Higher Education Research and Development (HERD) is a refereed international journal, established in 1982 as the principal learned journal of the Higher Education Research and Development Society of Australasia.

Higher Education Research and Development aims to serve the needs of teachers, researchers, students, administrators and those concerned with the present and future of higher education. The journal publishes research-based articles on the theory and practice of higher education. This includes comparative reviews and critically reflective case studies, as well as empirically-based papers. All articles are appropriately framed for an international audience, and are designed to lead to critical insights into the area being addressed.

All research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and review by at least two internationally recognised peers.
