This paper analyses the contents of the first thirty years of the Journal of Higher Education Policy and Management and its predecessor, the Journal of Tertiary Education Administration. The paper examines the papers published between 1979 and 2008 according to their authorship, country of origin and broad content, noting changes over time. In the broadest of terms, the proportion of papers written by academic staff and by women has increased, as has the proportion of papers from sources other than Australia and New Zealand.

This paper reviews the fourth decade of the Journal of Higher Education Policy and Management, including author analyses and thematic insights from articles published from 2009 to 2018. In addition to an increase in the number of articles published, the Journal now publishes more articles by authors from outside Australia, female authors and co-authored articles. Institutional management and leadership is the most common theme, responsible for just over one quarter of articles. By methodology and level of analysis, roughly half of all articles utilise survey or multivariate approaches and target national-level insights. Due to the practical orientation of the journal, many articles integrate management, leadership and policy with other common higher education themes, such as student experience and quality assurance.
