Studies of Quality Assurance in Education (SQAE), scheduled to launch its publishing life in 2026, is now officially accepting article submissions for its inaugural and subsequent issues. As a peer-reviewed, international journal dedicated to advancing scholarly knowledge on educational quality and accreditation, SQAE is published under the auspices of the Association for Evaluation and Accreditation of Teacher Education Programs (EPDAD). The journal aims to provide a high-caliber platform for scholarly dialogue, innovative research, and evidence-based practices that contribute to excellence and sustainable development in education. SQAE is published biannually, in June and December, and its official language of publication is English; however, an extended Turkish abstract is required for all accepted manuscripts. Special issues may also be published on high-priority topics as needed. The themes of these special issues are specifically curated to support scholarship focusing on contemporary debates, emerging developments, evolving needs, and institutional expectations, thereby guiding both practice and policymaking.

SQAE welcomes theoretical, empirical, methodological, and review studies that advance knowledge and practice related to quality assurance, accreditation, and continuous improvement in education. Topics of interest include:

• Quality assurance and accreditation in higher education
• Quality assurance and accreditation in teacher education
• Educational standards, quality culture, and institutional effectiveness
• Theoretical and practical frameworks for quality enhancement
• Policy, governance, and leadership in educational evaluation
• Stakeholder perspectives on quality and accreditation processes
• Challenges and practices across all educational levels through a quality-oriented lens
• Professional development for educational improvement and capacity building
• Evaluation, assessment, and quality monitoring systems
• Student-centred quality assurance and student engagement
• Evidence-based decision-making and institutional effectiveness
• Digital transformation and emerging technologies in educational evaluation

Our vision is to establish a prestigious, high-impact, and long-standing academic journal.
