Session Information
Contribution
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.
