IJRSET seeks to strengthen the international visibility of Philippine educational technology scholarship by encouraging research that connects local educational experiences with broader theoretical, methodological, and practical discussions. The journal particularly values studies that offer insights relevant to developing and emerging economies, resource-constrained educational environments, and international comparative research. Research concerning Philippine educational settings should move beyond purely descriptive accounts by demonstrating clear theoretical, analytical, methodological, or practical contributions to educational technology knowledge and practice.
Publication Languages and International Visibility of Philippine Scholarship
Recognizing the importance of linguistic diversity, cultural identity, and locally grounded scholarship, IJRSET welcomes manuscripts written in English and Filipino. The journal particularly encourages Filipino-language research addressing educational technology, digital learning, instructional innovation, technology-supported education, and the sociocultural dimensions of digital transformation in Philippine educational settings. IJRSET acknowledges that valuable educational knowledge emerges from locally grounded teaching practices, community experiences, and research conducted within diverse linguistic and cultural environments. By providing opportunities for scholarly work to be published in Filipino, the journal seeks to promote linguistic inclusivity, preserve culturally relevant educational knowledge, and support the development of Philippine educational technology scholarship.
To enhance international accessibility and scholarly discoverability, authors publishing in Filipino are encouraged to include an English title, abstract, and keywords. These optional English-language elements can facilitate scholarly communication with international audiences and improve the discoverability of locally grounded research through academic search engines and indexing services, subject to their respective coverage and selection policies. Filipino-language manuscripts are expected to meet the same standards of originality, scholarly rigor, methodological quality, and peer review as English-language manuscripts. Appropriate linguistic and disciplinary expertise should be available to ensure fair and rigorous editorial evaluation. Through this initiative, IJRSET seeks to bridge Philippine educational experiences and international scholarship, promote culturally responsive educational technology research, and provide opportunities for Filipino researchers to contribute to global academic discussions while retaining their national language.
Policy Basis for Filipino-Language Scholarship
IJRSET’s support for scholarly publications written in Filipino is consistent with Article XIV, Section 6 of the 1987 Philippine Constitution, which provides for the continuing development and use of Filipino, and Republic Act No. 7104, which established the Commission on the Filipino Language and supports the development, preservation, and promotion of Philippine languages. By providing a peer-reviewed and internationally accessible publication platform, IJRSET contributes to the advancement of Filipino as a language of academic inquiry and scholarly communication.
Emerging Research and Contemporary Educational Technology Challenges
Recognizing the rapid development of digital technologies and their expanding role in education, IJRSET encourages research examining emerging opportunities and challenges associated with artificial intelligence, digital transformation, educational data, and technology-mediated learning. The journal particularly welcomes research that critically evaluates how emerging technologies influence student learning, learner agency, teacher roles, educational relationships, accessibility, equity, and educational quality. Studies examining human-centered artificial intelligence, responsible educational innovation, digital inclusion, and the sustainability of technology-enhanced educational systems are especially encouraged. IJRSET values research that goes beyond describing technology adoption or user satisfaction by examining educational processes, learning outcomes, pedagogical mechanisms, implementation conditions, and the broader implications of technological interventions.
Publication Policy: Themed Special Issues Only
IJRSET currently accepts submissions exclusively through organized, themed special issues. Individual or unsolicited manuscript submissions are not accepted. Each proposed special issue should comprise 8 to 12 scholarly papers addressing a clearly defined and coherent research theme within the journal’s scope. Special issues may focus on established or emerging educational technologies, artificial intelligence in education, technology-enhanced learning, digital inclusion, Philippine educational technology research, international comparative studies, or contemporary educational technology challenges. Proposals may be organized by academic institutions, research groups, professional associations, conference organizers, or collaborating scholars. Each proposal should identify a coherent research theme, its scholarly significance, and a guest editor or editorial team responsible for coordinating the collection. Manuscripts written in either English or Filipino may be included in approved themed special issues. All manuscripts remain subject to editorial evaluation, peer review, and the journal’s publication standards. Approval of a special-issue proposal does not guarantee acceptance of individual manuscripts.
