The Educational Research Network for West and Central Africa (ERNWACA) calls for scientific articles in all areas of education for the third edition of the Journal of Educational Research in Africa (JERA), a social science review.  JERA, a long time objective of ERNWACA, will help promote quality research relevant to African contexts and should help teachers, educational administrators and policymakers gain analytical in-depth understanding of contemporary educational issues.

JERA is a biannual journal of ERNWACA. Vol. 1, No. 3, will be published in June 2010. Last date for submission of papers is 31 October 2009. An abstract of 150 to 200 words in both French and English is required.

The articles should include the following sections:
·    Introduction
·    Context
·    Methods
·    Findings
·    Discussions.

Manuscripts submitted to the journal should be typed, approximately 7000 words, with one and a half point spacing. Send your papers to jerare@rocare.org in MS word or RTF attachments. Camara-ready copies of maps, charts, and graphs are required, as well as data used in plotting the charts and graphs. Use APA guidelines for bibliographic referencing.  Authors should include their full names, address, academic status and current institutional affiliation on page 1 only and not in the body of the text. Manuscripts will not be returned to authors if the paper is not accepted.

Articles submitted to JERA should be original contributions and should not be considered by another publication at the same time.
