Studies in Higher Education
Studies in Higher Education is a leading international journal published on behalf of the SRHE by Taylor & Francis Group. It has a global readership and expects authors to make their work interesting, relevant and intelligible to that readership.
The journal publishes ten issues and two special issues per year, and is managed by its Editor-in-Chief, Professor Creso Sa, its Senior Editor, Professor Maria Slowey, and a small team of Associate Editors and Special Issue Editors. The SRHE executive team supports the editors on administration, management, and contractual issues, and liaises with the publisher.
Editorial Board: Call for Expressions of Interest
We are also seeking to recruit new members of the Editorial Advisory Board from 31 January 2025.
Members of the Editorial Advisory Board serve to support the Editorial Team in maintaining the high academic standards of the journal. They will have an established research interest in higher education, and will advise on topics and articles relating to their scholarly expertise, normally acting as a peer reviewer for at least three articles per year, and providing additional input from time to time with Special Issues in their relevant area of expertise. They will also work with their contacts to encourage peer review more widely for the journal, and to encourage submissions to it. Members of the Board will have an appreciation for the journal’s international scope. The EAB also meets annually to discuss the performance of the journal, its strategic direction, and wider issues within the field of research into Higher Education and scholarly publishing. Members are appointed for 5 years in the first instance.
The Society encourages expressions of interest from all qualified candidates and is committed to increasing our engagement with underrepresented groups and regions. Following a review of current board composition, applicants with research knowledge/expertise of regions in the global south, and those with a scholarly interest in the digital university, AI, new learning technologies and/or expertise in quantitative research methods are particularly encouraged to apply. We also welcome potential members who would be willing to help mentor early career researchers in editorial advisory board practice and/or peer review.

Please send a summary CV (maximum 2 sides of A4 per individual not including publication record) and a covering letter giving a short rationale supporting the reasons for your interest in serving on the Board to the Society CEO/Director, Clare Loughlin-Chow at clare.loughlin-chow@srhe.ac.uk.
