NICEC JOURNAL - CHANGES TO PUBLICATION METHOD
The following statement, from Issue 48, explains changes that come into effect from 01 May 2022. This page will be fully updated as the changes are implemented.
"Issue 48 marks a landmark in the evolution of this Journal. We have moved to an open access platform for electronic format. This means the Journal will be freely accessible to all via the internet. The Journal is now hosted by the Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform. Current issues and the full back catalogue will be available and searchable. This includes issues in the period 2000-2010 (Issues 1-25), when this publication went under its previous name of Career Research and Development: The NICEC Journal. We hope that open access will bring the work of NICEC Fellows to a wider audience. We will continue to offer opportunities to career development practitioners, research students, and new voices in the field, to publish alongside established academics."
