Policy and Practice: A Development Education Review
The journal is published twice a year.  It aims to facilitate reflection and discourse on development education practice in the island of Ireland and to help address the capacity and communications deficit in the development education sector. The journal features a range of in-depth contributions from within the development sector and mainstream education on aspects of development education practice such as methodologies, monitoring and evaluation, the production of resources, enhancing organisational capacity, strategic interventions in education, and sectoral practice (for example formal, youth, adult, community, Minority Ethnic Groups and media).

Types of Articles

Guest Editorial
The Guest Editorial is usually 800-1000 words and allows a personal reflection and comment on the issue’s main theme whilst highlighting and linking key points and arguments from the Focus articles. Personal interpretation of the theme and articles in the Editorial is important and this may range from an overview of the issue, to a challenge for readers or a projection for the future.
No editorial duties are required.

Focus articles
The Focus section contains articles that relate to the theme of the issue and are usually between 2,000 -4,000 words. These peer-reviewed articles should examine the key debates and issues relating to the main topic. As these articles will be reviewed, these articles should be of a good standard of English with a well-structured argument and demonstrate a clear understanding of the key issues under discussion. It may be the case that occasionally articles may not be of a suitable standard for the Focus section, but are still of interest to readers and will appear in an alternate section of the journal.

Perspectives articles
The Perspectives section contains articles that are usually between 800-1600 words. These articles may or may not relate to the main theme of the journal. They may include discussion of good practice, challenge or expand on arguments from previous issues, examine differing theories about a topic, or highlight current research.

Viewpoint articles
This section allows two authors to examine and debate a different particular point of view, issue, or policy development for each issue, which relates to the main theme of the journal. These contributions are usually between 800-1000 words.
