Massey University Graduate School of Education "The following journals provide up-to-date contents and many full text articles related to a wide range of educational disciplines. We invite you to explore the list of 300+ journals below as well as those available from the [Massey] University Library. Bear in mind, some of the internet links will change and you may need to look for a specific journal using an appropriate search engine."

Communication of Research AERA SIG 'To the best of our ability to discern, we have included only links to electronic journals that are scholarly, peer-reviewed, full text and accessible without cost. We have excluded professional magazines that are largely not refereed, and commercial journals that may only allow access to a very limited number of articles as an enticement to buy. By restricting membership in this way on the list that follows, we hope to do what little we can to promote free access world wide to scholarship in education.
