About the Journal

Aims and Scope

The International Journal of Science Education and Teaching (IJSET) invites the submission of original research, academic papers, and review articles that advance the field of science pedagogy. We seek contributions addressing a broad range of themes, including:

  • Science, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology Education

  • Technology and STEM Education

  • Science Teacher Education and Professional Development

  • Early Childhood Science Education

  • Science Curriculum Development and Instructional Design

  • Other related and interdisciplinary science educational fields.

Important Notes for Authors

  • Clearly state whether AI tools were used in the research or manuscript preparation, and explain how they were used
  • References must follow APA style
  • Cite only relevant and essential references
  • Please beware of fake citations, especially when using AI tools

Peer Review Process

To maintain the highest scholarly standards, all submissions to IJSET must be original works that have not been previously published or are not currently under consideration elsewhere. The evaluation process follows these steps:

  1. Editorial Pre-assessment: Every manuscript is initially screened by the Editor to ensure it aligns with the journal’s scope and quality standards.

  2. Double-Blind Review: Suitable papers are forwarded to at least three independent experts for a rigorous double-blind peer review, ensuring the anonymity of both authors and reviewers.

  3. Final Decision: Based on the reviewers' recommendations and consultation with the Editorial Board, the Editors will determine if a paper is to be accepted, requires revision, or is rejected.

IJSET’s Plagiarism Policy

The International Journal of Science Education and Teaching (IJSET) places great importance on academic integrity and the prevention of plagiarism. All submitted manuscripts are subject to systematic plagiarism screening to ensure originality and ethical scholarly practice.

Every original manuscript submitted to IJSET is automatically checked using the CopyCatch system (Copyright, Academic Work and Thesis Checking System). In addition, manuscripts may be further examined using Turnitin or other recognized plagiarism detection tools when deemed necessary.

Beyond automated similarity checks, the editorial board and peer reviewers also conduct careful evaluations to identify potential issues related to plagiarism, improper citation, excessive similarity, or unethical use of published or unpublished works.

Manuscripts found to contain plagiarism, self-plagiarism, or unacceptable levels of similarity will be rejected or returned to authors for revision, in accordance with IJSET’s editorial policies and international publication ethics.

Archiving and Long-term Preservation Policy

The International Journal of Science Education and Teaching (IJSET) is committed to ensuring the long-term preservation and accessibility of its published content.

All articles published in IJSET are preserved through the PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN), a distributed digital archiving system that provides long-term preservation for journals hosted on the Thai Journal Online (ThaiJO) platform, which is based on Open Journal Systems (OJS).

This preservation service ensures that journal content remains secure, accessible, and available to the scholarly community even in the event that the journal is no longer published or the hosting platform becomes unavailable.

Repository and Self-Archiving Policy

At present, the International Journal of Science Education and Teaching (IJSET) does not have a formally defined repository or self-archiving policy.

Authors who wish to deposit versions of their work in institutional or other repositories are advised to contact the editorial office for guidance.

IJSET may develop and publish a formal repository policy in the future in line with international publishing standards.
