TheLondon Review of Education(LRE) is a diamond open-access, peer-reviewed journal that provides a diversity of perspectives on all types, sectors and phases of education. It is free to read and free to write for; there are no article processing charges. LRE is a wide-ranging journal that features rigorous analysis and significant research using a variety of methodologies across key themes in education. For example, we cover but are not limited to: assessment; curriculum; educational improvement; equalities and human rights; institutional effectiveness; language, literacy and numeracy; lifelong learning; organization; pedagogy; public goals and policies; resources and technology; teacher education; widening participation. We particularly welcome articles that cross disciplines and interrogate links between research, policy and practice. We ensure the highest quality of reporting and presentation through an independent, anonymised peer-review process. Once accepted, articles are published as and when ready, eliminating delays in publication. As an entirely online open-access journal, LRE provides opportunities for including illustrative video clips, colour photos and illustrations. Our scope is deliberately broad to support the evolving ways in which research addresses challenges in education. We especially encourage interdisciplinary collaborations and international co-authorsh
