“…Although Hazel Lawson (who recently took over the editorship of the research section) has extended the number of articles in each edition of the journal, one of her greatest challenges must be to persuade readers that their own research embedded in their day‐to‐day practice is, in fact, practical theorising, and that the results are important enough to be written up and shared with others. Many practitioners are writing in the now well‐established ‘Focus on Practice’ section in the main body of the journal, a point highlighted and favourably commented upon in the 1998 findings of a two‐year funded research project which focused on key issues in academic publishing ( BJSE was the only special educational needs peer‐reviewed journal to be selected to take part in the survey) (Packwood, Scanlon & Weiner, 1998).…”

Christina Tilstone was, for many years, the editor of BJSE and subsequently became the chair of the Editorial Board for the nasen journals. She is therefore in an excellent position to reflect upon the contribution the journal has made to the field over the past 35 years. In this article, she traces the origins of the journal back over 100 years. She notes the launch of BJSE's ancestor, Special Education: Forward Trends, and shares the contents of the issue of this journal that marked the publication of Mary Warnock's seminal report in 1978 and the development of the notion of inclusion. She goes on to describe the metamorphosis of Special Education: Forward Trends into BJSE in 1985 and soon after that, in 1992, the formation of nasen -still BJSE's sponsoring organisation. Christina Tilstone records the origins of BJSE's valued 'Research Section', now building a substantial archive of educational research papers, and the popular 'Focus on Practice' feature that enables practitioners to share reports of their work. She also notes the role that BJSE's other regular features, 'Book Reviews', 'Politics Page UK' and 'Notes from the SENCo-Forum' (itself now ten years old) have played in the journal's recent national and international success.

“…An earlier study by Smith and Gough (1984) in the USA collected the views of a small sample of editors, but focused solely on the practices of refereeing. A more extensive study on publishing was conducted in 1996, with ESRC funding, by Packwood et al (1997). This included some consideration of editorial practices, while also examining writing practices and the content of journals, and provided a useful stimulus to this study.…”
