Journal of Innovation in Polytechnic Education

Aims & Scope

The Journal of Innovation in Polytechnic Education (JIPE) is an online, open-access journal that publishes both peer-reviewed and non-peer-reviewed contributions. Submission categories include original research papers, review articles, brief reports, innovation spotlights, book reviews and presentation summaries . JIPE mobilizes knowledge and insights generated by the global polytechnic community, showcasing diverse scholarly and practice-informed contributions. It is electronically published by Humber Polytechnic Press under the Office of the Senior Vice-President, Academic at Humber Polytechnic . JIPE welcomes scholarly and practice-informed submissions from the tertiary (post-secondary or higher education) sector, including universities, colleges, polytechnic institutions, and vocational institutes. We publish work that strengthens applied learning and practice by offering usable insights, practical implications, or well-framed questions that move practice forward. JIPE also invites submissions from students and research assistants. A faculty member must serve as a senior author/mentor and submit on behalf of the student authors, i.e., students should be the primary writers of the manuscript and should have analyzed the data to draw conclusions based on the results. Students must have approval from the relevant faculty, research lab or centre of innovation to submit the results for publication. JIPE publishes articles that explore the integration of theory and practice as well as educational practices that foster innovation and entrepreneurship characteristic of the polytechnic model of education. JIPE especially encourages contributions exploring the value of polytechnics; examples include but are not limited to innovative teaching and learning practices, interdisciplinary approaches, engagement of students with industry, action learning, applied learning, industry partnerships, skills development, impact measurements, research outcomes, demystifying innovation, and hypothesis-driven experimental research. Submissions can cover areas of the scholarship of teaching & learning, life sciences, social innovation, health, psychology, Indigenous education & research, and STEAMS. Relevant engineering and mathematics articles are also accepted as long as there is a clear question and hypothesis being tested.
