In September 2004 the Queensland Journal of Educational Research merged with Issues in Educational Research. A full archive is now in development, to recognise and preserve the substantial contribution that QJER made to scholarly publishing of educational research in Australia, from its inception in 1985 until its final volume in 2003. The notes below are a part of the archival record for Volume 18 and are not current advice about QJER or its publisher, QIER. For current advice please see [IIER Home]

THE QUEENSLAND INSTITUTE FOR EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH The Queensland Institute for Educational Research was established in 1930 to promote the cause of research in education, conduct programs of educational research, and co-operate with the Australian Council for Educational Research. The objectives are: to promote as far as possible, in co-operation with existing institutions, the cause of research in education; to draw up programs of educational research to be undertaken by the Institute; to hold regular meetings for the purpose of promoting discussion on educational topics; from time to time to convene lectures on educational matters to which non-members may be invited; to issue, periodically, information of educational interest; and to act in close co-operation with the Australian Council for Educational Research. The Institute provides a representative to the State Institutes' Standing Committee of the Australian Council For Educational Research.
