Peer Review Process

All research manuscripts submitted to Educational Development, Pedagogy, Humanities and Research (EDUPHORA) undergo an editorial screening and peer-review process before a final publication decision is made.

1. Initial Editorial Screening

The Editorial Team conducts an initial assessment to determine whether the manuscript is consistent with the journal's focus and scope, follows the author guidelines, demonstrates sufficient academic quality, and meets basic ethical and technical requirements.

Manuscripts that do not meet the journal's requirements may be returned to the authors or rejected without external review.

2. Peer Review

Manuscripts that pass the initial screening are assigned to qualified reviewers with expertise relevant to the subject of the manuscript.

EDUPHORA applies a double-blind peer-review process, in which the identities of the authors and reviewers are concealed from each other during the review process.

Reviewers evaluate manuscripts based on originality, relevance, theoretical foundation, research methodology, quality of analysis, clarity of presentation, validity of conclusions, and contribution to the field.

3. Editorial Decision

Based on reviewers' recommendations and editorial evaluation, a manuscript may receive one of the following decisions:

• Accepted
• Accepted with minor revisions
• Major revisions required
• Resubmit for review
• Rejected

4. Revision

Authors receiving revision requests are expected to address reviewers' and editors' comments carefully and provide a revised manuscript along with an explanation of the changes made.

5. Final Decision

The Editor-in-Chief or responsible editor makes the final decision regarding publication after considering the manuscript's academic quality, reviewer recommendations, revisions, and compliance with the journal's policies.
