The focus is on innovations that have been systematically tested in practice and are based on pedagogical principles. We look to publish new ideas and innovations early, consequently the evidential support needed for the findings or recommendations would not necessarily be that normally expected for rigorous, fully mature research. All manuscripts are submitted electronically, desk reviewed, and then double-blind peer reviewed. We provide our published authors with widespread readership which comes from efficient processing and timely publishing online after final acceptance This approach ensures widest readership in the research and industrial communities and highest citing of the published works.
