Reviewer instructions

Good peer reviewers play a crucial part in the advancement of a profession. The essential goal of the blind peer review process is to maximize the quality of published research in a field of scholarly inquiry. A reviewer has obligations to three audiences:

The editors of the journal Accordion Closed
The editors of the journal rely on reviewers to be thorough, prompt, and fair.  The editors expect to be provided with:
  • detailed but concise assessments of manuscript quality,
  • a clear recommendation about whether the paper should be rejected, revised, or accepted, and
  • feedback to authors that will be helpful in crafting a revision (or submission to another journal).

The author(s) of the paper Accordion Closed
The authors rely on reviewers to be constructive, reasoned, explicit, and ethical.  A submitted manuscript is confidential; do not discuss, copy, or quote it.  Identify both the strengths and the weaknesses of the paper.  When serving as a reviewer, be aware of your biases or preferences.  Do not be superficial or dismissive.  Consider how you can help the author(s) to improve their study.

Scholars and practitioners in the profession Accordion Closed

We hope to serve as a valuable resource for educational leaders, teachers, policymakers, scholars, and graduate students by shedding light on the practical implications of policy decisions and their implementation.
