Information for Authors 

 About the Journal

Journal of Educational Research in Mathematics (JERM) is an international, peer-reviewed journal publishing high-quality, original research. Please see the journal's Aims and Scope for information about its focus. JERM has a fully web-enabled review system with straightforward log-in and submission procedures.

 Submission and Peer Review

Manuscripts can only be submitted online at

https://www.jerm.or.kr . If you encounter any difficulties while submitting your manuscript online, please get in touch with the information. It is the submitting author’s responsibility to indicate the corresponding author in the online system, especially when the first author is not the corresponding author.

JERM follows a double-blind reviewing procedure. When manuscripts are first submitted, authors must avoid self-identifying citations and references in the manuscript, just like the example from the JERM template. Authors are responsible for reinserting their names, affiliations, and self-identifying citations and references when manuscripts are prepared for final submission.

Once your paper has been assessed for suitability by the editor, it will then be double blind peer reviewed by independent, anonymous expert reviewers via the JERM website, https://www.jerm.or.kr/. The editor-in-chief can ask authors to revise their manuscripts based on reviewers' comments. For those submitted manuscripts that do not follow the submission guidelines, the editorial board can decide to reject the manuscript to be reviewed in the journal.

 Ethical Guidelines and Originality 

All manuscripts should comply with the ethical guidelines of the Korean Society of Educational Studies in Mathematics, which are aligned with the APA’s ethical principles of psychologists and code of conduct

(https://www.apa.org/ethics/code).

Submission of an article implies that the manuscript has not been published elsewhere and is not currently under consideration for publication by another journal. Dual submission and publication are strictly prohibited in this journal.

 Copyright

A copyright transfer form will be sent to the author. All authors must sign the ‘Transfer of Copyright’ agreement before the article can be published. This transfer agreement enables the Korean Society of Educational Studies in Mathematics to protect the copyrighted material for the authors.
