Routledge Open Research is an open research publishing platform dedicated to scholars across the Arts, Humanities, Behavioral and Social Sciences.

We offer authors a rapid and streamlined publishing experience, increasing the visibility, reach, and credibility of their research. Our platform allows authors to publish both traditional Research Articles and non-traditional outputs, such as Policy Briefs, Case Studies, and Brief Reports, reducing research waste and providing credit for all findings.

Cogent Education has an Impact Factor of 1.6 and a CiteScore of 2.2 (2022). All submissions are subject to initial editorial screening and if judged to be suitable, are then sent for double blind anonymous peer review.
