Peer Review Process

Peer Review Process

All manuscripts submitted to Science Education and Learning Journal (SCEDULE) undergo editorial screening before entering the peer-review process. The initial screening evaluates the manuscript's relevance to the journal's focus and scope, originality, scholarly quality, ethical compliance, and adherence to the journal's submission requirements.

Manuscripts considered suitable for further evaluation are assigned to reviewers with relevant expertise. Reviewers evaluate the scientific quality, methodology, clarity, originality, relevance, and contribution of the manuscript.
