Peer Review Process

All submitted manuscripts are read by the editorial staff. The review proccess uses double blind review system. Those manuscripts evaluated by editors to be inappropriate to journal criteria are rejected promptly without external review. Manuscripts evaluated to be of potential interest to our readership are sent to reviewers. The editors then make a decision based on the reviewers' recommendation from among several possibilities: rejected, require major revision, need minor revision, or accepted.

Manuscript's conformity to the journal's guidelines, the novelty of the research, the appropriateness of the method, and also the continuity and clarity of the ideas become the main consideration in reviewing the submissions.

The reviewers chosen for the journal are experts in educational assessment, measurement, and evaluation, and also experts in different areas of study to focus on the topic of each manuscript.

The review takes approximately 1 to 2 months, depending on the reviewers' availability.

Open Access Policy

This journal provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge.
