Ethics, Standards & Responsibilities
The Journal of Ongoing Educational Research (JOER) is committed to upholding the highest standards of academic integrity, quality, and ethical conduct. We believe that strong ethics not only safeguard the credibility of published research but also build trust among authors, readers, reviewers, and the academic community at large.
Publication Ethics
JOER seeks to publish high-quality research across education, psychology, learning sciences, and related fields. We follow recognized ethical standards, and expect all contributors—authors, editors, and reviewers—to adhere to these principles of fairness, transparency, and integrity.
Open Access Policy
JOER is an open-access journal, meaning all published papers are freely available to readers worldwide without subscription fees or login requirements. Articles can be read, downloaded, copied, shared, printed, or linked without restriction, provided the original authors are properly cited.
Responsibilities
Editors
Editors are responsible for ensuring fair and unbiased review processes. Decisions on submissions are made solely on academic merit and contribution to the field, independent of authors’ gender, religion, ethnicity, political beliefs, or institutional affiliation.
-
Fair review: Every manuscript is evaluated based on its scholarly quality.
-
Confidentiality: Editors handle all submissions confidentially and address ethical concerns with care and impartiality.
-
Misconduct handling: Suspected cases of plagiarism, unethical research practices, or misconduct are thoroughly investigated. Depending on severity, actions may include author notification, formal warnings, or escalation to institutional or funding bodies in line with COPE guidelines.
Peer Reviewers
Reviewers play a critical role in maintaining the quality of the journal.
-
Objectivity: Reviews should be constructive, impartial, and timely.
-
Confidentiality: Manuscripts must not be shared, saved, or discussed outside the review process.
-
Conflict of Interest: Reviewers should disclose any financial, institutional, or personal conflicts and recuse themselves when appropriate.
-
Quality assurance: Reviewers should flag significant overlap with previously published work and suggest improvements to strengthen manuscripts.
Authors
Authors are expected to follow ethical publishing practices and ensure integrity in their submissions.
-
Originality: Manuscripts must be original, unpublished, and not under consideration elsewhere.
-
Plagiarism: Authors must avoid plagiarism and properly credit all sources. Prior work that overlaps must be clearly cited.
-
Data integrity: Authors must retain and share research data when requested for verification.
-
Research ethics: Studies involving human or animal subjects must follow international standards (e.g., Declaration of Helsinki, EU Directive on Animal Use) and include documented ethical approval. Informed consent is required for human participants.
-
Corrections: If significant errors are discovered post-publication, authors must promptly notify the editors so corrections, errata, or retractions can be issued.
Additional Support Services
JOER offers optional services such as proofreading and English language editing upon request, available for a modest fee.
