Selection criteria
The journal is primarily devoted to the needs of those involved with the administration and study of institutional management in higher education. Articles should be concerned, therefore, with issues bearing on the practical working and policy direction of higher education. Contributions should, however, go beyond mere description of what is, or prescription of what ought to be, although both descriptive and prescriptive accounts are acceptable if they offer generalisations of use in contexts beyond those being described. Whilst articles devoted to the development of theory for its own sake will normally find a place in other and more academically based journals, theoretical treatments of direct use to practitioners will be considered.
Other criteria include clarity of expression and thought. Titles of articles should be no more than 75 characters.
Presentation
Electronic submission (in Word) is preferred. Three copies of each article should be sent if the article is submitted on paper only.
Length: should not exceed 15 pages (single spaced) including figures and references (about 5 000 words).
The first page: before the text itself should appear centred on the page in this order: the title of the article and the name(s), affiliation(s) and country/countries of the author(s).
Abstract: the main text should be preceded by an abstract of 100 to 150 words giving an outline of the article (this text should not be a full summary, not be repeated within the body of the article or contain conclusions).
Quotations: quotations over five lines long should be single spaced and each line should be indented seven spaces.
Footnotes: authors should avoid using footnotes and should incorporate any explanatory material in the text itself. If notes cannot be avoided, they should be endnotes.
Tables and illustrations: tabular material should bear a centred heading “Table”. Presentations of non-tabular material should bear a centred heading “Figure”. The source should always be cited. Original source files (rather than "embedded pictures") should be provided.
Addresses of author(s), including e-mail, should be given at the end of the article.
Funding source: The article's funding source should be indicated in one sentence, after the author's address. If no funding source was inolved, please confirm this by email to the OECD Secretariat.
References in the text: Vidal and Mora (2003) or Bleiklie et al. (2000) in the case of three or more authors.
References at the end of the article: references should be listed in alphabetical order under the heading “References”. The names of up to three authors can be given; for more than three authors just cite the name followed by et al.
