IJPI practices a peer review process to screen the submitted manuscripts in order to ensure that good educational research is chosen for publication. It is an objective process that is carried out in all reputable journals. Our referees play an essential role in maintaining the high standards of IJPI.
All manuscripts are peer reviewed according to the following steps:
Initial manuscript evaluation
The Managing Editor and members of the Editorial Board evaluate all manuscripts. Those that meet the minimum criteria are passed on to two or three field experts for review. Authors of manuscripts rejected at this stage will be informed within four weeks of receipt.
Peer Review process
IJPI employs double or triple blind reviewing, where the referees and author(s) remain anonymous throughout the reviewing process. Referees are matched to the paper according to their areas of specialties. Our peer reviewers list is constantly updated. Suggestions from authors are welcome though these recommendations may or may not be used.
Referees are asked to evaluate the research originality, methodology, ethics and results and correct reference sitting. Language correction and grammar editing are not part of the peer review process.
Manuscript will be reviewed within three months of the submission dates. Should the referees reports contradict one another or a report is unnecessarily delayed an expert opinion will be taken. All our referees sign a conflict or interest statement. Reviewed manuscripts are usually returned to the initial referees within 2-3 weeks. Referees may request more than one revision of a manuscript.
Referees advise the managing editor on the suitability of the manuscript for publication in IJPI. The managing editor is responsible for the final decision to accept or reject the article.
