Quality Assurance
The texts are reviewed in three stages. First, the manuscripts are evaluated by the editors. Those manuscripts that they find relevant according to the above criteria are then reviewed independently by two anonymous reviewers independently. The editorial board appoints the reviewers, who then compile their comments according to a review plan and send them to the editorial board (utbildning-och-larande@du.se), which in turn shares their comments with the authors. In the third and final stage, when the manuscript is accepted by the reviewers, the editors conduct a final evaluation before the submission is accepted.
