Editorial: Inaugural Issue of Higher Education Governance and Policy

Abstract

It is a great pleasure to introduce this very first issue of the first volume of Higher Education Governance and Policy (HEGP), the journal of the Association for Higher Education Studies (YÖÇAD) in Turkey... HEGP undertakes the mission of contributing to the conceptual and empirical base of the governance, policymaking and management of higher education with a strong international focus. As a journal representing an interdisciplinary field, HEGP does not limit itself to any one particular methodological orientation. As a result, the journal welcomes papers conveying quantitative, qualitative or mixed methods. Hence research articles prepared with one of these methodological traditions or purely conceptual papers conveying new perspectives on management, governance and policy issues of HE are most welcome. The language of HEGP is English... As a part of this advocacy for open science, all articles that the journal publishes will be open-access. The journal will publish two issues per year, one in June and the other in December.
