Peer Review Process

Teacher Education and Learning Journal (TELJ)

Double-Blind Peer Review

TELJ applies a rigorous double-blind peer review process to ensure the academic quality, originality, relevance, and integrity of all submitted manuscripts.

The identities of authors and reviewers remain confidential throughout the review process.

Review Workflow

Step 1 – Initial Editorial Screening

The editorial team evaluates manuscript suitability with the journal scope, author guidelines, language quality, methodology, references, and ethical standards.

Step 2 – Similarity & Ethics Check

All submissions undergo plagiarism screening using a reliable similarity detection tool.

Maximum similarity threshold: 20%
No plagiarism or duplicate publication
No fabricated data or manipulated findings
Proper citation and reference management required

Step 3 – Double-Blind Review

Manuscripts that pass the initial screening are sent to three independent reviewers.

Reviewers evaluate:

Originality and novelty
Contribution to the field
Theoretical foundation
Methodological rigor
Validity of findings
Quality of discussion
Relevance to teacher education and learning studies

Step 4 – Author Revision

Reviewer comments and recommendations are returned to the corresponding author for revision.

Revised manuscripts should be submitted within the specified deadline
Manuscripts returned after 20 days may be treated as new submissions unless an extension is granted

Step 5 – Editorial Decision

The final decision is made by the Editor-in-Chief or assigned editor based on reviewer evaluations and author revisions.

Possible Decisions:

Accepted
