The Journal of Socio-Educational Dynamics (JSED) is committed to advancing the interdisciplinary exploration of the intricate relationships between society, education, and the multifaceted dynamics that intertwine them. Our mission is to provide a robust platform for scholars, educators, policymakers, and professionals to share groundbreaking research, foster meaningful discourse, and contribute to informed decision-making in socio-educational realms.
Peer Review Process:
At JSED, we uphold the highest standards of academic integrity and rigor. To this end, all submissions undergo a thorough double-blind peer review process. In this system, both the reviewers and the authors remain anonymous to each other, ensuring an unbiased and impartial review. The process aims to provide constructive feedback, enhancing the quality and depth of the research presented.
Manuscripts are first assessed for their alignment with the journal's scope and basic scholarly standards. Those deemed suitable are then reviewed by at least two experts in the relevant field. Based on the feedback received, the editorial team makes a decision—be it acceptance, revision, or rejection—and communicates this to the authors along with the reviewers' comments.
We believe that this rigorous double-blind peer review process guarantees the excellence of the articles published in JSED, reinforcing our commitment to the academic community and the broader public we serve.

Understanding and using journal metrics
Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication. However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to support and not replace qualitative review.
We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.
For more details, please read the Author Services guide to understanding journal metrics.
Journal metrics in brief
Usage and acceptance rate data above are for the last full calendar year and are updated annually in February. Speed data is updated every six months, based on the prior six months. Citation metrics are updated annually mid-year. Please note that some journals do not display all of the following metrics (find out why).
Usage: the total number of times articles in the journal were viewed by users of Taylor & Francis Online in the previous calendar year, rounded to the nearest thousand.
Citation Metrics
