Review Process

The International Journal for Research in Education pursues a structured and rigorous review process for all submissions. Once a manuscript is submitted online, the Editor-in-Chief and/or Associate Editor(s) conduct an initial screening. Manuscripts that do not align with the journal’s scholarly quality or aims and scope may be returned to the author(s) within two weeks of submission.

If a submission is deemed suitable, the Associate Editor initiates the peer-review process by selecting two independent expert reviewers in the field. The journal follows a double-blind review process, in which the identities of both authors and reviewers are concealed.

Reviewers are asked to evaluate the manuscript’s quality, significance, originality, and contribution to the field of education. The review process typically takes around one month, although this may vary depending on reviewer availability.

Upon receiving the full reviews, the Associate Editor composes a decision letter summarizing reviewer feedback and recommendations. This decision letter is then reviewed and approved by the Editor-in-Chief before being shared with the author(s). The Editor-in-Chief’s decision is final.
