Submitting to EJOLTs

EJOLTs publishes two main types of paper:

  1. Research that uses Living Educational Theory Research principles and practice to generate the researcher's own living-educational-theory.
  2. Theoretical papers that contribute conceptually or methodologically to the field of Living Educational Theory.

Published accounts usually take the form of a standard academic paper but academic posters will also be considered.

Full details of the EJOLTs publishing Criteria are given here.
