Cadmo: 2009: Call for papers

/upload/images/ciea_logo_header.jpg

Cadmo is a biannual scientific journal launched in 1993 and published by FrancoAngeli. Since 2007 it has been an ISI publication (listed in the Social Sciences citation index).  AEA-Europe and Cadmo Board have entered into an agreement which provides for AEA-Europe to adopt Cadmo as the Association's journal and to distribute it to AEA-Europe members from 2008.  AEA-Europe will edit one issue of Cadmo every two years.

Invitation to Submit

The special issue of Cadmo in 2009 will be the responsibility of AEA-Europe The issue will focus on Assessment and Accountability Across Europe. Accountability has been a growing purpose of educational assessment across Europe in the last 20 years.  It can be applied to whole systems, to areas of a country, to schools, to universities and to individual teachers.  Yet there are great differences between countries in their philosophies of accountability and in the methods adopted.  This special issue gives an opportunity to reflect, review and consider the success and failure of the various systems operating within Europe within an integrated setting.

This call for papers invites relevant articles from those working in this area.

Articles must be acceptable to a general readership and relevant to the journal's European readers.

Examples of possible topics include:

·         The political nature of approaches to accountability

·         Differences between countries and the reasons for these

·         Evaluative research on accountability systems and their effects on assessment and education

·         Examination systems designed for accountability

Articles may be in any mainstream European language, but authors should know that the journal will include over half the articles in English.  Articles should begin with a structured abstract in English of 700-100 characters (10-12 lines) and include up to six keywords.  The article should be around 20,000 to 30,000 characters.

 

Articles must be submitted by e-mail to the Lead Editor, Jo-Anne Baird, at Jo-Anne.Baird@bristol.ac.uk by 15 December 2008 at the latest. Submissions must be clearly labelled as submission for Cadmo Accountability Special Issue 2009. Late submissions cannot be considered.

Submissions will be subject to the Journal's rigorous peer review process, based on initial editorial screening (all submissions) and refereeing by at least two anonymous referees for submissions selected from the initial screening.
