Policies

Open Access Policy

IJPE provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge. There are no fees involved. Authors don’t have to pay a fee for publishing and readers don’t have to pay a fee for getting access to the articles.

Peer Review Policy

All papers will be evaluated at least by one editor and two reviewers. The review process is single blind for the editor (the editor know who the authors are), and double blind for the reviewers (neither authors nor reviewers know each other’s name or affiliations).

Research Integrity

IJPE adheres to the best practices in the ethics of scholarly publishing stated in the COPE’s (Committee on Publication Ethics) Code of Conduct and Best Practice Guidelines for all parties involved: Authors, Reviewers and the Publisher. If you have questions or concerns regarding research integrity or publishing ethics in this journal, you may contact the editor.
