Author Guidelines

EduPATH Journal is seeking submissions of previously unpublished manuscripts on any topic related to the area of education, teaching and learning, and teacher professional development. Articles should be written in a manner that they are accessible to a broad audience of language educators, including those individuals who may not be familiar with the particular subject matter addressed in the article. While we encourage authors to publish in English, we welcome manuscripts written in Bahasa Indonesia as well.  The journal publishes 2 general issues per year, June and November. Once published, all articles are directly downloadable for free from the EduPATH Journal Open Access Journal (OJS) site. There are no article processing charges and no publication fees.  On occasion EduPATH Journal also publishes special issues on a broad range topics of relevance to education. The managing editor will notify the prospective authors regarding the Call for Papers on special issues.
