Focus and Scope

The journal provides a platform for educators across all sectors to research issues in the multi-disciplinary field of educational integrity. In addition, IJEI provides an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to take a leadership role in the relatively new field of educational integrity.

The IJEI is an international refereed journal where research on educational integrity is disseminated in an accessible and cost-effective format. The journal challenges readers to consider the changing nature of education in a globalised environment, and the impact that conceptions of educational integrity have on issues of pedagogy, academic standards, intercultural understanding and equity.

Articles of interest to the IJEI readership may include but are not limited to the following areas as they relate to educational integrity: plagiarism, cheating, academic integrity, honour codes, teaching and learning, institutional integrity and student motivation. Submissions may include original research (including practitioner research), theoretical discussions and review papers.

Peer Review Process

Articles submitted to the IJEI are subject to a double-blind review process, with appropriate reviewers selected from an extensive, inter-disciplinary panel.

Manuscripts are initially assessed by the Editors to ensure readiness for review. If deemed appropriate manuscripts are then sent out for review, after which one of the following recommendations may be made: accepted for publication, accepted subject to minor revisions, invited to resubmit following substantial revisions, submit elsewhere or declined. The review and publication process will usually be completed in around three months.

The criteria used to guide the review process include:
1. relevance to IJEI readership
2. critical/analytic insight
3. coherence, readability and accessiblity
4. persuasive argument
5. methodological strength
6. originality

 

Publication Frequency

The IJEI aims to publish two issues per year depending on the number and quality of submissions received. An issue will only be published if four high quality papers have been successfully reviewed and recommended for publication.

 

Open Access Policy

This journal provides open access to all of its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge. Such access is associated with increased readership and citation levels. The journal uses open source software, developed by the Public Knowledge Project, to help make open access economically viable, as well as to improve the scholarly and public quality of research.
