AIM: We aim to foster a culture of collaborative, interdisciplinary research and to establish graduate students in education and educational psychology as leaders in international, high-quality, impactful scholarly activities.
Peer Review Process
All submissions will undergo a preliminary screening process to ensure that contributions meet the initial criteria, such as length, consistency with journal theme, overall writing style, and adherence to APA publication style. Papers that do not fulfill these criteria are likely to be rejected without review. Contributions meeting this initial criteria will be passed on to two or more respective reviewers and will undergo a double-blind peer review process. Authors can expect a decision within six weeks of receipt. If a revision is warranted, the correspondence author should submit the revised manuscript within three weeks. If revisions are submitted beyond this timeframe, they may be treated as new submissions and sent to new reviewers for assessment. Once reviewers have received revised manuscripts, a provisional decision is made on the submission. This decision is put forward to the editorial board and a final decision is made. There is no charge associated with publication.
Publication Frequency
Emerging Perspectives aims to publish two issues per year, one in June and one in November.
Open Access Policy
This journal provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge. There is no charge to the author to publish with Emerging Perspectives.
