Who Can Submit?

Anyone may submit an original article to be considered for publication in the Holistic Education Review provided they own the copyright to the work being submitted or is authorized by the copyright owner or owners to submit the article. Authors are the initial owners of the copyrights to their works, unless the authors have, as a condition of employment, agreed to transfer copyright to their employer. There are no fees for authors to publish in the journal.

General Submission Rules

Submitted articles cannot have been previously published, nor be forthcoming in an archival journal or book (print or electronic) without permission of prior publisher. Please note: "Publication" in a working-paper series does not constitute prior publication. In addition, by submitting material to Holistic Education Review, the author is stipulating that the material is not currently under review at another journal (electronic or print) and that he or she will not submit the material to another journal (electronic or print) until the completion of the editorial decision process at Holistic Education Review. If you have questions about the submission terms for the Holistic Education Review please contact the Production Editor at journal@holisticeducationreview.org.

Review Process for Peer Review Articles

The majority of HER academic submissions undergo a double-anonymized peer-review process, which means that both the reviewer and author identities are concealed from the reviewers, and vice versa, throughout the review process. The results of the review will be returned to the author with one of four responses: unconditional acceptance, acceptance pending minor revisions, acceptance pending major revisions, or not accepted. In certain cases, another type of peer review process may be used including single-anonymized, open, and/or collaborative peer review. 

Formatting Requirements

Initial submission of articles to the Holistic Education Review should be as a Word document, with body of text in 12pt. Calabri, 1.5 spaced, using American Psychological Association (APA), 7th edition format and style. Please observe a 7 page length limit for peer review articles.
