Publication Terms and Fees

The International Journal of Educational Sciences and Arts (IJESA) is committed to maintaining high standards through peer reviewing alongside the adopted ethical policies. Any violations of professional ethics, such as plagiarism, fraudulent use of data, and false authorship claims, affect the editors’ decision regarding the publication of the research.

There are no restrictions on the type of research that can be published in the International Journal of Educational Sciences and Arts (IJESA), as the journal adopts an expanded publication policy to provide an opportunity for all types of research to be published. Accordingly, research may be of the following types: literature review, improvement of an existing methodology, innovation of a new methodology, practical framework, case study, comparative study, analytical study, applied study, etc.

Given the importance of time for all researchers, the International Journal of Educational Sciences and Arts (IJESA) collaborates with a group of distinguished editors and peer reviewers who have sufficient expertise, technical skills, and tools to accelerate the review and publication process as much as possible. This process often takes from one to three weeks at most.

The International Journal of Educational Sciences and Arts (IJESA) follows the following steps:

1. The research must be submitted as a Word file by one of the researchers (authors) via the journal’s email [email protected]
2. The researcher must attach to the email a copy of the researcher declaration form after filling it out manually and signing it in order to begin the peer review procedures. (To obtain the researcher declaration form … click here)
3. The editor informs the researcher of receipt of the paper. Submissions will not be accepted from anyone other than one of the authors.
4. Upon receiving the paper, the editor verifies that the paper conforms to the journal template format, that all research components are complete, that it falls within the journal’s scope, and that there is no plagiarism, in order to make a preliminary decision of acceptance or rejection.
5. In the case of preliminary acceptance of the paper by the editorial office, the editor informs the researcher.
6. Then two reviewers are assigned to begin the review process according to a Double-Blind Peer Review system, so that the reviewers do not know the name of the researcher or the names of the researchers.
7. Acceptance is granted when both reviewers provide positive recommendations.
8. If reviewers provide comments, the author must make the revisions and submit a revised version for reevaluation.
9. Then the publication fee is paid, in the event of final acceptance for publication. After that, a certificate of acceptance for publication is issued.
10. The paper is published in the upcoming issue of the journal.

The International Journal of Educational Sciences and Arts (IJESA) publishes research written in both Arabic and English. It collaborates with editors and reviewers from many universities around the world in various disciplines. Researchers should follow the journal template (as much as possible), so that the format and content of the submitted paper comply with the following conditions:

1. The paper must meet the following formatting requirements:
   • For page margins:
     The left and right margins should be 0.9 
     the top margin 1.8
      and the bottom margin 1.2
   • The font throughout the paper should be Times New Roman
   • The Arabic title should be font size 18, Bold, and in English 16, Bold, with spacing after it set to 12
   • The researcher’s name should be font size 14, Bold, and the researcher’s identification details and email should be font size 12, with spacing after the email set to 12
   • Line spacing should be 1 or single throughout the text
   • Paragraph spacing should be 6
   • Main headings should be font size 14, Bold; subheadings 12, Bold; and the rest of the text and reference list should be font size 12
   • Figure captions should be below the figure and font size 10
   • Table captions should be above the table and font size 10; text inside the table should be font size 10
   • Figures, diagrams, photographs, and maps should be clear and easy to read.
   • The pages of the paper, including figure pages, appendices, tables, and footnotes, should be numbered consecutively from the first page to the last page.
   • The number of pages of the paper, including figures, diagrams, and appendices, should not exceed (40) pages, except in cases deemed necessary by the editorial board.
   • For referencing: the journal adopts the American Psychological Association (APA) system, which is commonly used in scientific publishing across universities and research centers, or any other referencing system such as (Harvard), provided that the reference formatting style is consistent throughout the paper.
2. The sections that should be covered in the scientific papers submitted to the journal:
   • Some research papers may include the following sections:
     Introduction, importance of the study, problem statement, study objectives, study questions, study hypotheses, study limitations, study methodology, previous studies, study instrument and procedures followed in the study, results, study recommendations, list of references or sources.
   • The sections of the paper may differ from one paper to another, depending on the topic and type of the research.

The researcher should try to comply with these conditions as much as possible, noting that the journal has a specialized team that reviews formatting errors and corrects them without affecting the content, and achieves the final formatting without any additional financial charges.

APA referencing is widely used in scientific research, and below we will summarize its most important guidelines for formatting the reference list:

1. The references in the reference list should be numbered sequentially, while taking into account that the references are arranged alphabetically in the list by author name.
2. If the reference is a journal article, the following should be written: the researcher’s name (researchers’ names) starting with the family name, “title of the article,” journal name, volume number, issue number, page numbers, year of publication.
3. If the reference is a book, the following should be written: the author’s name (authors’ names) starting with the family name, book title, publisher name, year of publication.
4. If the reference is a master’s or doctoral thesis, the following should be written: the thesis author’s name starting with the family name, “title of the study,” stating whether it is a master’s or doctoral thesis, university name, year.
5. If the reference is a bulletin or statistical report issued by an official body, the following should be written: the body name, report title, city, page numbers, year of publication.
6. If the reference is a website, the following should be written: author name, topic title, year of publication, electronic link, date of last visit to the link.
7. If the reference is a conference paper, the following should be written: the researcher’s name (researchers’ names) starting with the family name, study title, conference name, volume number, page numbers, year of publication.
