The journal welcomes a wide range of methodological approaches, including quantitative, qualitative, mixed-methods, design-based research, action research, and systematic or scoping reviews. Manuscripts must demonstrate conceptual clarity, methodological rigor, and relevance to current or future challenges in education.

GJERD particularly values submissions that are interdisciplinary, cross-cultural, or policy-oriented, and that promote thoughtful dialogue among scholars, educators, policymakers, and stakeholders. With a commitment to open knowledge and progressive change, GJERD aims to be a vital academic resource for rethinking and reshaping educational futures in a globally connected world.
