HOW

Aims & Scope

About the Journal Focus and Scope How is a biannual publication led by ASOCOPI, the Colombian Association of English-language teachers. It is a journal by and for teachers of English who wish to share outcomes of educational and research experiences intended to add understanding to English language teaching practices. Therefore, the journal falls within the field of education and, specifically, the teaching and learning of English as a second or foreign language. Peer Review Process All submissions follow a double-blind review process, that is, the identity of authors is never revealed to reviewers throughout the review process and vice versa. On the whole, the evaluation process lasts four months approximately. First, each manuscript is sent to two reviewers who can accept, decline, or suggest that the manuscript be revised and resubmitted. In case the evaluations of the two reviewers are at variance, the following is a summary of the steps that will be taken: Evaluation 1: Accept Recommendation: Revise and resubmit Evaluation 2: Revise and resubmit Evaluation 1: Decline Recommendation: Decline Evaluation 2: Revise and resubmit Evaluation 1: Accept Recommendation: Send to a third reviewer. The two concepts (out of the three) that are similar at the end of the evaluation process will be used to decide whether to accept or decline the manuscript. Evaluation 2: Decline If an article requires major changes, it will be returned to the author with the recommendation: revise and resubmit. The author will be given three weeks to revise the manuscript; failure to comply with this deadline will result in the manuscript being considered as a new submission. Once the revised version is received it will be sent to the two original reviewers (or the third one, if applicable) for their final evaluation. The editing process will start once the article is accepted after having been read by members of the editorial committee and the advisory board. Authors should be ready to revise
