Authors for the Educational Justice Journal must declare the contents of the manuscript have not been submitted elsewhere except for as an abstract for a conference proceeding.
Manuscripts must be prepared according to the following Educational Justice Journal Guidelines.
Manuscripts are reviewed by a blind peer review process, detailed below. Inquiries regarding the submission process can be addressed to chall@vsu.edu.
Author(s) submit the manuscript here on the EJJ website.
The editors-in-chief will first determine if the manuscript adheres to the submission guidelines and if the manuscript aligns to the current theme. If the manuscript meets the guidelines and current theme, the manuscript moves to the next stage.
The editors-in-chief will refer the manuscript for review if it adheres to the submission guidelines. An email will be sent to the submitting author informing the manuscript meets the guidelines and will be referred for review (one to two weeks). If the manuscript does not meet the guidelines, the manuscript will be sent back to the authors indicating this is not fit the journal (one to two weeks).
Once the manuscript is approved by the editors-in-chief as meeting the guidelines, the next step is sending the manuscript to the reviewers. There are at least three reviewers selected to review the manuscript. This is a double-blind process. Reviewers have six weeks from the time of receipt to review the manuscript.
At this stage, reviewers assess the manuscript (three readings are required). The first reading of the manuscript is to gather an overview or scope of the document. The second and third readings require a more detailed review and note-taking. The reviewers next include recommendations for the manuscript and determine if the manuscript recommendation is Revise, Accept, or Reject. The reviews are sent to the editors-in-chief with the recommendations. If the reviews are close in recommendations, they are then collected and submitted to the submitting author as one document. If the recommendations vary, a fourth reviewer will be added (this may delay the review process timeline).
After the six-week review, the submitting author is notified of the decision. If the result is “Accept,” a consent form will be sent to the submitting author, which must be signed by the author(s) to proceed with publication. If the manuscript result is “Revise,” the author must respond, make changes, and/or respond to the comments. The submitting author must then resubmit with the changes. If the changes are accepted, a consent form will be sent for signature to proceed with publication. If the result is “Reject,” the manuscript will include the comments on why the decision was made. The submitting author may then request further feedback on improving submissions in the future.
