Focus and Scope

International Journal of Research Studies in Education (IJRSE) is an international, open-access, peer-reviewed, and multidisciplinary journal that publishes high-quality research related to education. The journal welcomes qualitative case studies, quantitative experiments and surveys, mixed-method studies, action research, systematic and scoping reviews, meta-analyses, and scholarly discussions of conceptual, theoretical, methodological, and policy issues. IJRSE aims to provide an inclusive scholarly platform through which both emerging and established researchers may publish and share their work with the international academic community. Its scope is deliberately broad in terms of educational levels, research topics, methodological approaches, and disciplinary perspectives. The journal publishes studies that advance understanding of teaching, learning, leadership, policy, assessment, curriculum, and other educational processes and outcomes in pre-primary, primary, secondary, tertiary, graduate, adult, community, and lifelong education. IJRSE particularly encourages cross-national, international, comparative, culturally responsive, and locally grounded research that is relevant to scholars, educators, policymakers, practitioners, and other stakeholders. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • teaching, learning, curriculum, and assessment;
  • educational leadership, administration, policy, and governance;
  • teacher education and professional development;
  • educational psychology, guidance, counseling, and student well-being;
  • educational technology, digital learning, and artificial intelligence in education;
  • inclusive, special, indigenous, and multicultural education;
  • language education, literacy, multilingual education, and language policy;
  • Filipino language education, Filipino literature and culture in education, translation, curriculum development, and the intellectualization and scholarly development of the Filipino language;
  • comparative and international education; and
  • educational research methodology and evaluation.

Language of Publication

IJRSE accepts manuscripts written in either English or Filipino. Manuscripts written fully in Filipino are welcomed and are evaluated according to the same standards of academic quality, originality, ethical integrity, relevance, and methodological rigor applied to manuscripts written in English. To improve international discoverability, database indexing, citation, and access by readers outside the Philippines, manuscripts written in Filipino are encouraged to include an English title, abstract, and keywords, together with their Filipino-language equivalents. Authors may also be requested to provide English translations of other bibliographic information when necessary for indexing and publication. Accepted articles written in Filipino undergo the same editorial and peer-review procedures as English-language articles. They are published as regular scholarly articles and receive the same publication information and services, including a permanent Digital Object Identifier (DOI), subject to the journal’s standard publication policies. Through this inclusive language policy, IJRSE supports the production and dissemination of scholarly knowledge in Filipino while connecting Filipino-language scholarship with wider national and international academic communities.

Policy Basis for Filipino-Language Scholarship

IJRSE’s acceptance and promotion of scholarly manuscripts written in Filipino is consistent with Article XIV, Section 6 of the 1987 Philippine Constitution, which supports the continuing development and use of Filipino, and Republic Act No. 7104, which encourages research and the writing and publication of original scholarly works in Filipino and other Philippine languages. The journal contributes to these objectives by providing Filipino-language research with a peer-reviewed, internationally accessible, and permanently identifiable publication platform.

Declaration of Artificial Intelligence Use

All manuscripts submitted to IJRSE must include a declaration concerning the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and AI-assisted technologies. This requirement applies to all submissions, regardless of whether such tools were used.

When AI or AI-assisted technologies have been used, authors must clearly identify:

  • the name of the AI tool or application;
  • the purpose for which it was used;
  • the stage or stages of the research and manuscript preparation in which it was used; and
  • the extent to which the AI-generated or AI-assisted output was reviewed, verified, and revised by the authors.

Disclosable uses may include, but are not limited to, idea development, literature searching, translation, language editing, manuscript drafting, summarization, data analysis, computer coding, transcription, preparation of tables or figures, and image generation or modification.

Authors remain fully responsible for the originality, accuracy, integrity, appropriate citation, and ethical compliance of all submitted content. Authors must independently verify any information, references, analyses, interpretations, or other materials produced with the assistance of AI. The use of AI does not transfer or reduce the responsibility of the human authors.

AI tools and AI-assisted technologies may not be listed as authors or co-authors because they cannot assume responsibility or accountability for the submitted work, approve the final manuscript, disclose conflicts of interest, or enter into publication agreements.

The declaration should appear in a separate section entitled Declaration of AI and AI-Assisted Technology Use before the reference list.

Authors who used AI may follow this format:

Declaration of AI and AI-Assisted Technology Use: During the preparation of this manuscript, the author(s) used [name of tool and version, if available] for [specific purpose]. The author(s) reviewed, verified, and revised the resulting output and accept full responsibility for the content of the published article.

Authors who did not use AI must include the following statement:

Declaration of AI and AI-Assisted Technology Use: The author(s) declare that no generative artificial intelligence or AI-assisted technologies were used in the research, writing, analysis, or preparation of this manuscript.

Failure to disclose the use of AI or AI-assisted technologies may be treated as a matter of research and publication ethics.

Author Contributions

All manuscripts must include an Author Contributions statement that clearly identifies the contributions of each listed author. The statement should be based on the Contributor Roles Taxonomy (CRediT), which recognizes the following contributor roles:

  • Conceptualization;
  • Data curation;
  • Formal analysis;
  • Funding acquisition;
  • Investigation;
  • Methodology;
  • Project administration;
  • Resources;
  • Software;
  • Supervision;
  • Validation;
  • Visualization;
  • Writing – original draft; and
  • Writing – review and editing.

Authors may be assigned more than one role, and the same role may be assigned to more than one author. However, all persons listed as authors must have made a meaningful scholarly contribution to the work and must accept responsibility for the parts of the work to which they contributed.

The corresponding author is responsible for ensuring that the contribution statement accurately represents the contributions of all authors and that every author has reviewed and approved the statement and the final version of the manuscript. Contributors who do not satisfy the journal’s authorship requirements should be recognized in the acknowledgments section rather than listed as authors.

The statement may follow this format:

Author Contributions: Conceptualization, A.A. and B.B.; methodology, A.A.; investigation, B.B. and C.C.; formal analysis, C.C.; data curation, B.B.; writing – original draft, A.A.; writing – review and editing, A.A., B.B., and C.C.; visualization, C.C.; supervision, B.B.; project administration, A.A.; funding acquisition, B.B. All authors have read and approved the final version of the manuscript.

For a single-authored manuscript, the following format may be used:

Author Contributions: The sole author was responsible for the conceptualization, methodology, investigation, analysis, writing, review, and final approval of the manuscript.
