Submission Statement

Submission

of a manuscript implies that the work described has not been published

before, nor under consideration for publication anywhere else; that its

publication has been approved by all co-authors, if any.

Peer Review Policy

All

IJTS publications have been through rigorous peer review, and their

quality have been assessed by independent peers within the field. IJTS

enforces “double blind” reviewing, in which the referees and the authors

remain anonymous to each other. The handling editors conduct a

preliminary review of all submitted manuscripts and only those that meet

the minimum criteria will be passed on to at least two expert referees

for formal reviewing.

Whenever

possible, referees are matched to the manuscript according to their

expertise. Referees are asked to provide an assessment of the various

aspects of a manuscript:

Context: Is the context of research explicitly and fully explained?

Originality

and significance: Is it original as to thought and method (including

data)? Does it clearly add to the knowledge and development of the

field?

Data

and methodology: Is it methodologically sound? Is the reporting of data

and methodology sufficiently detailed and transparent?

Results: Are results clearly presented? Is there appropriate use of statistics and treatment of uncertainties?

Conclusions: Are conclusions and data interpretation robust, valid and reliable?

References: Does it correctly and exhaustively reference previous relevant work?

Ethics: Does it follow appropriate ethical guidelines?

The handling editors then make a decision based on the reviewers' advice, from among several possibilities:

Accept upon minor revisions

Accept upon major revisions

Reject, but indicate to the authors that further work might justify a resubmission

Reject outright, typically on grounds of lack of novelty, insufficient conceptual advance or major technical problems

The

time required for the review process depends on the response of the

referees. The typical time for the first round of the refereeing process

is approximately 4-6 weeks, with a maximum of three months.

A

final decision to accept or reject the manuscript will be sent to the

author along with the recommendations made by the referees.

Style Guide

Authors preparing manuscripts for submission to International Journal of TESOL Studies are required to follow the style guide.

Language

The

journal is published in English. Both American and British styles are

acceptable, as long as the paper uses one style consistently (i.e., not

mixing American and British style in the same paper).

The paper's English should be free of errors.

Key formatting issues

The main text should be in 12-point Times New Roman and Multiple 1.2 line-spaced.

Block

quotations (over 35 words) should be in 10-point Times New Roman and

single-spaced. Also, they should be left and right indented.

No footnotes may be used. Use endnotes if necessary. Endnotes placed after main text, before references.

The

first line after a chapter title and a section heading must not be

indented; all subsequent paragraphs must be indented at 1/2 inches

(i.e., 1.27 cm).

Block justified paragraphs throughout (not left justified).

Do not space twice at the end of a sentence. Only one space needed.

No space after or before paragraphs

Title

The title should not exceed 15 words.

The title of the article should be in 14-point bold Cambria.

Should not exceed 250 words.

include any information that might identify the authors. The main text

file should be presented in the following order:

(1)Title, abstract and key words;

(2)Main text (with Tables and Figures complete with captions and legends);

(3)Endnotes (if relevant);

(4)Appendices (if relevant);

Level 1: left, bold, capitalize each word.

Level 2: left, bold, capitalize the first word.

Level 3: left, italics, capitalize the first word.

Tables

must be referenced and discussed/ interpreted in main text

a blank between table number and table caption

Format:

Table 1

Heading in with Initial Letters in Capitalization, Except for Articles and Short Prepositions

Table lines: only make visible top, bottom, and heading horizontal lines, no vertical lines, no cell horizontal lines

Figures

include good quality figure image as a separate file in jpg or tiff format

must reference figure in main text

center figure image in paper

image must be in good quality

a blank between figure number and figure caption

References (APA style, 7th edition)

In-text citation: e.g., (Graham, 2018). If specific information or direct quote is given, it must be cited with author‟s

last name, year, and a page number: e.g., (Graham, 2018, p. 10). If

more than one author: e.g., (Martin & White, 2005) or (Martin &

White, 2005, p. 123).

Use block quote for citations longer than 40 words. E.g., According to Halliday (1978),

[quote without quotation mark, text flushed left 3/8 inches and flushed right

3/8 inches] (p. 15)

References: List all references after the main text and endnote if there is an endnote.
