JRIT&L publishes research on emerging trends, such as: the growth of the working adult learners (WALs) (24-49 and older) age group and the need for a college educated workforce; the diversification of educational providers (public, private, non-profit, for-profit and its downward trend), big data, data analytics, and the combination of administrative and academic data to predict student success and organizational intervention; emerging modalities and optimization; changing regulation and accreditation accountability; and the high cost of education, with the propensity toward tuition differential to reflect labour market reality.

JRIT&L highly encourages research from an interdisciplinary perspective in the fields of cognitive psychology and neuroscience, and their role in learning. Social science perspectives, including philosophy, anthropology, economics, history, law, management, political science, sociology, and international and comparative education research are invited.

JRIT&L publishes high-quality research that uses the appropriate methodological approach to answer the research question. Literature review, theory building, ethnographic account, quantitative and qualitative analysis, mixed methods, and formal econometric modelling are appropriate for JRIT&L.
