We welcome submissions in three distinct categories: 
Research Articles, Features, and Bytes

1. Research Articles (Double-Anonymized Peer Review) 

Research Articles are scholarly contributions that explore theoretical, empirical, or methodological issues related to the integration of artificial intelligence in education. Submissions should aim to advance understanding of AI’s educational potential, challenges, and ethical implications.

Topics may include, but are not limited to:

-AI-powered pedagogy and adaptive learning
-Equity and access in AI-enhanced education
-Generative AI and assessment practices
-Ethics of AI in classrooms
-Faculty and educator professional development in AI
-AI literacy and curriculum development
-Data governance, policy, and student privacy

Submission Expectations:

  • Scope: Articles should present original research with a clear rationale, detailed methodology, analysis, and discussion of implications for educational theory and practice.
  • Structure: Submissions should include an abstract, keywords, introduction, literature review, conclusion, references. (Optional others: methods, results/findings, discussion, etc.). Sections/headings are recommended but not required.
  • Format: Adherence to current APA style is required.
  • Word Count: Between 4,000 and 6,000 words, including references.
  • Abstract: 200–350 words outlining the study’s aims, methods, and key findings.
  • Keywords: 3–6 relevant terms to facilitate indexing and discoverability.

Review Process:
All manuscripts in this category undergo double-anonymized peer review. The identities of both authors and reviewers are concealed throughout the process to ensure impartial evaluation. Submissions are assessed on rigor, originality, clarity, and relevance to the field of AI in education.

Publication:
Accepted manuscripts will be featured in the journal’s “Research” section following editorial and peer review revisions.

We will have a decision as expeditiously as possible following review.

2. Features

Features are practice-oriented contributions that bridge theory and classroom or institutional practice. They are typically written in a more accessible style and may address instructional, organizational, or policy-based perspectives.

Example Features: Interviews / Lesson plans / Pedagogy guides / Professional Development / Workshop / Policy materials (Attachments encouraged) / Practitioner features / Lesson Plans / Thought pieces / Reflections

Submission Expectations:

  • Scope: Contributions should focus on practical applications, instructional strategies, professional learning, or reflections on experiences with AI in educational settings.
  • Format: Submissions may use a range of written forms (e.g., narrative, instructional outline, report), provided they communicate clearly and coherently to an educational audience.
  • Word Count: Between 800 – 2,000 words.
  • Summary: An up to 100-word abstract should accompany the submission, highlighting its purpose and main contribution.

Publication:
Features will be published in sections such as “In Practice” or similar, at the discretion of the editorial team.

3. Bytes

Bytes are concise, focused pieces designed to communicate specific insights, reflections, or commentary on timely issues in AI and education. They are intended to spark dialogue or draw attention to emerging considerations.
