Article proposals receive a response in maximum two weeks. Sometimes, the review team requests parts of the article to be redone, images to be resubmitted in better quality formats, the bibliography to be completed, or the abstract to be redone/ translated, before publishing or non-acceptance decision is made.
The decision about a manuscript is based only on its added value to the field of digital pedagogy, originality, clarity, and relevance to the journal’s scope and content.
