Aims and Scope: 
The International Journal of Leadership in Education is an 
international Journal for the publication of theoretical 
and practical discussions of educational leadership. It 
provides a forum for researchers and practitioner-
researchers' to consider conceptual, methodological and 
practical issues in a range of professional and service 
settings and sectors. The journal publishes cutting-edge 
research on instructional supervision, curriculum and 
teaching development and educational administration. It 
offers a broad definition of leadership, including teachers 
as leaders, shared governance, site-based decision-making 
and community-school collaborations. Each edition of the 
journal features articles which fall within four broad 
categories (though others may be considered):

Research
This section contains peer-reviewed ‘reflexive’ 
theoretically-based papers (around 5-8000 words), debating 
and exploring theoretical and methodological issues, across 
a range of disciplines, methodological approaches (for 
example, qualitative and quantitative) and substantive 
topics. In addition, as the Editor deems appropriate, 
overview or review articles are commissioned from a leading 
author, discussing debates or the state of the art in 
relation to an area of educational leadership. 

Practice
This section contains shorter pieces from both academics 
and practitioner-researchers (around 2-5000 words) 
concerned with practice and/or research among a range of 
professional and service sectors (for example, action 
research and practitioner research). These papers are 
subject to peer (academic and/or practitioner) researcher 
or editorial review, as appropriate. 

Commentary
Timely, provocative, and profound commentary  which may 
elicit responses - a running dialogue.

Reviews 
This section contains reviews of books concerned with 
educational leadership. The contents are subject to 
editorial review.
