Peer Review Process

Each article is reviewed by at least two reviewers who are chosen from our database of over 100 experts in the field of critical pedagogy.

First, a reviewer must reply to the invitation email that was sent by the editor. Then, the reviewer must log in as a reviewer to the IJCP web site using their username and password.

The reviewer can then download and save the article to their computer. If a reviewer decides to make specific changes to the article, they should use the “track changes” function in Word.

Once the article has been read, an official review must be created. Also, the reviewer must make a recommendation regarding the publication of the article:

• Accept submission: The article should be accepted for publication by the IJCP. Minimal revisions are required by the author to ensure that the article is ready for publication.

• Revisions required: The article should be accepted for publication by the IJCP, but the author must first address several issues regarding its content and / or structure before it is ready for publication.

• Resubmit for review: The article needs substantial revision of its content and / or its structure and the article cannot be accepted for publication presently. However, because the article shows promise, the author should revise the entry and then resubmit it to the IJCP for consideration.*

• Decline submission: The article should not be accepted for publication. The article’s purpose, content, and / or use of research are not appropriate for the IJCP.

The reviewers’ decision, along with copies of their reviews, will be forwarded to the author as quickly as possible. We cannot guarantee how long the review process takes, but our reviewers and editors are committed to ensuring that the process goes as swiftly as possible.

*If an author is invited to resubmit an article for review, we ask that the author resubmits their piece within 3 months. We also ask that they include the original version of the article and the comments that were made regarding the revisions. Our policy is to make a final publication decision after one revision (of course, further work may also be requested to resolve any remaining issues).
