Dr. Krishna Bista, assistant professor of education in the University of Louisiana
at Monroe’s School of Education, has published the 2014 edition of the “Journal of
International Students”— a print and online peer-reviewed publication on international
higher education, with a focus on international student affairs.
Bista is the founder and editor-in-chief of the publication. Currently, there are
85 professors and doctoral students from universities around the world serving on
the journal’s editorial board as reviewers, associate editors, and copy editors.
Bista says, “The goal of the journal is to feature narrative, theoretical and empirically-based
research articles, study abroad experience/reflections of student and faculty, and
book reviews relevant to international students and their cross-cultural experiences
and understanding in higher education.”
Along with Bista, Drs. Amy Dagley and Kioh Kim from the ULM School of Education, serve
on the journal’s Board of Directors.
Dr. Milton D. Cox, professor at Miami University, and editor-in-chief of the “Journal
on Excellence in College Teaching” says, “As an editor-in-chief myself, I know all
the opportunities and challenges that such a role presents. Congratulations on the
production of a lively, timely, and interesting journal. I am pleased that the journal
is addressing the needs of a higher education that is increasingly global.”
The journal publishes quarterly and its articles are indexed with major databases
such as ProQuest, EBSCOhost, OCLC/WorldCat, the Australian Council for Educational
Research, and Cabell’s Directory of Journal.
Dr. Catherine Montgomery, professor at the University of Hull and the author of “Understanding
the International Student Experience,” said “The variety of contributions and contributors
to the journal is impressive and confirms that both academics and students have actively
and creatively engaged with it.”
The journal audience includes international and domestic students, faculty, administrators,
and educators engaged in research and practice in international students in colleges
and universities. All digital articles published in the journal are available free
of cost.
