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. Use the drop-down menu items to check the submission guidelines – e.g. the typographical styles and physical layout of the paper, 'House rules' etc, and how to submit to EJOLTs for review and publishing. Please note that all submissions go through a similar three-stage review process:

1. Double-blind review
2. Open review
3. Editorial Board review for the final decision to publish.
