Wanted: AIJRE editorial team and advisory board members!

The Australian and International Journal of Rural Education (AIJRE) is one of the few publications that focus on rural education research, and it is perhaps the only one with an international focus. The AIJRE is building its international reputation and improving its standing as a quality journal. Over the last few years, citation rates for articles in the journal have been steadily increasing, and in the previous year, the number of submissions received doubled. The quality improvement and increased demand for the journal have meant that the workload for editors and reviewers has increased.

Therefore, the editorial team is working on building and diversifying the editorial team and the editorial advisory board. We are looking for people who can commit to editorial processes, and we are looking for board members who come from increasingly diverse geographic and disciplinary contexts to support the Journal’s review needs. These two roles provide an exciting opportunity for rural professionals, researchers, and experienced practitioners to play a role in the dissemination of articles that reflect high-quality research and good practice in rural education. If you are interested in one of these roles, you can have a look at the current membership and roles for editors here and for the advisory board here. Expressions of interest can be sent to john.guenther@batchelor.edu.au. Include your CV and an outline of why you are interested.
