Before submission

Before you submit the manuscript, kindly refer to our guidelines regarding publishing ethics.

 

Authors are strongly encouraged to verify the accuracy of the author group, the corresponding author, and the order of authors at the time of submission. Changes to the authorship list, such as additions, deletions, or rearrangements, are typically not allowed during the revision process. However, exceptions may be made for valid reasons. Any modifications to the authorship list should be fully explained and approved by the editor of EduRE before the manuscript is accepted.

Please note that alterations to authorship cannot be made after manuscript acceptance.

It is crucial to emphasize that preprints are permitted to be shared freely and without restrictions, following EduRE's sharing policy. The act of sharing preprints, whether on preprint servers or elsewhere, will not be regarded as prior publication. The articles published by EduRE are released under the CC BY-NC-ND license.

Declaration of Interest

To uphold transparency and integrity in scholarly contributions, all collaborators are mandated to disclose any financial or personal affiliations with individuals or organizations that could potentially introduce undue influence or bias to their work. Such associations may include but are not limited to employment, consultancies, stock ownership, honoraria, compensation for expert testimony, patent applications/registrations, and grants or other forms of funding. Authors are required to make these disclosures in two specific locations:

  • A concise declaration of interest statement on the title page file. In instances where there are no interests to declare, it is imperative to explicitly state: 'Declarations of interest: none.'
  • Comprehensive disclosures must be provided as part of a dedicated Declaration of Interest form, seamlessly integrated into the official records of the journal. It is essential for potential interests to be declared in locations, ensuring uniformity and accuracy of the disclosed information.

Article Submission Conditions

The submission of an article entails adherence to the following conditions:

  • The work described has not been previously published, except in the form of an abstract, a published lecture, or an academic thesis.
  • The manuscript is not presently under consideration for publication elsewhere.
  • Approval for publication has been granted by all authors, and the responsible authorities at the institution where the work was conducted have provided tacit or explicit approval.
  • In the event of acceptance, the article will not be replicated elsewhere in the same form, whether in English or any other language, including electronic publications, without the written consent of the copyright holder.

To ensure compliance with these conditions, submitted articles may undergo scrutiny using tools such as Crossref Similarity Check and other originality or plagiarism detection checking software (e.g., iThenticate).

Using Inclusive Language

Inclusive language is characterized by its recognition of diversity, demonstration of respect for all individuals, sensitivity to differences, and advocacy for equal opportunities. Content should abstain from making assumptions about the beliefs or commitments of any reader, steering clear of implying superiority based on factors such as age, gender, race, ethnicity, culture, sexual orientation, disability, or health condition. Instead, it should consistently incorporate inclusive language.

To achieve gender neutrality, it is advisable to default to the use of plural nouns ("students, teachers, etc.") wherever possible, thereby avoiding exclusive reliance on terms like "he," "she," or "he/she." Descriptors related to personal attributes, such as age, gender, race, ethnicity, culture, sexual orientation, disability, or health condition, should be employed thoughtfully, taking into account their relevance and validity in the given context.

When employing coding terminology, it is recommended to steer clear of offensive or exclusionary terms. Instead, opt for alternatives that are more suitable and self-explanatory.

Copyright

All publishing activities at EduRE strictly adhere to international copyright legislation, ensuring the protection of both authors and EduRE. EduRE publishes articles under open access, utilizing the CC BY-NC-ND license. Upon acceptance of an article, authors are obligated to complete a "License Agreement."
