Peer Review Process
The Journal for Critical Education Policy Studies (JCEPS) is a double-blind peer reviewed international scholarly journal. Before a manuscript is sent for review, each article is assessed by members of the editorial team to ensure that the manuscript is in keeping the aims and scope of the journal; submissions may be declined if they fall outside the scope of the journal. Appropriate manuscripts will then be forwarded to a memeber of the editorial team for assignment to peer review. Upon receipt of peer reviews, decisions on acceptance are made by the JCEPS editorial team.
Open Access Policy
JCEPS is an open access journal, provided through the generous support of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. Contents are immediately free to all upon publication of a journal issue. Back issues of the journal will be available open access as archived materials are moved to this system.
The International Conference on Critical Education
JCEPS is part of the network that hosts the annual International Conference on Critical Education (ICCE). For more than a decade ICCE has brought together critical educators to discuss Marxian/ist analysis in the field of education and to build networks of solidarity, support, and learning.
