Abstract: The mission of the Journal of Higher Education Outreach and Engagement (JHEOE) is to serve as the premier peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary journal to advance theory and practice related to all forms of outreach and engagement between higher education institutions and communities. This includes highlighting innovative endeavours; critically examining emerging issues, trends, challenges, and opportunities; and reporting on studies of impact in the areas of public service, outreach, engagement, extension, engaged research, community-based research, community-based participatory research, action research, public scholarship, service-learning, and community service. The JHEOE invites manuscripts in five categories: • Research Articles: quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-method studies that demonstrate the long-term impact of a university-community engagement project on the community, students, faculty and staff, or the institution. • Reflective Essays: thought provoking examinations of current issues related to university-community engagement that are anchored in the literature. • Projects with Promise: descriptions or early-stage university-community engagement projects with early indications of impact; plan for long-term evaluation; plan for how the project will be sustained; and best practices for the reader to emulate. • Book Reviews: reviews of books related to university-community engagement that go beyond mere description of the contents to analyse and glean implications for theory and practice. • Dissertation Overviews: dissertation summaries of method used to examine topics related to university-community engagement. The Guiding Principles of the JHEOE include high expectations for rigorous scholarship and clarity of presentation.

Abstract: Research for All is an open access, peer-reviewed journal focusing on research that involves universities and communities, services or industries working together. Contributors and readers are from both inside and outside of higher education. They include researchers, policymakers, managers, practitioners, community-based organizations, schools, businesses and the intermediaries who bring these people together. The journal aims to raise the quality of engaged research by stimulating discussion about the effectiveness of engagement with researchers, research outcomes and processes. The journal highlights the potential in active public engagement for robust academic study, for the development of involved communities, and for the impact of research. It explores engagement with different groups and their cultures, and features theoretical and empirical analysis alongside authoritative commentary to explore a range of themes that are key to engaged research including the development of reciprocal relationships, sector-specific communication and participatory action research. The journal is co-sponsored by the UCL Institute of Education and the National Co-ordinating Centre for Public Engagement.

Abstract: The RETHINK project aspires to rethink science communication, both its theory and practice, to accommodate the major challenges to the individual and collective process of making sense about science. A guiding principle of RETHINK is that the contextual knowledge of citizens across the EU should play a vital role in shaping future scientific and technological developments and the sharing of this knowledge should be facilitated. The overall objective of RETHINK is to contribute to making the European science communication ecosystem more open, inclusive, reflexive and adaptive. The project’s aim is to improve the quality of interactions between science and society by providing concrete recommendations and training resources for nurturing open and reflexive science-society interfaces. The RETHINK project brings together six partners as well as four linked third parties from ten European countries, integrating scholarly and practical expertise, experimentation and good practices of new approaches in communication science. It brings together organisations ranging from academia to science centres, from media to technology assessment and a Europe Sounding Board that league very different backgrounds and areas of expertise. RETHINK has established seven hubs, called Rethinkerspaces, which will generate a thorough and widespread overview of the national science communication landscape and act as testbeds and validation mechanism. Such Rethinkerspaces have been established in universities and science engagement organisations from seven European countries that together present a wide range of the European science communication landscape.

Abstract: The mission of this journal is to explore constructive connections between science education and civic engagement that will enhance both experiences for students. In the 21st century, mathematical and scientific reasoning is an essential element for full participation in a democratic society. Contributions to this journal will focus on using unsolved, complex civic issues as a framework to develop students’ understanding of the role of scientific knowledge in personal and public decision-making, along with examining how such knowledge is embedded in a broader social and political context. Since many pressing issues are not constrained by national borders, the journal encourages perspectives that are international or global in scope. In addition to examining what students learn, it will also explore how this learning takes place and how it can be evaluated, documented, and strengthened. By exploring civic questions as unsolved challenges, the journal seeks to empower students as engaged participants in their learning on campus and as citizens in their communities.
