Aims and scope
When submitting a manuscript, authors will be taken to a service called Paperpal Preflight, an AI-driven tool that checks manuscripts against the journal’s author guidelines. Authors are free to use or bypass this step and submit directly to ScholarOne.

Higher Education Evaluation and Development (HEED) is a scholarly refereed journal that aims to encourage research in higher education evaluation and development, raising standard of evaluation research and sharing the discoveries worldwide. HEED is receptive to critical, phenomenological as well as positivistic studies.

The journal would like to publish more studies that use hermeneutic, semiotic, ethnographic or dialectical research as well as the more traditional studies based on quantitative surveys and in-depth interviews and focus groups. Original papers, research outcomes, case studies, and reviews are published through this platform.

Papers that have empirical research content are particularly welcome. The editor especially wishes to encourage papers on:

Reported research results, especially where these assess the impact of quality assurance systems, procedures and methodologies
Theoretical analyses of evaluation initiatives in higher education
Comparative evaluation and international aspects of practice and higher education policy
Quality assurance and standards monitoring of higher education development
Student engagement and learning outcomes in higher education institutions
Any related to quality assurance, evaluation and higher education policy and development backed up by research evidence
