Ethical Principles and Publication Policy

IJESOS is a biannual, open-access, peer-reviewed academic journal publishing in the fields of Education and Social Sciences. A double-blind peer review system is implemented. In cases of conflicting referee reports (one acceptance, one rejection), the final decision rests with the editors.

IJESOS strictly adheres to anti-predatory publishing policies. Research articles submitted for screening via plagiarism detection software must show a similarity rate of no more than 20% (excluding references). Manuscripts exceeding this limit will be rejected. Exceptions may be made for thesis summaries, book reviews, and translations, provided sources are properly cited. It is the author's responsibility to upload the plagiarism report and ensure compliance with these limits.

Manuscripts submitted to IJESOS must not be published previously or be under consideration elsewhere. By submitting, authors agree to transfer copyright and publication rights to IJESOS. Authors are not entitled to royalties or fees. Published articles are licensed for use with proper attribution to IJESOS and the author(s).
