1. The corresponding author register or login to the journal online system.

2. Submission of paper: The corresponding author submits the paper to the journal. This is usually via the journal online system.  The journal uses the double-blind review. To conceal the identities of both reviewers and authors from each other throughout the review, authors required to remove to submit an anonymized manuscript and exclude any identifying information including all authors' names and affiliations, a complete address for the corresponding author, including an e-mail address, acknowledgments, and conflict of interest statement, from the manuscript before submission. Manuscripts are evaluated on the following criteria: A. Fitness; manuscripts should appropriate for the aim and scope of the journal. B. Contribution, manuscripts should have a significance in contributing to educational theory, policy, and practice. C. Comprehensibility, manuscripts should flow of Ideas presented and assessable by the rational agent, D. Interest-neutrality, manuscripts should not be taken any side in a conflict.

3. Editorial office assessment: The journal checks the paper’s composition and arrangement against the journal’s Guide for Author to make sure it includes all required sections and reference style.

3. The initial assessment by the editor of the journal: The editor of the Journal checks that the appropriateness and originality of the paper. If the paper not apocopate and original, it may be rejected without further review.

4. The editor of the journal assigns two/three reviewers: The journal invites the assigned reviewers to comment on the manuscript. At least two responses need to be received for making a decision on the paper. Further invitations are issued, if necessary.

6. Response to invitations: The assigned reviewers consider the invitation against their own expertise, conflicts of interest and availability. They may accept or decline. When declining, the editor may assign alternative reviewers.

7. Review: The reviewer sets time aside to read the paper several times. The first read is used to form an initial impression of the work. If major problems are found at this stage, the reviewer may feel comfortable rejecting the paper without further work. Otherwise, they will read the paper several more times, taking notes so as to build a detailed point-by-point review. The review is then submitted to the journal, with a recommendation to accept or reject it – or else with a request for revision before it is reconsidered.

8. Evaluate the reviews: After the revision, the editor invites one of the reviewers to evaluate the new version of the manuscript.   However, where only minor changes were requested this follow-up review might be done by the handling editor. If the manuscript accepted, the paper is sent to production.

9. The decision on the manuscript: When the reviewers’ comments have been received, the editor considers all the returned reviews and takes into account their suggestions, and the author/s will be notified of the decision by e-mail and  the journal online system.
