Wiley and the British Educational Research Association Extend their Partnership to Advance Educational Research

John Wiley and Sons Inc., (NYSE: JW-A) (NYSE: JW-B) and the British Educational Research Association (BERA) today announced that they are renewing their current publishing partnership and extending it with the transition of the fourth BERA journal Curriculum Journal. This international peer-reviewed journal publishes original contributions to the study of curriculum, pedagogy and assessment. It will be available on subscription from Wiley beginning January 2020. BERA also partners with Wiley for the publication of British Educational Research Journal (BERJ), British Journal of Educational Technology (BJET), and the Review of Education (ROE).

“BERA is delighted to continue its partnership with Wiley. The three journals that we currently publish with Wiley have all grown in strength and we welcome the opportunity to add the Curriculum Journal (CJ) to the portfolio. I have no doubt that this new partnership will allow the journal to flourish. By taking the decision to move all four of our peer reviewed journals to one publisher, there will be benefits for authors, editors, readers and BERA members,” said Nick Johnson, Executive Director, BERA. 

Since its inception in 1974, BERA has expanded into an internationally renowned association with UK and non-UK based members. BERA is committed to advancing knowledge of education by sustaining a strong and high-quality educational research community. BERA provides opportunities for everyone active in the education field to contribute through its portfolio of distinguished publications, its world-class conferences and events, and its active peer community.

“We are extremely proud to be continuing and extending our partnership with BERA. High quality educational research and evidence is critical to improvements in the education field and to advancing a more knowledgeable world. Wiley welcomes the opportunity to develop a portfolio strategy with BERA that will successfully take the journals into a future increasingly shaped by open access and open research,” said Jay Flynn, Chief Product Officer, Research.
