The Center’s flagship publication, International Higher Education, is published quarterly and features news and analysis concerning higher education around the world. Its articles cover a wide range of issues of interest to scholars, policy makers and practitioners. The publication seeks to feature countries that do not receive a lot of attention in the research literature, and issues that have salience to current global debates. IHE is translated in Chinese and Russian editions. As part of an ongoing partnership with the Shanghai Jiao Tong University, assumes responsibility for the Chinese translation. The Independent Kazakhstan Quality Assurance Agency in Education is responsible for the Russian translated edition of IHE. In addition, it is published in English by the Deutsche Universitatszeitung for distribution in the German-speaking countries. The Center’s books include studies of global policy trends, the development of research universities, the academic profession in developing and middle income countries, developments in Asian universities, private higher education in global perspective, and several others. The Center also hosts a website at www.bc.edu/cihe that is a virtual library containing articles, books, podcasts, and links to online databases, international organizations, and scholars addressing key issues in international higher education. The website includes a complete archive of past issues of International Higher Education. The special concerns of developing countries are of special interest—themes such as transnational higher education, international students and scholars, global trade in educational services, higher education reform, and others. The International Network on Higher Education in Africa has been a special initiative in recent years. INHEA focuses on African higher education issues and provides information and analysis from many sources. Additional Center foci include the Corruption Monitor, which highlights incidents of academic corruption in its many forms and seeks to provide analysis of trends.
