Faculty-run Distance Education Journal Acquired by UK Publishing Group

The Quarterly Review of Distance Education (QRDE), a prominent scholarly journal dedicated to the field of distance education, has been acquired by the Emerald Publishing Group, based in the United Kingdom.

Established in 1999 by faculty member Michael Simonson, Ph.D., and former professor Charles Schlosser, with NSU’s Fischler College of Education and School of Criminal Justice, QRDE has a rich history of contributing to the academic discourse with over 600 published research papers, editorials, book reviews, and professional commentaries. The journal is currently co-sponsored by the United States Distance Learning Association.

As a rigorously referred publication, The Quarterly Review of Distance Education is committed to publishing high-quality articles, research briefs, reviews, and editorials that delve into the theories, research, and practical applications of distance education. The journal specifically seeks articles that employ diverse methodologies, yielding generalizable results that can inform and guide distance education practices across both public and private sectors.

Submissions include full-length manuscripts, research briefs, editorials, reviews of programs and scholarly works, and dedicated columns. QRDE defines distance education as institutionally based formal education where the learning group is separated, and interactive technologies are employed to connect them. Drs. Anymir Orellana and Michael Simonson serve as the current Co-Editors in Chief, joined by Dr. Vanaja Nethi as Associate Editor. All three are professors with the Fischler College of Education and School of Criminal Justice at Nova Southeastern University.
