Editorial Policy
The central purpose of the review process is to enhance the quality of the manuscript(s) in the field of transformative education research and practice. We seek manuscripts that deal with questions around the conceptualisations and applications of models, including theories and perspectives that can enhance the field of transformative education research and practice. We invite scholars and practitioners to challenge and expand these assumptions through various forms of praxis-driven inquiry, such as participatory action research, critical policy research, critical auto/ethnography, and transformative mixed methods, to name but a few. Authors should try to eliminate language errors (other than intentional linguistic, stylistic, and rhetorical variations) to save time for reviewers, editors, and copyeditors, allowing better use of that time.
Thus, authors must ensure that the submission is free of linguistic errors and conforms to the journal's requirements for manuscript preparation. Manuscripts that are not written in compliance with author guidelines or do not demonstrate a proficient use of the English language will not be eligible for full external peer-review process and for publication. See the author guidelines at https://jrtp.kusoed.edu.np/home/author-guidelines!
Non-native speakers of English are advised to employ language editing services to have their manuscripts examined and edited by native language professionals for grammar, content clarity, formatting, punctuation, and spelling before submission.
The authors confirm that the submission is appropriate for the journal's scope, has not been published before, even partially, and is not being considered for publication elsewhere, is prepared in conformity with the journal's publishing ethics, is approved by all co-authors, the corresponding author is authorized to handle any communication regarding the manuscript on other co-authors' behalf, complies with the journal's author guidelines regarding stylistic, bibliographic, and linguistic standards.
Incoming submissions undergo an initial screening by the editor-in-chief assigned manuscript-handling editors before being sent out for peer review. At this point, editors can send the article back to the authors for adjustments or reject it without further evaluation. Editors may appoint additional reviewers, request minor or major revisions from authors, or commit a final decision about the manuscript at any point during peer review. The submission portal assigns each manuscript a unique manuscript ID, and this identification number should be provided in any communication with the editorial or support personnel.
The journal accepts the submission of research articles, research notes, review articles, and book reviews.
