About Asian Education and Development Studies
Aims and scope
Asian Education and Development Studies (AEDS) is the official journal of Asia Pacific Higher Education Research Partnership (APHERP). APHERP is the Inter-University Research Consortium promoting research in education and development studies in the Asia-Pacific region.
Papers that have an interdisciplinary and multi-disciplinary approach with an endeavour to have strong policy impact and implications for regional and global development, are particularly welcome. Aspects of development with which the journal is concerned include: transnationalisation of higher education; economic growth, infrastructure and poverty reduction; human development, quality of life and well-being; digital transformation and society; governance and environmental sustainability.
Articles that do not have an explicit Asian focus will also be considered if they demonstrate cross-regional comparisons with other major global regions relevant to the wider international readership.
