Article Submission Guide
When submitting an article to the Journal of National Education, please ensure compliance with the following guidelines:
1. Authors must ensure that their manuscript is aligned with the Publication Themes of Millî Egitim Journal. Manuscripts that do not correspond to the journal’s thematic scope will be rejected at the preliminary review stage.
2. Prior to submission, authors are required to carefully review the Submission Checklist for Authors page. Manuscripts that fail to meet one or more of the criteria specified in the checklist will be rejected during the preliminary evaluation.
3. Authors must review the Publication Principles, Ethical Principles and Publication Policies, Documents Required for Application, Copyright, Licensing, And Open Access Policy, and Fee Policy pages in full before submission and ensure compliance with all stated requirements.
