Practitioner insights in managing higher education

This special issue will focus on professional practice and institutional policy matters within higher education. The goal is to collate a series of articles that will provide best practice case studies and research outcomes that will be of immediate practical value to decision makers and service managers within universities.

Papers are sought from both managers and practitioners within tertiary education and from researchers of topics relevant to higher education policy and management. We welcome studies with a qualitative, quantitative, or mixed-method research design, or evidence-based outcomes of improvement projects or new approaches to managing university services or functions.

Articles published in this special issue will inform managers and professionals in higher education to improve policy and practice in their institution, or provide evidence for system-wide changes.

Between five and eight abstracts will be selected for development into an article for the special issue. Papers will be up to 5,000 words in length, excluding references, tables and appendices. Final acceptance of manuscripts will be subject to peer review. Proposals from previously unpublished authors are encouraged. The guest editors can provide support to shortlisted authors to develop their paper if required but only manuscripts of publishable quality will be included in the special issue.

If you have any queries regarding this special issue, please contact the Special Issues Editor, Dr Maddy McMaster, at [email protected].
