The Comparative Education Review bibliography compiles articles from a diverse selection of journals on a broad range of themes and subject areas that are of particular interest to CER readers. In particular, the CER bibliography helps to broaden the field of pertinent articles that may be overlooked when doing a simple search. The journals included are not exclusive to the general field of education, nor are they confined to those journals that characteristically represent the field of comparative and international education.

Under the current editorship, the CER will publish annually an essay that highlights the various trends and developments that occurred in the field during the previous year. Under previous editorships, the policy of the bibliography has been to exclude short introductions, essay reviews, abstracts, and articles written in a language other than English. It also excluded those
