 Peer review process

Each paper is reviewed by the editors and, if it is judged suitable for this publication, it is then sent to at least two independent referees for double blind peer review. Based on their recommendation, as well as consultation between relevant Editorial Board members the editors then decide whether the paper should be accepted as is, revised or rejected.

 

Journal Editorial Criteria

The subject matter must be of critical importance to the comparative education, science and technology communities; the research question/s must fall within the CSCEST’s scope and the research itself must be well designed and executed; and on the whole the paper must be well presented – well written and conforming to the CSCEST’s style.
