Overview

korean language education research employs a rigorous peer review process to ensure the quality and integrity of published research. All submitted manuscripts undergo a thorough evaluation by experts in the relevant field.

Review Process

1. Initial Screening
   Upon submission, manuscripts are first reviewed by the editorial office to ensure they meet the journal's scope and submission requirements.
2. Editorial Assessment
   The Editor-in-Chief or Associate Editor evaluates the manuscript's suitability and assigns it to appropriate reviewers.
3. Peer Review
   Each manuscript is reviewed by at least two independent experts in the field. Reviewers evaluate the manuscript's originality, methodology, results, and conclusions.
4. Editorial Decision
   Based on reviewers' recommendations, the editor makes a decision: accept, minor revision, major revision, or reject.
5. Revision and Re-review
   Authors may be asked to revise their manuscript. Revised manuscripts may undergo additional review if necessary.

Double-Blind Review

korean language education research uses a double-blind peer review process. This means that both the reviewers and authors remain anonymous throughout the review process to ensure impartiality and objectivity.

Reviewer Guidelines

Reviewers are expected to:

• Provide objective, constructive, and timely feedback
• Maintain confidentiality of the manuscript
• Declare any conflicts of interest
• Assess the manuscript's scientific merit, originality, and methodology
• Identify any ethical concerns or potential misconduct

Review Timeline

We aim to complete the initial review process within 4-6 weeks of submission. However, this may vary depending on reviewer availability and manuscript complexity.

Appeals

Authors who wish to appeal an editorial decision may submit a written appeal to the Editor-in-Chief. Appeals should provide a detailed response to the reviewers' comments and a clear justification for reconsideration.
