The International Journal of Educational Research invites proposals for special issues, especially on the following themes:

*mathematics and science education

*school improvement research

*professional development of teachers

*theory and practice in teaching and learning

The expectation is that a proposal will show an awareness of international perspectives; and that the contents of the special issue would be of interest to an international audience. A special issue might bring together work by researchers from different countries, or authors might expressly make international comparisons. But an internationally diverse set of contributors or an international comparative approach to research is not a requirement for successful proposals. The key issue is that the contents report high quality research on a theme which has international relevance.

Guidance about how to propose a special issue can be found at http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/491/authorinstructions.
