About Us

Mission Statement

In the stormy seas of school reform, this journal will steer a steady course, presenting the facts as best they can be determined, giving voice (without fear or favor) to worthy research, sound ideas, and responsible arguments. Bold change is needed in American K–12 education, but Education Next partakes of no program, campaign, or ideology. It goes where the evidence points.

Peer Review Policy

All papers published in the research section of Education Next have been subjected to peer review. Papers that have not been accepted for publication in a peer-reviewed academic journal are submitted to scholars with expertise about the topic of the paper. A single-blind process is followed: authors are not told the identity of the reviewers, but are provided with a copy of the reviewers’ feedback. Reviews from at least two scholars must be received prior to publication. Papers that have been accepted for publication in a peer-reviewed academic journal are only subject to additional peer review at the discretion of the editors. Editors may ask authors to revise papers in light of reviewer comments. A decision whether or not to publish is based on reviewer comments and the editors’ own assessments of the quality of the paper.

The opinions expressed in Education Next are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect those of the Editorial Board of Education Next, the Board of Directors of Education Next Institute, Inc., or the sponsors of Education Next.
