Author Guidelines

Authors are invited to submit original manuscripts that have not been published previously and are not under consideration by any other journal. SPATIA: Educational Journal accepts original research articles, and conceptual papers that contribute to the advancement of educational theory, policy, and practice. Manuscripts should be written in clear, scholarly English and demonstrate originality, methodological rigor, and relevance to the journal's aims and scope. All submissions must comply with ethical standards in research and publication, including proper citation of sources and disclosure of any potential conflicts of interest.

Manuscripts should be prepared using the journal's template and follow the prescribed formatting requirements. A typical article should include a title, abstract, keywords, introduction, research methodology, results, discussion, conclusion, acknowledgements (if applicable), and references. Authors are encouraged to use recent and relevant scholarly literature, preferably from reputable international journals, and to ensure that all references are formatted according to the latest edition of the APA 7^th citation style. Tables, figures, and illustrations should be clearly presented, appropriately numbered, and cited within the text.

All submitted manuscripts undergo an initial editorial screening to assess their suitability for the journal, followed by a double-blind peer-review process conducted by independent reviewers. Authors may be requested to revise their manuscripts in response to reviewers' comments before a final publication decision is made. By submitting a manuscript, authors confirm that the work is their own, that all listed authors have approved the submission, and that the manuscript complies with the journal's publication ethics and editorial policies. Only manuscripts that meet the journal's scientific and ethical standards will be accepted for publication.
