Research for All is an interdisciplinary journal that focuses on research involving universities and communities, services or industries working together. It features theoretical and empirical analysis alongside authoritative commentary to explore a range of themes that are key to engaged research. As a collaboration between UCL and the National Co-ordinating Centre for Public Engagement, with associate editors that are academics and professionals working in a wide range of fields, it highlights the potential in active public engagement for robust academic study, the development of involved communities and the impact of research. As such, it is a journal for everyone involved in engaged research.
Here are some highlights in the eighth edition of Research for All, released today:
We are excited to welcome Research for All to UCL Press and look forward to increasing awareness of the journal to a broader audience. Research for All is an exemplary forum for providing peer-reviewed, open access works that directly involve people outside the typical research community, which will make the impact of scientific questioning that much greater.

Learn about LRE
Covering key themes across the education field and more, LRE is a wide-ranging journal that features significant analyses and research studies that are interdisciplinary and diverse. LRE publishes work pertaining to curriculum, educational improvement, equalities and human rights, institutional effectiveness, and more! LRE particularly strives to feature works that provide helpful connections between research, policy and practice. As an open access journal with no article processing fees, LRE is available to all as a valuable source on education topics. LRE’s integration onto ScienceOpen will further increase the reach of LRE’s content.
Dive into the new LRE issue!
Issues of LRE often include a special feature, and the following articles are two of five contributions in the 18(2) special feature on artificial intelligence (AI) and the human in education. In ‘Digital literacies’ by Kucirkova and Mackey, the authors observe how personalized books enhanced with AI can affect children and reduce a child’s sense of individual agency. Taking a much wider perspective, Saltman considers how the development of for-profit artificial intelligence (AI) technologies fosters the privatization of public education and erodes the values and practices of democratic education.
Whether or not they have a special feature, all issues of LRE include general articles, and the breadth of subjects covered in 18(2) is typical for the journal. Amongst other issues, the articles investigate:
We are delighted to announce that 'Refuge in a Moving World - Tracing Refugee and Migrant Journeys Across Disciplines', edited by Refugee Hosts and Southern Responses to Displacement Principal Investigator Prof. Elena Fiddian-Qasmiyeh, has now been published. Click on the image below to access your free PDF copy of the volume.
'Refuge in a Moving World: Tracing Refugee and Migrant Journeys Across Disciplines' is an outcome of the Refuge in a Moving World network, an initiative of the UCL Institute of Advanced Studies (IAS). The volume draws together more than thirty contributions from multiple disciplines and fields of research and practice to discuss different ways of engaging with, and responding to, migration and displacement.
You can access the table of contents here.
The volume combines critical reflections on the complexities of conceptualizing processes and experiences of (forced) migration, with detailed analyses of these experiences in contemporary and historical settings from around the world. Through interdisciplinary approaches and methodologies – including participatory research, poetic and spatial interventions, ethnography, theatre, discourse analysis and visual methods – the volume documents the complexities of refugees’ and migrants’ journeys. This includes a particular focus on how people inhabit and negotiate everyday life in cities, towns, camps and informal settlements across the Middle East and North Africa, Southern and Eastern Africa, and Europe.
A key dynamic documented throughout the book is the multiple ways that responses to displacement are enacted by people with personal or family experiences of (forced) migration. These people appear in many roles: researchers, writers and artists, teachers, solidarians, first responders, NGO practitioners, neighbours and/or friends. Through the application of historically and spatially sensitive, intersectional and interdisciplinary lenses, the book traces the ways that different people – across axes of religion, sexuality, gender and age – experience and respond to their own situations and to those of other people, in the context of diverse power structures and structural inequalities on the local, national and international level.
Ultimately, Refuge in a Moving World argues that working collaboratively through interdisciplinary approaches and methodologies has the potential to develop nuanced understandings of processes of migration and displacement, and, in turn, to encourage more sustainable modes of responding to our moving world.
