Editorial Leadership
Founding editorial structure
Founding Editor-in-Chief
Dr. Javad Rezazadeh Yazdeli
The Editor-in-Chief is responsible for the journal’s scholarly direction, editorial independence, peer-review integrity, policy development and the composition of the founding editorial board.
Editorial Board
Subject editors
Future appointments should broaden disciplinary coverage across education, learning, assessment, language education and related fields.
Methodological coverage
The board should include expertise across quantitative, qualitative, mixed-methods and theoretically oriented research.
International distribution
Board construction should avoid one-institution concentration and should reflect genuine international participation rather than symbolic geography.
The international editorial board is being constituted. No scholar will be listed until that individual has explicitly accepted an editorial role. This page will therefore remain intentionally incomplete rather than presenting unconfirmed affiliations or names.
Conflict management
Editorial decisions involving the Editor-in-Chief’s own manuscripts, close collaborators or other material conflicts will be delegated to an independent handling editor once the board is formally constituted.
Expertise, representation and appointments
The intended board structure will reflect the journal's specific areas of educational inquiry, including measurement and assessment, teacher development, language education, curriculum and materials, research methodology, and the ethical implications of digital learning. Appointments must reflect verifiable scholarly expertise and an actual willingness to perform the editorial responsibilities associated with each position. International representation must be substantive rather than a decorative list of institutional affiliations.
Before public listing, prospective members should confirm their name, rank, institution and country, relevant publication record, areas of editorial competence and consent to the role. The journal will not imply endorsement by an institution merely because a member is employed there. Reviewer service alone does not confer membership of the editorial board.
Independent decisions involving editors
Manuscripts authored by the founding editor, editorial-board members or close collaborators must be assigned to an independent handling editor. No conflicted person may select reviewers, inspect confidential reports outside their authorised role, or influence the decision. The handling process will be disclosed appropriately if such work is eventually published.
The international board remains in formation, and no unconfirmed members are displayed. Prospective collaborators can review the founding editorial call and the peer-review model.
