If you submit your manuscript online, you will receive a “Submission Acknowledgement” email sent automatically by the online submission system. If you fail to receive this confirmation, your submission/e-mail may be missed. Please contact the editorial assistants in time.

The editor or editorial assistant determines whether a manuscript fits the journal’s aim and scope. Then, the manuscript is checked for its similarity index by CrossCheck, powered by iThenticate.

Since 2017, “IEJES” uses the iThenticate screening service to verify the authenticity of content submitted before publication. The iThenticate software checks submissions against millions of published research papers, documents on the web and other relevant sources. Authors can also use iThenticate to screen their work before submission by visiting http://www.ithenticate.com

The overall similarity index for submitted manuscript should be less than 20%. This journal has used iThenticate (Plagiarism Detection Software).

We use double-blind system for peer-review. Both reviewers and authors’ identities remain anonymous. A manuscript will be peer-reviewed by at least three experts: one editorial staff and two external reviewers. The review process may take 4-6 weeks.

The decision to accept or reject a manuscript is based on suggestions of reviewers. If differences of opinion occur between reviewers, the editor-in-chief will weigh all comments and arrive at a balanced decision based on all comments, or a second round of peer review may be initiated.

International E-journal of Educational Studies (IEJES) publishes a list of reviewers at least once a year and these reviewers require to sign a non-conflict of interest statement. Names of the reviewers of the individual issues of journal issues are not disclosed. The journal invites at least two independent reviewers to each article. Reviewers evaluate the article according to publicly provided criteria for qualification or rejection of scientific articles and provide a written review, with a clear request for admission of a scientific article for publication. A review form is published at the end of the process. Anonymity and structured form of published scientific reviews are important for us.
