Online Science Education Journal, OSEJ, focuses on serving individuals, especially future generations, to acquire knowledge and skills, and adopts them as its vision. In this sense, OSEJ sees it as its mission to contribute to the development of science education activities in all levels and subject areas from pre-school to higher education and to serve all stakeholders.


OSEJ provides all kinds of scientific studies in all areas of science education.

It is obligatory that the manuscript to be submitted for publication has to be appropriate in accordance with the manuscript rules and publication conditions of our journal.

Research articles that discuss and analyze the topics from different perspectives, teaching application examples, and review studies are given priority. However, the book review that is thought to contribute to our journal's stakeholders in the field of science education, and studies on the introduction of education and didactic theories may also be published.

The evaluation process of the manuscripts sent to our journal starts and is completed electronically. The manuscript submitted by the author(s) is reviewed firstly by the editorial board in terms of appropriateness of content to the OSEJ. After this, the journal editor will appoint two reviewers with a doctorate degree. Once the two referees have issued a decision for publication as positively, the article has prepared in terms of the rules of writing and quotes of OSEJ and investigated the appropriateness of plagiarism and so on (this review process does not change the responsibility of the author).

Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement
Online Science Education Journal (OSEJ) is published once every 6 months, thus twice a year (June and December) in Kastamonu, TURKIYE. OSEJ is a peer-reviewed journal, which includes translated works, book reviews, and original research and review articles reporting qualitative, quantitative, or mixed-method studies in the field of science education. Articles can be submitted in Turkish or English language. As of 2020, only English articles are considered.

At OSEJ, it attached high importance to the integrity of our academic content, publication ethics, and process as well as maintaining authors’ research integrity. To this end, A number of ethical policies have been developed by the editorial team and the editorial board to ensure the impartiality and ethics of the work to be published in the OSEJ. It is also best to follow the guidelines and resources provided by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) to reach and maintain international publication standards by the editorial office. Here, it is outlined basic principles that we apply to our journal, which we believe will be useful for researchers and authors who wish to publish their articles in our journal.

Editorial Board and Editorial Process
OSEJ works with experts in the context of science education. Manuscripts that are submitted for evaluation go under initial screening for compliance with our publication ethics and malpractice statement under the supervision of the Chief Editor. Reviewers are appointed for the manuscripts that are approved by the Editorial Board after the preliminary examination regarding content. The manuscripts that are not approved by the Editorial Board shall be rejected. Each article is sent to two reviewers. If one of the reviewer’s reports is negative, the manuscript is sent to the third reviewer. In accordance with the reviewers’ reports, it is decided that the manuscript should be published, revised, or rejected. The authors are notified of this decision.
In case of corrections given to the manuscript, the corrections must be made within the period specified by the Editorial Board and sent to the Board. The manuscripts that are not revised in time shall be rejected. All submitted manuscripts must be prepared in accordance with OSEJ manuscript guidelines. The manuscripts that are considered inadequate in terms of language, regardless of content, are sent back or rejected. Prior to their submission, authors are advised to have their manuscripts proofread.
Either referee(s) nor author(s) do not know the personal information of each other. All this privacy policy is under the responsibility of the editing office. OSEJ editorial team never discriminates against authors or peer reviewers based on personal characteristics or identity. If OSEJ editorial team identifies malpractice in the manuscripts submitted or articles published, the editorial board will deal with the issue immediately and can take action including withdrawal, retraction, or correction.

The editorial team of OSEJ should hold the following ethical responsibilities that are based on the guides "COPE Code of Conduct and Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors" and "COPE Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors" published as Open Access by Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
