Editorial Procedure

Overview

This page describes how the editors of Ethnomathematics Journal handle a manuscript from submission to publication. The journal follows the COPE Core Practices. The review itself is described in the Peer Review Process.

Who does what

Editor-in-Chief Responsible for the scholarly content, policies, and ethics of the journal, and for the final decision on a manuscript.
Managing Editor Runs the editorial workflow and keeps the editorial records.
Editorial Board Advises on policy, reviews manuscripts, and suggests reviewers.
Assistant and Copy Editors Check submissions, and prepare accepted manuscripts for publication.

The names of the editors are on the Editorial Team page.

From submission to publication

  1. Receipt. The system acknowledges the submission and the Managing Editor checks that the files are complete.
  2. Screening. The editors check the scope (see Aims and Scope), the format (see the Author Guidelines), the language, the ethics information, and the similarity of the text. A manuscript that does not meet the requirements may be returned or rejected without review.
  3. Assignment. The Editor-in-Chief assigns the manuscript to an editor with suitable expertise, who has no competing interest.
  4. Review. The editor invites at least two independent reviewers and the double-blind review takes place. See Reviewer Selection.
  5. Decision. The editor assesses the reviews and decides or recommends a decision. See Editorial Decisions and Revision.
  6. Revision. The authors revise and answer the comments. The editors check the revision and may send it for another review.
  7. Production. Accepted manuscripts are copyedited, typeset, proofread by the authors, and then published online with a DOI.
  8. After publication. The article is archived, indexed, and open to corrections. See Archiving and Abstracting and Indexing.

The target for a first decision is 4–8 weeks from submission. The journal accepts submissions throughout the year, and publishes two issues a year, in March and September. See Publication Frequency.

Standards for editors

  • Judge manuscripts only on their scholarly merit, whatever the identity, nationality, institution, or standing of the authors.
  • Keep manuscripts, reviews, and correspondence confidential. See Peer Review Confidentiality.
  • Declare any competing interest and do not handle manuscripts that it affects. Manuscripts by an editor or by an editorial board member are handled by another editor, and the editor concerned has no part in the decision.
  • Do not use generative AI tools on manuscripts or reviews. See AI in Peer Review.
  • Keep records of decisions and of the reasons for them.
