Peer Review Process

ELT ECHO: The Journal of English Language Teaching in Foreign Language Contexts conducts a peer review process and promotes a double-blind review. The editorial team decides each article's acceptance and rejection based on the review results. The steps for the reviewing process are:

1. Manuscript submission (by author)

2. Manuscript check (by the editor-in-chief or managing editor).
At this step, the editor-in-chief or managing editor will decide if the manuscript is suitable for the journal by asking questions such as: has the author followed the journal’s guidelines? Is this the right journal for this article? Will the journal’s readers find it interesting and useful? The editor might reject the article immediately, but otherwise, it will move to the next step. Prior to further processing steps, a plagiarism check using Turnitin is applied for each manuscript.
