Journal of Applied Educational Research and Evaluation –
Call for Manuscripts and Peer Reviewers
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to introduce the Journal of Applied Educational Research and Evaluation (JAERE), a newly launched open-access scholarly journal dedicated to advancing rigorous interdisciplinary scholarship that advances educational research, informs practice, and contributes to policy development across diverse educational contexts.
We invite scholars, researchers, evaluators, and practitioners to become involved with the journal by submitting their scholarship for publication and/or serving as peer reviewers.
Call for Manuscripts
Journal of Applied Educational Research and Evaluation (JAERE) welcomes original scholarly manuscripts that contribute to educational research, evaluation, policy, and practice. We encourage submissions representing diverse educational contexts, populations, theoretical perspectives, and methodological approaches, including quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods research.
As an open-access journal, JAERE is committed to making high-quality scholarship freely accessible to researchers, educators, practitioners, policymakers, and other members of the educational community.
We invite you to consider JAERE as a publication venue for your current and future scholarship and to share the journal with colleagues whose work aligns with its scope.
Become a Peer Reviewer
As we build the journal and its scholarly community, we are also expanding our pool of peer reviewers. We welcome scholars and professionals with demonstrated research or professional expertise relevant to the journal's scope and experience conducting, reviewing, or evaluating educational research.
Peer reviewers are selected based on the alignment of their substantive and methodological expertise with the manuscript under consideration. In identifying reviewers, the editorial team considers relevant scholarly or professional expertise, methodological knowledge, research and publication experience, and, when applicable, prior peer-review experience. Reviewers must also be independent of the authors, disclose any potential conflicts of interest, and maintain the confidentiality of manuscripts and the peer-review process.
If you are interested in joining our peer reviewer pool, please provide the following:
Serving as a peer reviewer provides an opportunity to contribute to the development of a new scholarly publication and support fellow researchers through constructive peer review.

Human Flourishing Program at Harvard University — Invitation to Participate in the Second Cohort of the Academic Flourishing Initiative (AFI)
I'm writing to invite your school to participate in the second cohort of our Academic Flourishing Initiative (AFI) at Harvard University.
AFI aims to help universities fill a significant gap in typical approaches to on-campus assessment, by focusing attention on student flourishing, university community well-being, and student’s perceptions of the university’s contributions to their formation for lives of integrity, civic service, and flourishing more broadly.
The AFI is a research consortium of colleges and universities working with us at HFH and with one another to implement a common campus-wide assessment and to pool their insights into how best to promote academic flourishing on their campuses and across higher education. Membership in the AFI is $10, 000 per year for institutions that join by November 30th, 2026, after which the cost will rise to $12, 000 per year. Participation can occur institution-wide or through an individual school, college, or academic unit.
If you intend to join, please begin by filling out our Project Planning Form.
Further inquiries about the AFI can be directed to Roza Nalbandyan.
