APERA publications serve to disseminate major research efforts in key areas of education, and contribute to knowledge advancement and evidenced-based policymaking in the Region. Examples of publications are:

• Educational Research for Policy and Practice
  Educational Research for Policy and Practice (ERPP) is the official journal of the Asia-Pacific Educational Research Association (Editor-in-Chief: Professor Colin Power).  ERPP aims to improve education and educational research in Asia and the Pacific by promoting the dissemination of high quality research which addresses key issues in educational policy and practice. The journal is an international, professionally refereed journal targeted at education professionals with an interest in the ways in which educational research can inform, and be informed by, educational decision making and practice in the Asia-Pacific region.

  Young researchers (that is, under 35 years) submitting manuscripts to ERPP may be selected for the prestigious APERA-ERPP Award, established at the instigation of Professor Colin Power, for the best article submitted each year by a young researcher for publication in ERPP (Educational Research for Policy and Practice).

  The Award will comprise a certificate and $AUD 500 for researchers coming from a developing country in the Asia-Pacific region, and/or a certificate and $AUD 200 for researchers from a developed country. Submissions to ERPP will be judged by a panel from the APERA Executive and the ERPP Editorial Board in terms of the quality of the research and the level of potential impact on educational policy and practice. ERPP welcomes manuscripts on both quantitative and qualitative research studies, focussing either on system-wide reforms and policymaking, or on specific educational issues facing teachers and learners in the Asia-Pacific region.
