Features section

Our features are written by academics and university staff and also by our in-house team of specialist reporters. We look for lively essays about higher education and academic life. If you have an idea for a feature, please email a short summary (up to 200 words) of your proposal to THE.Submissions@timeshighereducation.com . We will also consider completed articles.?

The length of each feature is decided by the features editor. However, as a rough guide, our features are usually 1,500-2,500 words.

Opinion articles set out a concise argument on a topical issue related to higher education or academic life.

Blogs

We run a blogs section?that carries 500- to 800-word articles. We are not prescriptive about topics and themes, although blogs must have some connection to higher education. You can email suggestions to? THE.Submissions@timeshighereducation.com .

Times Higher Education pays authors for work published in the magazine, but not for blogs.

Please note that we are a news magazine, not an academic journal. Opinion articles and features for the publication are written in a fairly informal style ? and we do not publish footnotes.
