The first issue of JSIE appeared in the spring of 1997 and was published by CIEE on the occasion of its 50th anniversary and in a cooperative agreement with the EAIE. The purpose of the journal was described as follows: "To attract and publish quality research and commentary to increase our knowledge and advance the field" and "to encourage greater research of the field" (Trooboff, 1997, p. vi). The editor in chief of the first volume, Karen Jenkins (1997, p. viii), mentioned four goals: stimulate and encourage scholarly research, affect the design, monitoring, and evaluation of programs, influence policy makers, and broaden the discourse within the profession. After the first volume, the emphasis has become more focused on the first and the last goal and less directly focused on the two other goals.Before becoming the editor of the journal as of Volume 2, I was chair of the first Editorial Board. In my contribution to the first issue, "Studies in International Education: A Research Perspective" (De Wit, 1997), I wrote that the start of the journal was a marking point, "both for its scholarly and global perspective, and its ability to position the study in international education in a specific place and platform within the broader field of educational research" (p. 1). At that time, as I stated, there was a lack of a strong research tradition on internationalization of (higher) education and, as such, a lack of academic recognition in the field of educational science, marginalized under confusing terms in the area of comparative and international education research. To move out of this marginal situation, the study of international education should move from its present, more descriptive phase, to a more analytical approach. In addition to description of activities, projects and programs of institutions, countries, and regions, studies on the concepts and process of internationalization of education have to be developed.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
