Research acceptance process
1. Submit the research to the journal: The researcher responsible for the correspondence sends the research by creating an account in the Education for Humanities platform online.
2. Formal evaluation: A member of the editorial board verifies the composition of the research according to the template of the Journal of Education for Human Sciences and according to the conditions and guidelines. At this stage, the quality of the research is not evaluated.
3. Editor-in-chief’s assessment: The editor-in-chief verifies that the research is suitable for publication in the journal and that the research is of interest and falls within the journal’s areas of competence to a sufficient degree. If this is not the case, the research will be rejected without being submitted for evaluation.
4. Plagiarism test: The research is tested in this step using the Turnit program to obtain the results of the search plagiarism. If this percentage is less than 20%, the research is sent for evaluation, and in the event that the results of this test are more than that, the research is rejected.
5. Submit the research for evaluation: The editor-in-chief sends invitations to people he thinks will be suitable evaluators for this research. These invitations are usually sent to two residents and until approval is obtained to evaluate the research with a sufficient number of them within a specified period of time.
6. Evaluators’ response to the research evaluation invitation: The evaluator reviews the research summary, and the evaluator assesses his expertise in the field of research and conflict of interests, on the basis of which a decision will be made to accept or reject the evaluation of the research.
7. Completing the evaluation process: The evaluator allocates time to read the research several times. The first reading is used to form a first impression of the work. If significant problems are found at this point, the evaluator may think they can refuse the research without further work. Otherwise, the research will be read several times, taking notes in order to build a detailed review of each point. Then, the evaluation report is submitted to the journal, with a recommendation to accept or reject the research, or to request corrections (usually flagged as major or minor) before it is reconsidered.
8. Viewing the evaluators’ report: The chief editor reviews the research evaluation reports that were sent by the evaluators before making a comprehensive decision. If the opinions of the evaluators varied greatly, it is possible for the editor-in-chief to send the research for evaluation by an additional evaluator before making a final decision.
9. The first decision: the editor-in-chief sends an e-mail to the researcher, including the research evaluation reports, as the name of the evaluator is unknown to the researcher.
10. The researcher sends a corrected copy of the research: The researcher must make the changes requested by the evaluator, and he must highlight these changes using color shading.
11. Final Decision: In the event of approval of the research and its publication, the researcher must pay the publishing fee. Later the search is sent to the page designer and then the publisher.
