Guidelines and Policies

The Education Digest accepts submissions written in either Filipino or English, including research articles (action, basic, and applied research), review papers, and other scholarly works.

The research article should present the results of novel research in education and SDGs, which was not published in any form. It must have 6,000 to 7,000 words: ABSTRACT, Keywords, INTRODUCTION, METHODOLOGY, RESULTS and DISCUSSION, CONCLUSION and RECOMMENDATION, and REFERENCES. An APPENDIX may be required for the instruments used.

The review paper should cover defined topics or particular topics of interest related to education and SDGs. It must contain an ABSTRACT, Keywords, INTRODUCTION, METHODOLOGY, DISCUSSION (THEMES), CONCLUSION and RECOMMENDATION, and REFERENCES with 6,000 to 7,000 words. An APPENDIX may be required for the matrix of literature/studies reviewed.

Submissions must follow strictly the journal template and all authors must sign the cover letter with the copyright transfer and open access agreement (see Submissions).

Education Digest adheres to the American Psychological Association style and grammar guidelines. 

 All articles submitted to the journal will be initially evaluated to determine their appropriateness for the journal and conformity to the publication requirements. Preliminary assessment may take at least two weeks.

Submissions that meet the initial standards will proceed for review. The journal uses a strict double-blind peer-review process, ensuring that the author's and reviewer's identities are anonymous. At least two reviewers will evaluate each manuscript on its novelty and rigor. Based on the reviewers' recommendations, the manuscript may be accepted in its original form, revised with major or minor corrections, resubmitted for another review round, or declined or rejected for its inappropriateness to the journal and publication standards. The reviewers are given two to four weeks to complete their review.

Authors whose articles are returned for revisions or resubmissions are expected to submit them within two weeks. 

Education Digest does not charge any article submission, processing, or publication charges.

Outputs with similarity and an AI index greater than 5% will be returned to the corresponding author for revision. The submission will be declined if it does not meet the required indices during resubmission. Authors are not allowed to submit more than one paper in an issue. Changes in authorship (addition/deletion/reordering) is not allowed once the paper is submitted.

Any concerns, complaints, or comments must be addressed to the Editor-in-Chief through the Managing Editor by sending a letter to journalmanager@clsu-ced-education-digest.com for appropriate and immediate action.
