Peer Review Process

IJETE employs a rigorous double-blind peer review process to ensure the quality and relevance of published articles. Manuscripts are reviewed by at least two experts in the field, who evaluate the work for its originality, methodological rigor, clarity of presentation, and contribution to the field of ethnoscience and technology in education.

Reviewers/experts are given two weeks to review the assigned article. The editorial team will give a decision to accept or reject the article based on the results of the review conducted by the reviewer. If the reviewers give recommendations that are significantly different, the editor will assign 1 (one) additional reviewer to be considered in giving a decision on the article. The language used in this journal is English.

Review Outcomes

Utilizing feedback from the peer review process, the Editor will make a final publication decision. The review process will take approximately 4 to 12 weeks. Decisions categories include:

  • Reject - Rejected manuscripts will not be published and authors will not have the opportunity to resubmit a revised version of the manuscript to IJETE.

  • Resubmit for Review - The submission needs to be re-worked, but with significant changes, may be accepted. However, it will require a second round of review.

  • Accept with Revisions - Manuscripts receiving an accept-pending-revisions decision will be published in IJETE under the condition that minor/major modifications are made. Revisions will be reviewed by an editor to ensure necessary updates are made prior to publication.

  • Accept - Accepted manuscripts will be published in the current form with no further modifications required.
