The manuscripts with the following characteristics will not be considered for peer review:

·         Studies that are irrelevant to instruction, teaching, training, or learning.

·         Studies that solely report bibliometric reviews, systematic reviews/meta-analyses conducted by a sole author, and subjective reviews.

·         Studies addressing overly local or highly contextual issues, which are irrelevant to the wider international audience.

·         Studies on obsolete issues (e.g., covid19 pandemic) or using obsolete data older than three years.

·         Studies with a weak rational or theoretical base that are not motivated by current international literature.

·         Empirical studies with low observations that pose threats to external validity, and with other major deficiencies in validity and reliability.

·         Studies with poor quantitative findings (e.g., measurement with a single instrument, targeting a single dependent variable), which make weak contributions to the relevant literature.

·         Empirical studies improperly performed and reported statistical analyses.

·         Studies with poor qualitative findings (a lack of adequate rigor, depth, or depiction) that poorly address the trustworthiness issues (using a single qualitative data source or a lack of triangulation, peer debriefing, and thick description).

·         Manuscripts with poor organization and inconsistency with the academic writing guidelines.

·         Studies in the fields of physical education, sports, and fine arts.
