To be considered for publication, submissions must exhibit significant originality and make substantive contributions to advancing theory, research, or practice in the international teaching and teacher education field.Authors whose manuscripts have a more limited scope or address issues pertinent to a specific disciplinary, national, or regional audience are encouraged to submit their work to journals specialising in these areas.
