The publication process entrusts Advanced Education journal editors with upholding the highest ethical standards. Their ethical obligations include:

Confidentiality: Editors must ensure the confidentiality of the peer-review process and refrain from disclosing manuscript details without author permission.

Conflict of Interest: Editors should request peer reviewers to disclose any conflicts of interest and use this information judiciously.

Citations: Editors should only request authors to add citations when a strong scholarly rationale exists.

Reviewer Selection: Editors may ask authors for peer reviewer recommendations or, conversely, to exclude specific individuals from reviewing their paper.

Quality Control: Editors should monitor the performance of peer reviewers and avoid using reviewers who provide poor-quality, tardy, abusive, or unconstructive reviews.

At Advanced Education, we are committed to upholding the highest ethical standards in academic publishing. This section outlines our policies and practices to address a range of ethical concerns that can arise throughout the publication process.
