Journal of Teacher Education and Lifelong Learning (TELL) is a double-blind, peer-reviewed international academic journal. TELL is committed to the academic community; in this regard, it stands for meeting the highest standards of publication ethics. In contrast, publication malpractice is strictly prohibited by all possible measures. That’s why it is necessary to agree upon standards of expected ethical behavior for all parties involved in publishing: the author, the journal editor, the peer reviewer, and the publisher. Our ethical statements are based on COPE’s Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors.


For Editors

The journal editor is responsible for deciding which of the articles submitted to the journal should be published. The editor may be guided by the policies of the journal’s editorial board and constrained by such legal requirements as shall then be in force regarding libel, copyright infringement, and plagiarism. The editor may confer with other editors or reviewers in making this decision. An editor will evaluate manuscripts for their intellectual content without regard to the author's race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy. The editor and any editorial staff must not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial advisers, and the publisher, as appropriate. Disclosure and conflicts of interest unpublished materials disclosed in a submitted manuscript must not be used in an editor’s own research without the author's express written consent.

For Reviewers

Peer review assists the editor in making editorial decisions and, through the editorial communications with the author, may also assist the author in improving the paper. Any selected referee who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows its prompt review will be impossible should notify the editor and excuse himself from the review process. Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. They must not be shown to or discussed with others except as authorized by the editor. Reviews should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Referees should express their views clearly with supporting arguments. Acknowledgment of Sources Reviewers should identify relevant published work that the authors have not cited. Any statement that an observation, derivation, or argument had been previously reported should be accompanied by the appropriate citation. A reviewer should also call to the editor’s attention any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript under consideration and any other published paper they know personally. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts with conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.

For Authors

Authors of reports of original research should present an honest account of the work performed and a discussion of its significance in the field of Teacher Education and Lifelong Learning.  Underlying data and ways of interpreting these should be represented transparently in the paper. A paper should contain sufficient detail and references to permit others to judge the value of the work. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Authors are asked to provide the raw data in connection with a paper for editorial review and should be prepared to provide public access to such data (consistent with the ALPSP-STM Statement on Data and Databases), if practicable, and should, in any event, be designed to retain such data for a reasonable time after publication. The authors should ensure that they have written entirely original works, and if the authors have used the work and words of others, that this has been appropriately cited or quoted. Multiple, redundant, or concurrent publications: an author should not generally publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in more than one journal or primary magazine. Submitting the same manuscript to multiple journals concurrently constitutes unacceptable publishing behavior. Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given. Authors should cite publications that have influenced the nature of the reported work. Authorship should be limited to those who have contributed significantly to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study. All those who have made significant contributions should be listed as co-authors. Where others have participated in certain substantive aspects of the research project, they should be acknowledged or listed as contributors. The corresponding author should ensure that all appropriate co-authors and no inappropriate co-authors are included in the paper and that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the paper and have agreed to its submission for publication. All authors should disclose in their manuscript any financial or other substantive conflict of interest that might be construed to influence the results or interpretation of their manuscript. All sources of financial support for the project should be disclosed. Authors can not make any changes to the published manuscript electronically. Therefore, authors must carefully review and correct any errors on galley proof.

Author/s declare that:
The author/s declares the presence of ethics statements needed for ethical research using human subjects. Otherwise, they provide the necessary documents.

a) Conflict of Interest: They have no conflict of interest.

b) Research involving human participants and animals: This study contains no studies with human participants or animals performed by authors. This article does not contain any studies involving animals performed by any of the authors.

Related to Plagiarism

The journal is strictly against any unethical act of copying or plagiarism. All manuscripts submitted for publication to TELL are cross-checked for plagiarism using iThenticate software. Manuscripts found plagiarized during the initial stages of review are outright rejected and not considered for publication in the journal.
