If you are interested in reviewing manuscripts for the International Journal of Teacher Leadership (IJTL), please e-mail the editors at ijtl@csupomona.edu and attach an abbreviated 2-page vitae/resume that briefly includes education background, professional background, areas of expertise, courses taught, and topics that you are interested in reviewing.

Reviewers’ Obligations

1. If a reviewer does not feel qualified to review the manuscript, or lacks the time to judge the manuscript thoroughly, she or he should immediately notify the journal’s editors.
2. A reviewer must judge the quality of the manuscript on its own merit respecting the intellectual independence of the author(s).
3. A reviewer must treat a submitted manuscript as a confidential document.
4. Unpublished information contained in a submitted manuscript should not be used in a reviewer’s research or otherwise disseminated.
5. A reviewer must explain and support judgments adequately, so that the editors and author(s) may understand the basis for the evaluation.
6. If a reviewer sees any substantial similarity between the manuscript under consideration and any published paper (e.g., plagiarized material, a similar manuscript appearing in another journal) or has reason to suspect the accuracy of the research data, the reviewer must notify the editors and include appropriate citations.

Review Process

Manuscripts will be acknowledged by the editors upon receipt. Manuscripts submitted electronically will be initially reviewed by the editors. Manuscripts that meet the purpose, aim, and scope of IJTL will be routed to three reviewers who are experts in varied fields’ representative of teacher leadership and methodologies for external, blind, and peer review. Reviewers evaluate the manuscripts, complete, and return the Manuscript Review Form in 4-6 weeks. Upon completion of the reviews, the editors will read the manuscript and all related commentary, consider the recommendations made by the reviewers, and then relay the decision to the authors via electronic mail.

Reviewers

Reviewers may include professors, teachers, administrators, leaders, trainers, specialists, and graduate students with relevant expertise in the review process.
