The five articles shortlisted for HERD Article of the Year

The Executive of HERDSA created a new award beginning in 2019. This award, the Higher Education Research & Development (HERD) Article of the Year is sponsored by Taylor & Francis, the publisher of HERD. It acknowledges the best article published in HERD v.37 (2018) as assessed by a panel selected by the Executive.

Five articles were shortlisted from a total of 105 articles published in the journal in 2018. All five shortlisted papers were judged to provide significant critical and/or analytical insights to the field of higher education, and were characterised by thorough literature reviews, sound methodology, persuasive, succinct, and coherent arguments, and were moreover, highly engaging. Hence, the judges had a particularly difficult task in deciding on the winner.

Taylor and Francis have made the best article freely accessible. The articles shortlisted for the Award will also be freely accessible for three months. The shortlisted papers are:

With the winning paper being, as previously annouced:
