Politics Surveys, Debates and Controversies in Politics: Published by the Political Studies Association and Blackwell Publishing. www.psa.ac.uk/
Since its launch in 1980, politics has carved out a distinctive niche, publishing cutting-edge political analysis in a short-article format. Broad in scope and readable in style, it analyses developments in contemporary politics in the UK, Europe and the world, advances political theory and serves as the 'bulletin board' for the discipline. Articles and debates deal with key issues for our times and engage with the major themes of the discipline. The short-article format means that articles are provocative, punchy and readable. http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/journal.asp?ref=0263-3957
Journal of Political Science Education:
Published By: Taylor & Francis.
The Journal of Political Science Education is comprehensively concerned around the teaching and learning of politics. The audience for the journal is focused with political teaching and learning, broadly conceived. The core audience includes political scientists at both undergraduate teaching institutions and research institutions involved in graduate student training. In addition, the audience includes those teaching at the community college level and, potentially, at the high school level as well. The journal includes topics regarding pedagogical scholarship and the scholarship of teaching and learning; discussion of assessment issues; and reviews of both textbooks and relevant teaching technologies of use to political scientists. The journal aims to represent the full range of questions, issues and approaches regarding political science education, including teaching-related issues, methods and techniques, learning/teaching activities and devices, educational assessment in political science, graduate education, and curriculum development. In particular, the journal's editors welcome studies that reflect the scholarship of teaching and learning, or works that would be informative and/or of practical use to the readers of the Journal of Political Science Education, and address topics in an empirical way, making use of the techniques that political scientists use in their own substantive research.http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/titles/15512169.asp

Studies in Higher Education Published by Routledge on behalf of the Society for Research into Higher Education.
Studies in Higher Education welcomes empirically based, reflective and synoptic articles dealing with any aspect of higher education, approached from any perspective or discipline. A key criterion for publication is that articles should be written in an accessible, but rigorous, style that is likely to engage those without a specialist interest in the topic being discussed. As Studies in Higher Education is an international journal, it is also important that authors engage with relevant literature from other countries, and explain, where appropriate, the national context for their research. http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/journal.asp?issn=0307-5079&linktype=1
