The goal of this list compiled by Robert Stoyan (TECFA) is to provide all information that is needed to decide where you want to publish an e-learning paper. Included are both dedicated e-learning journals and other journals regularly publishing on e-learning. The order is by impact factor (Thomson-Reuters journal citation index). The top end (impact over 1.2) is rather complete, below that there are many omissions currently. To be improved. There are several other e-learning journal lists, they are longer, but contain little information per journal:

Revision as of 15:01, 18 December 2011

Introduction

The goal of this list compiled by Robert Stoyan (TECFA) is to provide all information that is needed to decide where you want to publish an e-learning paper. Included are both dedicated e-learning journals and other journals regularly publishing on e-learning. The order is by impact factor (Thomson-Reuters journal citation index). The top end (impact over 1.2) is rather complete, below that there are many omissions currently. To be improved. There are several other e-learning journal lists, they are longer, but contain little information per journal:

At some point we shall try to add some information about importance. Importance could be impact factors but also other criteria, such as adoption by a well established sub community of reasearchers.

We cannot reproduce Reuters impact factors for copyright reasons. We may, at some point, retrieve IF from other sources, i.e. the journal home page. Anyhow, impact factor is an interesting indicator but by no means it should be the only criteria for submitting an article.

  • Impact factor depends on the number of people working in a field. E.g. Medical journals get higher rankings than psychology journals than "true" educational technology journals.
  • Impact factor depends on the citation scheme. In computer science, references take much less space and therefore people add more.
  • Impact factor favors conservative thought. Academics only read what they are familiar with.
  • Etc. (there are many more reasons why considering an impact factor "as is" is inappropriate)

Educational Psychology Review

Importance


Review process

  1. Peer Review: yes (2011)
  2. Time needed for first editorial screening:
  3. Time needed for answer from peer review: "We average about 32 days" (answer from editor, 2011)
  4. % accepted: 30-40% (answer from editor, 2011)
  5. how fast did editor answer emails (days, different experiences): same day

What they publish

  1. article types (empirical / review / other): from 8 papers, about 6 are reviews and 2 other. Most of the other are replication of existing studies, a few (maybe 1 of 20) are a special category "Research into Practice" - to explain a well supported educ. innovation to practitioners. They declare not to publish empirical research (other than replications)
  2. topics: "educational psychology", not further specified. bad from e-learning perspective: only some 2 papers out of 16 are e-learning (2011)
  3. online/print/both: both (2011)
  4. Frequency:
  5. Article length: 8500 words (including references)
  6. Article sections:

Importance


Review process

  1. Peer Review: yes (2011)
  2. Time needed for first editorial screening:
  3. Time needed for answer from peer review: "Our turnaround time has averaged less than 7 weeks this year, although there are some manuscripts that have been outliers. You can be fairly confident of receiving a decision within 3 months." (answer from editor, 2011)
  4. % accepted: 20% (answer from editor, 2011)
  5. how fast did editor answer emails (days, different experiences): 4

What they publish

  1. article types (empirical / review / other): "scholarly essays, reviews, critiques, and theoretical and conceptual articles" "not publish articles whose primary purpose is to report the methods and results of an empirical study" "not articles that are intended mainly as practical guides" (2011)
  2. topics: "all aspects of educational psychology". From 4 issues checked, there was a full special edition on e-learning, but no other paper on e-learning (2011) Asking the editor, if a paper on theory how to build educational games would be welcome, he made clear that this is within the scope of the journal (as the proposed abstract emphasized psychological and educational theory) but it is very far away from what they usually publish. Generally, from checking through several years, there was absolutely no paper on constructing any system or game for e-learning. There were papers on psychological / learning processes induced by such systems. (2011)
  3. online/print/both: both (2011)
  4. Frequency: 4 (2011)
  5. length: "articles of varying lengths ... will be considered" (2011)
