The mission of the IJOGE is to advance knowledge of issues and inform best practices related to international online graduate education.

To achieve this mission, much of the journal is devoted to the publication of original empirical and applied research, innovative research studies, and conceptual/theoretical papers grounded in research. Integrative literature reviews that help bridge the gap between basic science and practice are also welcome.

The journal is an online, open access journal that utilizes a double-blind peer-review process to ensure that the selection process is independent and solely merit-based, with the objective of identifying the best research in the field. The aim is to feature outstanding scholarly contributions from researchers around the world in various disciplines.
