The Editorial Board of the journal does not accept applications of articles for assessment and publication that do not follow the above submission requirements.

Research manuscripts are assessed by two reviewers, particularly experts in the field discussed in the paper. Throughout the entire procedure, the identities of both reviewers and authors remain anonymous. Authors should expect reviewers’ instructions on a submission within three months and resubmit their revised manuscript following the reviewers’ suggestions. Acceptance for publication of the revised manuscript is confirmed after the final checking by the Editorial Board Members. Additionally, the Editorial Board has the discretion to return a manuscript, even before sending it to the reviewers, in cases where a research manuscript is beyond the science field of the journal, or does not meet the submission requirements, or for any other reason.

All manuscripts should be submitted online via the following email address: [email protected]

Paidagogiki Epitheorisi does not consider for publication manuscripts already published or due to be published in another journal or any other type of publication.

Articles published in Paidagogiki Epitheorisi represent the opinions of their authors. The publication does not imply necessarily that the article represents the Editorial Board Members’ opinions.
