Millî Egitim Journal employs a Double-Blind Peer Review system. Throughout the evaluation process, neither the authors nor the reviewers are aware of each other’s identities. The identities of reviewers who decline an invitation to review are also kept strictly confidential.

Authors are not permitted to suggest reviewers or submit reviewer recommendations. Reviewer selection is conducted exclusively by the Editorial Office, based on editorial independence, scholarly suitability, and subject-matter expertise.

In accordance with the principle of “blind peer review,” no direct communication is allowed between authors and reviewers; all correspondence is carried out through the DergiPark platform by the Editorial Office.

During the manuscript evaluation process:
• Each manuscript is reviewed by at least two reviewers,
• Reviewers are given 7 days to accept or decline the invitation, 15 days for the review itself, plus an additional 15 days if needed,
• If a reviewer considers the manuscript outside their area of expertise, they are obliged to decline the review invitation,
• If a reviewer identifies any potential conflict of interest—such as personal acquaintance, advisor-advisee relationship, or academic/ professional competition—they must immediately inform the editor and withdraw from the review process,
• Reviewer reports must be evidence-based, objective, and constructive,
• Reviewers must maintain strict confidentiality regarding all information obtained through the review; manuscript content or data may not be shared with third parties.

Based on reviewer reports:
• Two positive reports → The review process proceeds
• Two negative reports → The manuscript is rejected
• Conflicting reports → The manuscript may be sent to a third reviewer, or the editor may exercise discretion based on the existing reports
• Reviewers may recommend: acceptance, rejection, minor revisions, major revisions, or re-review after revision

The entire evaluation process is conducted in accordance with the principles of impartiality, confidentiality, and editorial independence.
