Contribution#198: Publishing in Journals in Initial and Continuing Vocational Education and Training Issues and Challenges

Abstract

Ten years of VETNET programmes at ECER conferences have passed. One of the aims of VETNET was and still is to stimulate conference contributors to publish their work in academic journals. There is a large number of journals in which researchers in the field of initial and continuing vocational education and training (ICVT) can publish their research. Colleagues have their preferences to either publish in journals with high impact, in journal in their research niche, or in both. Currently there is no journal with vocational education in the title which is listed in the Web of Science.

There are also colleagues who have difficulties to find the right journals in the field of ICVT, and to write for these journals. Therefore, VETNET offers a plenary symposium on journals which are publishing work in this field of research.

Different journals are invited for the symposium. Their editors will share information on the scope of the journal, the publishing policy, the types of contributions, the instructions for authors, the review process, and the selection of contributions. Attendants will get an overview of the publishing opportunities in the journals represented.

The journals represented in the symposium cover a large amount of the journals which are available. They were selected on the basis of publishing (at least) in English, having an international scope, and the various affiliations of VETNET members with these journals.

During the session a review will be made of other journals which are important for VET researchers, to see if it is worthwhile to have another session in the 2009 program on the same issue.

Contribution#1064: Scientific Journal "Vocational Education: Research and Reality"

Abstract

This Journal has appeared as the result of a long-term co-operation between the Centre for Vocational Education and training at Vytautas Magnus University and many countries from West Europe, firstly, Hohenheim University, Germany. Therefore, six vocational education and training scientists from foreign countries are the members of the editorial committee of the Journal. One of the major dispositions of the editorial committee is to devote equal amount of space in the Journal for both - Lithuanian and foreign authors - and this will open wide perspectives for international scientific discussion. The fact that scientific articles will be printed in two languages, Lithuanian and English or German, creates a prospective scientific precedent to creatively adopt different vocational education and training experience, traditions and theories.

The Journal will not limit itself to scientific discussions. In the vocational education and training column the reader will find presentations of the newest publications - books, monographs, textbooks, descriptions of the research findings, reviews, statistical material, information about the experience and innovations in vocational education and training in other countries.
