PEER REVIEW PROCESS
We use a double-blind system for peer review: The identities of both reviewers and authors remain anonymous. Each submitted manuscript is peer reviewed by at least two experts. In some rare cases, we may start a third round of peer review according to the recommendations from editors and reviewers.
Recruitment for Reviewers
Participation in the peer-review process is absolutely essential to the success and reputation of the journal. Reviewers and editors determine which works are of quality and significance. Due to our extensive readership, the research and scholarship selected by our reviewers will ultimately have an impact on literacy in national and international classrooms.

Ethics and Integrity
Authors are expected to adhere to ethical standards in research and publication. Manuscripts should:
- Acknowledge all sources and avoid plagiarism.
- Include any necessary approvals for studies involving human subjects, if applicable.
- Disclose any potential conflicts of interest.
NALANS adheres to the guidelines set by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) to ensure integrity in all aspects of publication.
Peer Review Process
NALANS employs a rigorous double-blind peer review process. At least two independent experts review each manuscript. The review process typically includes the following steps:
- Editorial Preview-Check: Initial assessment by editors to ensure fit with journal scope and standards.
- Editor Assignment: Assignment of reviewers based on expertise.
- Double-Blind Review: Review and recommendations, which may lead to acceptance, revisions, or rejection.
Average review time is approximately (time, e.g., 8 weeks).

The authors are required/encouraged to follow the “review discussions” section rather than writing repetitive emails. The authors are notified about any drawbacks or technical issues via the announcement section.
