About the Journal

Focus and Scope

The Journal of Educational Theory and Practice is a refereed, open access e-journal that disseminates original research, theory, and best practice in open and distributed learning worldwide. JETP is available free-of-charge to anyone with access to the Internet, and there are no article submission or access charges for publication in this open journal.

The Journal targets both researchers and practitioners of open and distance education systems. It thus aims to improve the quality of basic and applied research while also addressing the need for this knowledge to be translated into polices and activities that improve educational opportunity for students and teachers.

 

Publication Frequency

JETP is published twice a year, with one issue released every six months. The journal may also publish special issues dedicated to significant themes, emerging areas of research, conferences, or collaborative projects.

Accepted articles may be published online ahead of their assigned issue when the journal’s continuous publication procedures permit. The journal may revise its publication frequency as its submission volume and editorial capacity develop.

Archiving

JETP is committed to the long-term preservation and accessibility of its scholarly content. The journal’s digital archiving arrangements are intended to ensure that published material remains available in the event of technical failure, interruption, or discontinuation of the journal.

Published articles may be preserved through institutional repositories and recognized distributed preservation services supported by the journal’s publishing platform. Authors are also encouraged to archive the published version of their work in institutional or subject-based repositories, with a complete citation and DOI link to the version of record.

Before publication, replace this paragraph with the names of the preservation services actually activated for the journal, such as the PKP Preservation Network, LOCKSS, CLOCKSS, or Portico.

Indexing

As a newly established journal, JETP is working toward inclusion in recognized scholarly discovery, abstracting, and indexing services. Applications will be submitted only after the journal meets the relevant service’s eligibility requirements and has established a consistent publication record.

The journal will provide accurate information about its indexing status and will not claim inclusion in any service before formal confirmation has been received.

The Journal Is Indexed

No indexing services should be listed until inclusion has been verified.
