Submission Statement

Submissions are now OPEN.

Submissions close: Friday February 26, 2024 (9am JST)
Target publication: Thursday May 30, 2024

Please note:

  • All submissions should include sound theoretical and/or conceptual foundations: if these are absent, the manuscript WILL NOT be considered.
  • At this time, we only accept submissions on the theme of Studies in Education.
  • All submissions must pass pre-screening before being forwarded to the editorial team.
  • Any manuscript that does not follow our Author Guidelines, or is flagged for plagiarism (checked with iThenticate), will be rejected at the submission stage.
  • Once an article has been rejected, an author cannot resubmit either an amendment to this article or another article for this issue of the journal.
  • We will only accept one submission from any author in a particular issue and no more than two submissions, in different issues, over the course of a year. This includes both individual and shared authorship. If you submit as an individual you may not be a shared author on another submission, and vice versa. Also, if you have had a submission rejected you cannot be an author on another paper for that same issue.
