Peer Review Process

Manuscripts will be considered for publication on the basis of their contributions to important and current discussions in International and Development Education and their scholarly competence and originality.

There are 5 major steps to the peer review process:

• Upon receipt, each manuscript will be read by the Editors to determine its suitability for publication prior to in-depth review. Manuscripts that are poorly prepared, of low technical quality, or otherwise inappropriate will be returned to the author(s) without additional review.
• All manuscripts initially approved by the Editors will be reviewed anonymously by at least two scholars selected from a list of potential reviewers and/or members of the Advisory Board.
• The Managing Editors will review the reader reports and determine whether the manuscript should be (1) accepted, (2) rejected, or (3) returned to the author to be revised and resubmitted.
• Articles sent back to authors to be revised and resubmitted should be revised in a timely manner.
• The Editorials will make the final decision as to (1) whether or not a manuscript is ready for publication, and (2) if yes, which issue is the best fit for the manuscript.
• In rare cases, when the topic is important, the Editorial Board may provide suggestions as to how a rejected manuscript might be improved to warrant subsequent consideration. In such cases, the revised manuscript will be subject to the full review process.
