The Educational Journal of Living Theories is a free-access and open-access journal solely published online. Papers are now published on the site as soon as they have successfully gone through the review processes and been accepted by the Editorial Board for publication. The paper should be between 5,000 and 12,000 words in extent (excluding title and abstract but including references, appendices, footnotes, acknowledgements). Keep in mind that the shorter the paper the more likely it is to be read. Submitted papers should be of an appropriate scholarly standard for publication in an academic journal. They should include distinguishing qualities of a Living Educational Theory research methodology and / or make a contribution to the field of Living Educational Theory research. Practitioner-researchers are encouraged to submit accounts that include multimedia narratives and include other non-textual forms of expression. Accounts need to include a clear communication of the values that form the explanatory principles and evaluative standards of judgment. All accounts submitted for publication undergo a rigorous peer review, based on an initial editor screening followed by a double-blind review carried out by a minimum of two referees.

To submit your paper, please send two MS Word (.doc or .docx) or Open Office (.odt) files as attachments to an email to the EJOLTs editor, including a note that includes your details as communicating author. One file should be 'anonymised' ready for blind review; the other file should be the full paper and include the author/s' affiliation/institution, ORCID iD/s and email/s.
