About This Journal
Purpose
The Journal of International Agricultural and Extension Education is the official refereed publication of the Association for International Agricultural and Extension Education (AIAEE). Its purpose is to enhance the research and knowledge base of agricultural and extension education from an international perspective.
Articles intended for publication should focus on international agricultural education and/or international extension education. Articles should relate to current or emerging issues, cite appropriate literature, and develop implications for international agricultural and extension education. Manuscripts, or portions of manuscripts, must not have been published or be under consideration for publication by another journal.
Three types of articles are solicited for the JIAEE: Feature Articles, Research Notes and Literature Reviews. More specifically, Feature Articles can be focused in one of three contexts – Empirical Research, Methodological or Theoretical/Conceptual.
Feature Articles
Feature Articles focus on the research or evaluation of the theoretical, methodological, and/or practical application of agricultural and extension education, with a preference for articles focused on current and emerging issues. Feature Articles have a page limit of 20 double-spaced pages, excluding references, and must be of interest to agricultural and extension education professionals worldwide.
For publication in the JIAEE, feature articles must pass the JIAEE's double blind, referee process, where peer reviewers evaluate manuscript content and ensure readability. Reviewers are selected from the AIAEE membership and extended family of researchers. In the double-blind referee process, all references to authors are removed before the manuscript is sent to reviewers. Feature Articles may be submitted for peer review a total of three times before they are no longer acceptable for publication in the JIAEE.
Research Notes
A Research Note is a concise but complete description of a limited investigation that will not be included in a later manuscript. It serves one of the following purposes: (1) presents initial proof-of-concept results on new ideas, timely issues, or innovative approaches; (2) reports replications or extensions of previously published research that does not merit another full-length manuscript yet provides results that contribute to a greater understanding of the phenomena under study. Research Notes are no longer than 10 double-spaced pages, excluding references.
For publication in the JIAEE, Research Notes must pass the JIAEE's double blind, refereed process, where peer reviewers evaluate manuscript content and ensure readability. Reviewers are selected from the AIAEE membership and extended family of researchers. In the double-blind referee process, all references to authors are removed before the manuscript is sent to reviewers. Research Notes may be submitted for peer review a total of three times before they are no longer acceptable for publication in the JIAEE.
Literature Review
A literature review is a scholarly paper that compiles, analyzes, and evaluates existing research on a particular topic, summarizing previous studies and identifying trends, gaps, and inconsistencies. We welcome comprehensive literature reviews that synthesize and contribute to key ideas in global extension education. These reviews should offer thorough analysis, highlight knowledge gaps, and propose future research directions. Manuscripts can be up to 30 pages in length, excluding references, allowing for detailed exploration and discussion. We encourage submissions that not only summarize existing knowledge but also offer new perspectives and contribute to ongoing dialogue in the field.
For publication in the JIAEE, Literature Reviews must pass the JIAEE's double blind, refereed process, where peer reviewers evaluate manuscript content and ensure readability. Reviewers are selected from the AIAEE membership and extended family of researchers. In the double-blind referee process, all references to authors are removed before the manuscript is sent to reviewers. Literature Reviews may be submitted for peer review a total of three times before they are no longer acceptable for publication in the JIAEE.
