Author Guidelines

Authors should read the aims and scope before submission. Manuscripts must be original, clearly written and not under review elsewhere.

Article types

• Research articles
• Review and synthesis articles
• Methods and measurement papers
• Policy and practice analyses
• Case studies and short communications

Educational reporting

State the educational problem, context, theoretical or conceptual framework and contribution. Describe participants, setting, recruitment, sampling, intervention or learning design, instruments, procedures and analysis in sufficient detail. Quantitative studies should report measurement quality, missing data, effect sizes and uncertainty. Qualitative studies should explain researcher position, coding, credibility and interpretation.

Ethics, inclusion and safeguarding

Research involving learners, teachers or other participants requires appropriate ethics review and informed consent or assent. Studies involving children or vulnerable groups must document safeguarding, parental or guardian consent where required, privacy protection and procedures that minimize power-related pressure. Report inclusion, accessibility and relevant contextual limitations.

Data and transparency

Include a Data Availability Statement. Deposit instruments, protocols, code, de-identified data and supporting materials where lawful and ethical. Explain restrictions involving student records, confidential institutional data, copyright or re-identification risk.

Review files

Provide a separate title page and anonymized manuscript for double-blind review. Disclose funding, competing interests, author contributions and material use of generative AI.
