Peer Review Statement

International Journal of Education and Developmental Issues (IJEDI) operates with a single-blind peer review process to uphold the quality and integrity of the scholarly research we publish. This approach ensures a fair and constructive evaluation of all submitted manuscripts.

Review Process

Upon submission, each manuscript undergoes an initial editorial screening to determine its compliance with the journal’s submission guidelines. Manuscripts that meet these criteria are then sent for peer review.

Single-Blind Review

In our single-blind peer review process:

  • The identities of the reviewers are kept confidential from the authors.
  • The authors’ identities are known to the reviewers.

This approach allows reviewers to provide unbiased and honest feedback based on their expertise while maintaining their anonymity.

Selection of Reviewers

  • Reviewers are selected based on their expertise in relevant fields of education and developmental issues.
  • The editorial team ensures that each manuscript is matched with qualified reviewers who can provide a thorough and insightful critique.

Evaluation Criteria

Reviewers assess manuscripts based on the following:
✔ Originality – The novelty and significance of the research.
✔ Relevance – Alignment with the scope of IJEDI.
✔ Methodological Rigor – The clarity and appropriateness of research methods.
✔ Clarity of Writing – The readability and coherence of the manuscript.
✔ Contribution to the Field – The potential impact on education and developmental issues.

Feedback and Recommendations

  • Reviewers provide detailed feedback to assist authors in improving their manuscripts.
  • This feedback is included in the communication sent to authors after the review process.

Editorial Decision

After the peer review is complete:

  • The editorial board makes a decision based on the reviewers' evaluations.
  • The possible outcomes include:
    • Acceptance
    • Requests for minor or major revisions
    • Rejection
  • Authors receive reviewers’ comments to facilitate any necessary revisions.

Confidentiality

  • All submissions and peer reviews are treated as confidential.
  • The identities of the reviewers and the content of their evaluations are protected to maintain the integrity of the review process.

By implementing a single-blind peer review system, IJEDI ensures a rigorous and respectful evaluation process that promotes the publication of high-quality research in education and developmental studies.
