About the Journal

Advances in Inclusive Education Research (AIER) is an independent, peer-reviewed, open-access academic journal founded to promote and disseminate high-quality research in the field of inclusive education. AIER is committed to bridging the gap between research and practice, supporting educators, researchers, and policymakers worldwide.

Our Mission

AIER provides a rigorous platform for innovative research in pedagogy across all educational contexts and disciplines, with a particular focus on inclusive practices that support all learners. Launched in Spring 2026, AIER is a peer-reviewed, open-access, UK-based journal. Editor-in-Chief: Dr.-Ing. Siva pr Muppala

  • Inclusive pedagogical practices across all educational levels
  • AI and technology in education
  • Sustainability education and green pedagogy
  • Engineering education and STEM inclusion
  • Special educational needs and disabilities
  • Multiple intelligences and differentiated learning
  • Curriculum design and instructional innovation
  • Teacher education and professional development
  • Educational policy and leadership for inclusion
  • Culturally responsive and equitable teaching
  • Accessibility and universal design for learning

Why AIER Was Founded?

Most education journals are US-based and difficult for UK researchers to access. Many charge prohibitively high article processing charges, and very few address inclusive pedagogy across disciplines — particularly STEM and engineering education.

AIER was founded to fill that gap. As an accessible, UK-based, open-access platform, AIER makes high-quality research freely available to researchers, practitioners, teachers, and policymakers worldwide — without financial barriers.

We believe that knowledge should be shared openly, and that inclusive education research should itself be inclusive and accessible to all.
