Contributor Guidelines

Contributors are welcomed from all areas of scholarship relevant to student success. Manuscripts are expected to be original works able to withstand intensive peer review. Topics may address any area of educational scholarship, including humanities, science, social sciences, fine arts, politics, curriculum, assessment, pedagogy, as well as institutional policy, historical perspectives, and professional themes. While the journal serves primarily Bermudian interests, any manuscript submitted for publication should be of international scope and have scholarly significance for research, policy, and practice.

Authors, rather than the editor or Bermuda College, bear responsibility for accuracy and opinions set forth in articles published in Voices in Education.
