Peer Review Procces

All manuscripts submitted to the International Journal of Education and Learning (IJEL) undergo a rigorous double-blind peer review process to ensure the quality, originality, and academic integrity of published articles.

1. Initial Screening

Upon submission, each manuscript is first reviewed by the editorial team to assess:

  • Relevance to the journal’s scope

  • Compliance with author guidelines

  • Originality and academic quality

  • Plagiarism check using reliable detection tools

Manuscripts that do not meet the journal’s basic requirements may be rejected at this stage.

2. Double-Blind Peer Review

Manuscripts that pass the initial screening are then sent to at least two independent reviewers with expertise relevant to the subject matter. Both the reviewers and authors remain anonymous during this process to ensure impartiality.

Reviewers evaluate the manuscript based on:

  • The clarity and coherence of the research problem

  • Methodological rigor and appropriateness

  • Significance and originality of the findings

  • Logical structure and clarity of writing

  • Contribution to the field of education

3. Review Outcomes

Based on the reviewers’ evaluations, the manuscript will receive one of the following decisions:

  • Accept (with or without minor revisions)

  • Revise and Resubmit (major revisions required)

  • Reject

Authors will receive detailed feedback and recommendations from the reviewers, which should be addressed in any revised submission.

4. Revision and Final Decision

Revised manuscripts are re-evaluated either by the original reviewers or the editorial team. The final decision on publication is made by the Editor-in-Chief based on the reviewers' recommendations and the quality of the revisions.

5. Copyediting and Publication

Accepted manuscripts undergo professional copyediting and formatting before being published online. The final version is made available under an open-access license.

This transparent and constructive peer review process is designed to maintain academic excellence and foster the development of high-impact educational research.
