Manuscript Types

JDMP considers scholarly manuscripts that offer a substantive contribution to educational management, educational leadership, or educational policy. The following categories are eligible for editorial consideration:

1. Original Research Article: A report of original empirical research using quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods, including comparative research, surveys, evaluations, and case studies.
2. Review Article: A rigorous synthesis of existing scholarship, including systematic, scoping, or integrative reviews, with a transparent search and selection approach appropriate to the review type.
3. Conceptual or Theoretical Article: A critical examination, development, or integration of concepts, models, or theoretical perspectives with an explicit scholarly contribution.
4. Educational Policy Analysis: A reasoned analysis of the formulation, implementation, effects, or evaluation of education policies and governance arrangements.
5. Scholarly Case Analysis: An analytically grounded examination of an educational organisation, management intervention, or leadership practice with implications beyond the individual case.

Submission does not guarantee external review or acceptance. The editors may consider invited editorials or other scholarly content at their discretion; such content must be clearly identified and must not be presented as externally peer-reviewed if it has not undergone that process.

Authors should select the most suitable article section in the submission system and follow the current journal template and author guidelines. The editorial team may reclassify a submission when appropriate.
