Philosophy & Guidelines:

Educational Insights, an on-line, open access, peer reviewed educational research journal, is an innovative evocative provocative intertextual space for engaging in new dialogues of enRapturing con/texts and reimagined spaces of pedagogy, inquiry, and interdisciplinarity. Our intent is to encourage a community that honours difference and polyphony, while sharing a vision of pedagogy, education, inquiry as spaces of challenge and hopeful conversations.

We are currently seeking contributions from ground-breaking educators, curriculum researchers, and scholars, as well as other informed observers from across disciplines and from a variety of educational and cultural experiences.

We welcome thoughtful and imaginative works for consideration. Our notion of an enRaptured con/text is one which seeks to perform and interpret text as broadly as possible; we hope to receive and publish work in various media, including pieces which would be difficult or impossible to include in a traditional print journal. Descriptions of works in progress are encouraged. We would be happy to collaborate with you in shaping the final presentation. We welcome your contributions, and look forward to working with you.

Authors can elect to indicate whether they are submitting their on-line manuscript as an article, an essay, a work of poetic and/or artistic reflection, or a book review. It is the policy of EI to consider for publication only works that are not simultaneously being considered elsewhere.

Copyright of all articles and work published belong to Educational Insights. On receiving a written request by an author(s) wishing to publish his or her same article or work elsewhere, permission will be granted by Educational Insights provided acknowledgement for first publication in Educational Insights, including volume and issue numbers, is given. Copyright of all other materials belongs to Educational Insights unless requested otherwise and as indicated in the journal issue.

  1. Length and Format: Contributions should range between 1500- 5,000 words with an additional abstract of not more than 200 words. The format for citations, endnotes, and reference should conform to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (Latest Edition). To facilitate online publishing, endnotes are used instead of footnotes. All electronic submissions to Educational Insights should be saved as Rich Text Format (rtf).
     
  2. Images: We would like to receive images in digital form. Images should be saved in JPEG format. Only copies or photos of original images or art should be sent to us. Copyright laws must be respected.
     
  3. Multimedia Content (Videos & Audio): Sound files should be saved as AIFF, AAC or MP3. We would like to receive video data in digital form. Video files should be saved as Quicktime, MPEG or MOV. All media content sent by mail should be copies only. Copyright laws must be respected.
     
  4. Editorial Process: Contributions will be initially viewed by the Academic Editor and then forwarded to our editorial team for peer review. Contributors whose work has been recommended for acceptance will then correspond with an assigned editor should revisions be required.
