Peer Review Process

All scholarly submissions (research reports, literature-based articles, and praxis essays) will be initially screened by editors and reviewed by at least two anonymous reviewers. Book reviews will not be peer-reviewed. Revision of a manuscript does not guarantee publication. All editorial communication is conducted through the OJS to expedite the publication process. Authors will be able to follow the progress of their submission in the OJS.

 

Publication Frequency

Two issues are published annually. The Spring issue is published at the end of June and the Fall issue at the end of December. No deadline is applied to the submission of manuscripts on open themes pertaining to multicultural education. Occasionally special issues are published. For special issues submission deadlines are applied. Calls for submission for special issues are posted in the Announcement section of the journal.
