EDUCATION POLICY ANALYSIS ARCHIVES 2020 IN RETROSPECT Dear Colleagues,
Despite the uncertainty and difficulties of this unprecedented year, EPAA/AAPE rose to the challenge. In 2020, the journal published a record number of articles and received a record number of submissions. These achievements, and those listed below, are possible due to the whole EPAA/AAPE community – editors, authors, reviewers, and readers. Thanks to you, EPAA/AAPE remains an important conduit for rigorous, relevant, and inclusive scholarship on education policy, as well as a much-needed voice for diversity and inclusion within education.
Please join us in celebrating some of this year’s highlights: OPEN ACCESS & EQUITY In 2020, we published 189 peer-reviewed articles and commentaries and 16 video commentaries, at no cost to readers or authors. The authors of 8 of these works also made their published versions accessible through translations. Throughout the year, EPAA/AAPE articles collectively were viewed over 1,000,000 times. In June 2020, EPAA/AAPE was also awarded the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) Seal, for its demonstration of best practice in open access publishing. COLLABORATION & DIVERSITY In 2020, EPAA/AAPE’s editorial teams, representing 6 countries, worked with almost 450 authors and over 400 reviewers to bring education policy research to over 12,000 readers in three languages: English, Portuguese, and Spanish.
