We greatly appreciate the time and effort given by reviewers in evaluating papers for publication in our journal. Thanks to you contribution, Journal of Teacher Education for Sustainability (JTEFS) authors receive fast, fair and comprehensive review.
The article referee:
-
help the editor make a decision as the whether the paper is worthy of publication, or if the article needs minor or major improvements and/or amendments, or it is not suitable for publication in JTEFS.
-
provide constructive advice to the author/s so that they can improve the quality of their paper. Constructive criticism, insightful comments provide authors with valuable guidance as to how they might address any perceived shortcomings of their work.
All articles are pre-reviewed by Editor in order to reject the articles not in line with the subject of journal.
We pay special attention to receive unbiased, fair opinions; special policies govern allocation of reviewers to articles. All manuscripts are normally reviewed by at least two reviewers. Refereeing is anonymous unless a referee chooses otherwise. Our reviewers are kindly requested to deliver report in 4 weeks. The reviewer should immediately examine the paper he/she receives to determine that he/she will be able to review it, and if not (for any reason), notify the Editor. A referee who keeps a paper a long time, and then does not review it, has done both the author and the Editor a disservice. You can submit your review by email to the Editor.
Referee comments are passed intact to authors, apart from occasional editing. Proofs should be returned to the Editor as soon as possible. The Editorial Board has the right to reject a manuscript if after the first review it is submitted repeatedly with unsatisfactory corrections. The selection of articles for inclusion in the journal will be based on these reviews.
Please, note that accepted papers will undergo language editing by native English speakers. Incorrect grammar, style or punctuation should not be the reason to reject a paper if its content warrants the publication from the scientific point of view and is readable for the Reviewer.
