* The Journal of Latinos and Education (JLE) is published quarterly in January, April, July, and October for a total of 4 issues per year and provides a cross-, multi-, and interdisciplinary forum for scholars and writers from diverse disciplines who share a common interest in the analysis, discussion, critique, and dissemination of educational issues that impact Latinos.
Book and Media Reviews are summaries and evaluations of books, periodicals, articles, websites, software, CD-ROMs, teaching material, textbooks, videotapes, film, art, music, and other media. Suggested manuscript length is 2 to 3 pages. If there is another book or media, not on our list, that you have reviewed and not already published elsewhere, we invite you to submit your evaluation/review for publication in the JLE - must be current.
We are happy to report that the JLE is ranked among top journals worldwide (tier 1)! The SCImago Journal Rank (SJR indicator) is a measure of scientific influence of scholarly journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from. Among 20,544 journals, the JLE ranks 79 (in the Cultural Studies category) and ranks 380 (in the Education category).
Thank you - Gracias, EM
