Peer Review Process

Peer Review Process

The articles should be original, unpublished, and not in consideration for publication elsewhere at the time of submission to the International Journal on Studies in  Education (IJonSE) and during the review process. 

The IJonSE is a refereed journal and has a double-blind review. Any manuscript submitted for consideration in publication in the regular or special issue of the IJonSE is reviewed by at least two international reviewers with expertise in the relevant subject area. 

The reviewers of a submission are independent of the authors and not affiliated with the same institution. The reviewers are assigned based on the submission topic and selected from international authors who have significant works on the submission.

The journal requires that no more than two thirds of the authors published in the journal are from the same institution. The journal values submissions from different countries. 

Please consider that editor and reviewers invest significant time in the submission. Thus, the submission cannot be withdrawn without the approval of the editorial office during the review, the revision, the production after acceptance or publication process.

The submission is first reviewed by the editorial board. This initial review is completed in two weeks. If the submission passes the initial review, then the blind review takes about 6 months.

The final author versions of the papers should be proofread in terms of language and APA style. If any paper does not meet the language and/or APA style standards at any level of review or publication process, then it will be rejected.
