Article Types
The Journal of Innovation in Education, Technology, and Sustainability (JIETS) welcomes high-quality scholarly contributions that advance knowledge and evidence-based practices within the journal's focus and scope.
The journal considers the following manuscript categories:
1. Original Research Articles
Original Research Articles present novel empirical, experimental, computational, or design-based findings that contribute substantially to the advancement of knowledge.
Submissions may employ quantitative, qualitative, mixed-methods, experimental, quasi-experimental, computational, or other appropriate research designs.
Recommended length: 5,000–8,000 words, excluding references and supplementary materials.
Suggested structure: Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion, and Conclusions, with adaptations appropriate to the study design.
2. Systematic Literature Reviews and Meta-Analyses
These articles provide rigorous, transparent, and reproducible syntheses of existing research addressing clearly defined research questions.
Systematic reviews should use a documented search strategy, explicit eligibility criteria, systematic screening and extraction procedures, and appropriate synthesis methods.
Meta-analyses must clearly report effect-size calculations, statistical models, heterogeneity assessments, and relevant sensitivity analyses.
Applicable reporting standards, such as PRISMA 2020, should be followed.
Recommended length: 6,000–10,000 words, excluding references and supplementary materials.
3. Critical and Integrative Review Articles
Critical and Integrative Review Articles offer comprehensive, analytical, and theoretically informed assessments of existing scholarship.
These articles should move beyond descriptive summaries to identify conceptual developments, methodological limitations, research gaps, theoretical tensions, and directions for future research.
The selection and synthesis of literature must be transparent and appropriate to the review approach.
Recommended length: 5,000–9,000 words, excluding references and supplementary materials.
4. Methodological and Conceptual Papers
These manuscripts introduce, refine, critically evaluate, or validate innovative theoretical frameworks, methodological approaches, research instruments, models, or analytical techniques.
Submissions must demonstrate clear scientific novelty, conceptual coherence, and relevance to the journal's scope.
Conceptual papers must present a substantive scholarly argument rather than speculative commentary.
Methodological papers should provide appropriate justification, demonstrations, validation, or other evidence supporting their contributions.
Recommended length: 4,500–8,000 words, excluding references and supplementary materials.
5. Policy and Impact Evaluation Studies
Policy and Impact Evaluation Studies investigate the development, implementation, effectiveness, consequences, or sustainability of educational, technological, environmental, or interdisciplinary interventions and policies.
These studies should use systematic analytical methods and provide evidence-based conclusions relevant to research, policy, or practice.
Recommended length: 5,000–8,000 words, excluding references and supplementary materials.
General Requirements
All manuscripts must:
- Fit the journal's focus and scope
- Present an original scholarly contribution
- Demonstrate methodological or conceptual rigor
- Comply with research and publication ethics
- Be written in clear academic English
- Include appropriate declarations and references
