About the Journal

The Journal of Agricultural Education (JAE) stands as the premier, refereed publication for scholarly inquiry in agricultural education, serving as the official journal of the American Association for Agricultural Education (AAAE). Its central mission is to disseminate high-quality, impactful research that informs and enhances practice across the full spectrum of the discipline.

Recognizing that agricultural education is a multifaceted field, the journal embraces a broad scope. We welcome submissions that explore agricultural communications, leadership development, extension education, school-based agricultural instruction, teacher preparation, and the scholarship of teaching and learning.  JAE publishes a range of scholarly works, including empirical studies, theoretical and conceptual articles, and critical literature reviews, all of which aim to advance knowledge and professional practice. We invite you to review the journal's Aim and Scope statement for more information.

To uphold the highest standards of scholarly integrity and ensure that every published work makes a significant contribution to the field, all manuscripts undergo a rigorous double-blind peer-review process, which provides authors with constructive, anonymous feedback from experts in their respective areas of study.

The Journal of Agricultural Education is part of the Public Knowledge Project and uses the Open Journal System. All published articles are archived through the Public Knowledge Project System.
