Editorial

Editorials are articles which usually respond to a topical issue and must be evidence based.

Requirements:

• No more than 4000 words
• ≤8 tables and/or figures
• Structured abstract
• At least 25 references

Review

Review articles should clearly state the purpose, scope, and guiding research questions. They must critically analyze and synthesize existing studies to provide new conceptual insights, frameworks, or directions for future research in engineering education.

Authors should specify the review type (e.g., systematic review or meta-analysis) and describe inclusion criteria, search strategies, and analytical methods in sufficient detail to ensure transparency. When conclusions depend on the quality of primary sources, the evaluation criteria must be clearly explained.

Each review article should include at least 20 references to ensure comprehensive coverage of the literature.

Inaugural Editorial

Perspective

Editorial & Opinion

This section provides a forum for timely perspectives and critical reflections on emerging issues in engineering education, including both editorials and opinion papers.

Editorials present concise commentaries on current developments or policy debates, either solicited or voluntarily submitted.

Opinion papers offer well-reasoned reflections, conceptual discussions, or informed viewpoints aimed at stimulating dialogue and advancing research or practice.

References are not mandatory but may be included when appropriate.

Research

Authors should clearly define their research questions, situate the study within the relevant literature, and ground their work in appropriate theoretical frameworks. Research design choices must be justified, and the methodology described in sufficient detail to ensure rigor and reproducibility.

For empirical studies, data analysis should support the interpretation of results, and conclusions should clearly articulate the study’s contribution to advancing research and practice in engineering education.

For conceptual or theoretical papers, arguments should be well supported by literature and present a coherent rationale that demonstrates their significance to engineering education.
