Author Guidelines

The journal accepts novel articles for publication in Greek, English and French language. Articles should not have been published in other electronic or printed medium and not simultaneously have undergone a review elsewhere. The content of the journal is oriented to educational research (theory and practice).

The author is responsible of the content of the article. By submitting an article for publication the author assumes responsibility for adhering to intellectual property rights law and assures that no violation is caused to the intellectual property rights of third parties.

The inclusion of ethics approval from an institutional or national research Ethics Committee is a fundamental requirement for research articles.

The name of the author should not appear anywhere in the document. The comment “... information that may identify the writers” should be written where is necessary.

There is one month time for any revision of the article, if this is suggested by the reviewers. In that case article should be submitted again for re-evaluation. In case of conflicting reviews, the manuscript is sent to a third reviewer. 

After the article has been approved by the reviewers and the editors, the author is informed of the acceptance of the manuscript. The editorial board may request changes to the content and the form of the manuscript.

All procedures (submissions, reviews, publication, etc) should be done exclusively via  web after registration to the system.

Providing information in two languages

 First fill in your information in the language that the article is written. Then provide in a second language, if desired. If first language is other than English, English should be the second language. Choose the language from language form dropdown list and submit to define the language. First fill in one language, then in the second and save at the end. Do not save in between the two languages. The process is the same for providing article metadata.

Article submission: from your personal user page as an author, choose to submit a new article.

  • Choose the section of the journal for submission (e.g. book reviews, articles etc)
  • Choose the main language in which the article is written from the dropdown list
  • Agree with the submission preparation checklist
  • Attach your paper
  • Fill in the article metadata first in the language that the article has been written, including author information for all authors (as described above). The following metadata fields are obligatory
    • Title
    • Abstract (obligatory in two languages)
    • Keywords(obligatory in both languages. Separate keywords with semi-colons (;))
    • Language (insert en for English, fr for French)
    • References (copy and baste the bibliography of your article in this field. It should be in APA style. This allows the editors to provide direct links to those articles, if they exist online, to help readers of your article directly export bibliographies in various formats, and help track the usage of these references)

We recommend that you fill as many fields as possible in the ‘indexing’ section beyond the obligatory ones above. Indexing helps network your article and make it more visible in the web.

OpenAIRE metada. If your submission is the result of EC funding through Horizon 2020, this field is obligatory to fill with the grant agreement number of your research grant. This will allow for your publication to become visible in the European repository www.openaire.eu, which provides open access to all publications funded by the EC.
