Research articles submitted to this journal are peer reviewed by blind review.
The reviewers provide valuable scientific comments that improve the content of the manuscript. The final decision on acceptance of the article will be made by the Editor, on behalf of the Editorial Board in accordance with the reviewers' comments.
Publication of accepted articles including the order in which the articles are published will be made by the Editor-in-Chief taking into account the order of date of receipt and geographical distribution of authors and thematic issues.
Review of Results: Utilizing feedback from the peer review process, the Editor will make the final publication decision. The review process will take approximately 1 to 6 weeks. Decision categories include,
Rejected: Rejected manuscripts will not be published and authors will not have the opportunity to resubmit a revised version of the manuscript to Educenter.
Resubmit Review: A manuscript that is submitted to be reworked, but with significant changes, may still be accepted. However, this will require a review.
Accept with Revisions: Manuscripts that receive an accept-pending-revision decision will be published on Educenter provided there are minor/major modifications. Revisions will be reviewed by the editors to ensure necessary updates are made prior to publication.
Acceptance: Accepted manuscripts will be published in their existing form with no further modifications required. Upon review, all appropriate information will be sent to the author. Within a week or two, the author will finalize the article and send the final version to the Editor. If after this period the article is not returned (or the editorial board is not notified of the delay) - the article is rejected.
