Double Blind Peer Review Policy

All manuscripts relevant to the aims and scope of PEME are reviewed anonymously. All manuscripts undergo rigorous double-blind peer review by at least two anonymous reviewers. Manuscripts submitted to PEME are judged on the following criteria: Use of an explicit theoretical or conceptual framework, acknowledgment of relevant literature, originality in analysis, appropriateness of methodological approach, contribution to the advancement of knowledge, and clarity of expression. The editors rely heavily on reviewers' judgments. Strong efforts are made to ensure prompt decisions about acceptance. To ensure anonymity, authors' names, institutional affiliations, and other identifying information should not be available on documents. The Editors reserve the right to make minor alterations to all papers that are accepted for publication. PEME does not charge any fees for processing, publishing, or submitting manuscripts.

Plagiarism Policy

PEME aims to publish original articles that bring new insight into the social sciences and related disciplines. Therefore contributions submitted to PEME for publication must be the author(s) original work. Publication in PEME is conditional on submitted articles not having been previously published or currently submitted elsewhere for review towards publication. Submitted articles go through an initial editorial screening in terms of format, scope, and originality. After the initial screening, all the submissions are checked by iThenticate plagiarism detection software to check a paper's originality before sending it out for review. iThenticate plagiarism detection software compares submitted documents to extensive data repositories to create a comprehensive similarity report. The submissions which cannot verify content originality are rejected immediately.

Scope

The journal engages with theoretical, conceptual, and methodological debates in the fields of economics of education, administration and management of education, politics of education, and educational finance. It publishes rigorous analyses of educational phenomena, policies, and developments that are of theoretical and practical importance and relevance to scholars, policy-makers, and practitioners. We are particularly interested in in-depth studies investigating the interplay of international, cross-national, and domestic forces in the shaping of educational ideologies, educational systems, the economics of education, administration and management of education, and approaches to educational finance.
Submissions are welcomed from scholars engaged in high-quality educational research in all fields, including interdisciplinary studies, and from all paradigmatic perspectives in the social and human sciences. Contributors are expected to engage with and build upon the existing body of scholarship published in the Journal and other significant texts in the field. Review articles, research articles, and book reviews are gladly accepted.
