A Tale of Three Journals: A Study of Papers Published in AJOE, JAEOL and JEE Between 1998 and 2007 (REFEREED Papers) (Report‪)‬

Introduction This paper provides an analysis of the refereed publications in three scholarly journals in the related fields of outdoor education, adventure education, and experiential education. The three journals are the Australian Journal of Outdoor Education (AJOE), the Journal of Adventure Education and Outdoor Learning (JAEOL), and the Journal of Experiential Education (JEE). We analyse the refereed publications published in each journal between 1998 and 2007, 343 papers in total, before concluding with a section reflecting on the similarities, differences and future challenges for the three journals. This choice to analyse papers published between 1998 to 2007 was pragmatic because AJOE and JAEOL have only published refereed papers since 1998 and 2000 respectively whereas the JEE has published refereed papers since 1978.
