2. Acceptable Article Types

This journal accepts manuscripts in the following format types:

Review: Provide systematic syntheses and critical evaluations of existing educational scholarship across diverse disciplines and methodologies. These articles aim to consolidate knowledge, assess methodological advances, and identify emerging priorities in educational research, policy, and practice. By offering comprehensive perspectives on fundamental philosophical issues, ideological forces, and evolving topics, they seek to stimulate scholarly discussion and inform future research agendas.
Research Article: Present original scientific findings, innovative methodological approaches, or substantial applied research derived from educational investigations. Emphasizing originality, methodological rigor, and strong theoretical frameworks, these articles contribute to core domains such as human learning, school reform, education policy, and the philosophical foundations of education. Submissions should demonstrate robust design, clear analysis, and meaningful implications for transforming practice, policy, or research in local and international contexts.
Case Study: Document and analyze real-world educational practices, interventions, policy applications, or school reforms. Through detailed examination, these articles distill practical lessons, evaluate the effectiveness of strategies, and provide evidence-based guidance for addressing similar challenges. They emphasize the translation of theory into practice, social responsibility, and building stronger communities through improved learning outcomes.
Editorial: Provide perspectives, insights, and commentary from the editorial team or invited experts on issues of broad relevance to educational scholarship. Editorials may address emerging themes, philosophical debates, policy implications, or the strategic direction of the journal. Typically concise and authoritative, they aim to contextualize developments, highlight key contributions, and stimulate intellectual reflection and discussion.
Short Communications: Report concise and timely research findings, preliminary results, or focused methodological notes that are of clear relevance to education. These submissions facilitate rapid dissemination of important insights or novel observations that may not yet warrant a full-length article. They are expected to maintain scientific rigor and offer clear implications for research, policy, or professional practice.
