2. Author Guidelines and Instructions
Manuscript details
International Journal of Educational Studies publishes theoretical, empirical, and methodological articles on different aspects of Education and related disciplines.
Manuscripts should be concisely written in simple, unambiguous language, using bias-free language. Present material in a logical order, starting with a statement of purpose and progressing through an analysis of evidence to conclusions and implications. The conclusions should be clearly related to the evidence presented.
Manuscript title
The manuscript title should be accurate, fully explanatory, and preferably no longer than 12 words.
Abstract
Manuscripts must be accompanied by an abstract of not more than 250 words. The abstract should clearly and concisely describe the purpose, area of study, hypotheses or research questions, research participants, and procedure as well as concise summary of key research findings.
All results described in the abstract should accurately reflect findings reported in the body of the paper and should not characterize findings in stronger terms than the article.
Provide five keywords as an aid to indexing.
Submission Guidelines
Authors are expected to adhere to the following submission guidelines as failure to do so may lead to rejection of the article:
1. The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
2. The submission file is in Open Office, Microsoft Word, or RTF document file format.
3. Where available, URLs for the references have been provided.
4. The text is single-spaced; uses a 12-point font; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.
5. The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines.
3. Peer-review Process and Policies
This journal has adopted a policy of masked review for all submissions. The cover letter should include all authors' names and institutional affiliations. Author notes providing this information should also appear at the bottom of the title page only, which will be removed before the manuscript is sent for masked review. Make every effort to ensure that the manuscript itself does not contain clues to the authors' identity. The peer-review process is electronically managed. Reviewed manuscripts are further subjected to plagiarism checks to reduce similarity index. Manuscripts with high similarity indices may be rejected. The importance of the review process underscores the need for the article to contribute to the existing body of knowledge for the advancement of teaching and learning.
