Tuning Journal for Higher Education (TJHE), Tuning Journal in short, is an international
peer-reviewed journal publishing in English original research studies and reviews in
all aspects of competence-based, student-centred, and outcome-oriented education
reforms at university level across the globe. It is a joint initiative of the University of
Deusto (Spain) and the University of Groningen (The Netherlands) that is run by the
Tuning International Academy (http://tuningacademy.org/): an international meeting
point for fostering innovative teaching, learning, and research in higher education.
The main goal of the Journal is to promote quality research into the ‘Tuning Methodology’
for designing, implementing, and assessing context-sensitive degree programmes
and to subject the tools developed during Tuning projects and other educational
projects to full academic scrutiny and debate among students, teachers, policy makers,
administrators, and academics across societies, cultures, professions, and academic
disciplines. To this end, the Journal invites applications for thematic issues, conference
proceedings or monographs from all stakeholders. Guidelines for the preparation and
submission of manuscripts are appended to this Issue and available at the web of the
Journal: http://www.tuningjournal.org/
Publication Frequency and Format
Tuning Journal is published electronically and in print version twice a year (May/ November).
Its frst issue appeared in November 2013.
