡迎那些不太知名或很少被分析的有關高等教育系統的文章。鑒于該期刊的國際范圍，文章應為國際讀者而寫，并被國際讀者理解，包括高等教育研究人員、學科研究人員以及高等教育的政策制定者、管理人員、經理和從業人員。投稿通常不應超過 7,000 字（不包括參考文獻）。同行評審所有投稿都將在經過編輯初步質量審查和符合期刊宗旨后，接受嚴格的同行評審（匿名審稿人）。特刊期刊歡迎特刊提案。期刊檔案包含幾個特刊示例。此類提案應發送給編輯，其中應列出特刊的主題，并包括（擬議的）投稿人的姓名和預期投稿的摘要。論壇部分 有時，期刊會在論壇部分發表基于個人觀點和/或經驗的文章，旨在激發討論和反思，或挑戰高等教育領域的既定思維。

Higher Education Policy創刊于1998年，由Springer Nature出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋EDUCATION & EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH全領域，此刊是中等級別的SCI期刊，所以過審相對來講不是特別難，但是該刊專業認可度不錯，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 ，影響因子指數1.7，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預警名單，廣大學者值得一試。
