Language Policy

Pedagogical Perspective (PedPer) (eISSN: 2822-4841) accepts manuscripts exclusively in English. Authors may use either British English or American English spelling and style conventions; however, they must apply one style consistently throughout the manuscript.

1) Language Standards

Manuscripts submitted to PedPer must:

  • use clear, precise, and academically appropriate language;
  • follow standard rules of English grammar, usage, and scholarly writing;
  • avoid unnecessary jargon and unexplained foreign terms (unless essential to the context);
  • demonstrate fluent, coherent, and professional expression suitable for an international audience.

2) Language Editing

Authors are strongly encouraged to have manuscripts language-edited prior to submission, especially if English is not their first language. Language editing can be performed by a professional service or a proficient English speaker.

3) Post-Acceptance Language Proofreading (Free of Charge)

As part of the journal’s pre-publication quality assurance process, all manuscripts accepted for publication in Pedagogical Perspective (PedPer) undergo language proofreading. This support is provided free of charge via Paperpal by Editage to improve clarity and consistency in language use, spelling and grammar, and overall academic style prior to publication.

This step is conducted after acceptance and does not influence peer-review decisions. Authors may alternatively obtain proofreading from another professional service, provided that the final version meets the journal’s language standards.

4) Editorial Screening

Submissions that do not meet the journal’s language standards may be returned to authors for language revision before peer review or may be declined at the editorial screening stage if language issues prevent a fair and efficient evaluation.
