» Profile of the Journal
ZeHf – Zeitschrift für empirische Hochschulforschung (literally: Journal for Empirical Research in Higher Education) is an interdisciplinary journal with a focus on empirical academical research.

The aim of the journal is to highlight the growth and expansion of German higher education and science research observed in recent years, which has contributed to a wide range of findings and significant progress in the development of theory, methods, and indicators, and to further promote these developments.

In light of the significant increase in the number of young researchers, ZeHf provides a relevant publication platform that is consulted by researchers as well as stakeholders in higher education policy and practice.

ZeHf invites papers from all academic fields related to higher education research (e.g., psychology, social, and educational sciences). It is open to different theoretical approaches and different methodologies. However, contributions are expected to be based on empirical data (whether original or from secondary analyses) and may be directed at different units or levels of examination (e.g., students, teachers, faculties, administrations, or academic systems). Manuscripts written in German as well as in English are appreciated.
