peer review process
|
Participation is open to undergraduate and postgraduate students of education programmes to Masters level. STER does not publish PhD research. Students and graduates can participate if they currently writing a dissertation, or if they have submitted their dissertation within the last three years. All research included in STER must be on a topic related to education. Where students have completed empirical research, they must have received and complied with ethical approval from their home institution.
|
All submissions undergo a double-blind peer review process. After a first draft of the article is submitted, it is anonymised and sent to the student peer-review team. Each article is reviewed by two student reviewers and one staff reviewer. A written feedback report is sent to the author, with the aim of enhancing the overall quality of the submission. The STER team reserve the right to not publish articles that are below the quality necessary for publication. Alternatively, and if agreed by the team and the author, additional rounds of review can be accommodated.
