About EJOLTs

The Educational Journal of Living Theories (EJOLTs) is an international, peer-reviewed, online journal. It is the public face of Living Educational Theory Research. 

EJOLTs is a free access journal – free for authors to publish and free for all to read. The editorial Board of EJOLTs publishes papers that make scholarly contributions to the academic literature; all papers are based on inquiries informed by the practice and principles of Living Educational Theory Research. 

EJOLTs is published in English (as a global academic lingua franca) and also in the local language of the author, where they are able to provide a translation (Gujarati, Nepalese, and Hindi to date). Academic posters and book reviews are also published under the EJOLTs title.

EJOLTs was established by Jack Whitehead (University of Bath, UK) and Branko Bognar (University of Osijek, Slavonski Brod, Croatia) and was hosted on the Croatian university server. As a result, Slavonski Brod appears in older bibliographic information. That arrangement ended when the university's hosting arrangements changed. Since 2025, EJOLTs has been independently operated.

To make a contribution to values-led theory and practice around the world  – values that are at the heart of Living Educational Theory Research – intrinsic and life-enhancing values, such as justice, equity, freedom, compassion, courage, care and democratic evaluation.
