Publications and Dissemination

Abstract

The International Association for Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA) has been a major source of scholarship and publication in international large-scale assessment from its early days in the 1960s until the present. This publication activity is grounded on IEA’s large-scale assessment projects. IEA publications can be grouped in terms of: core project publications; project-related publications, including the IEA Research for Education series; the academic journal, Large-scale Assessments in Education; international research conference materials; and its occasional policy brief series IEA Compass: Briefs in Education. All IEA publications are open access to ensure the widest possible dissemination. Quality assurance is built into project activity, in keeping with IEA’s focus on reliability and validity. A further level of independent scrutiny is provided by the Publications and Editorial Committee, whose remit is to ensure that all publications meet the highest standards of research and scholarship. IEA’s extensive communications and dissemination activity serves both to take study findings to diverse audiences and to expose them to a further level of peer and public scrutiny.
