Journal of Educational Computing Research
Classroom Applications of Technology | ICT | STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics)
The Journal of Educational Computing Research (JECR) is a peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary scholarly journal dedicated to advancing knowledge and critical understanding of educational computing. The journal publishes high-quality research reports and critical analyses that address the intersection of educational theory, technological innovation, and practice. By fostering dialogue between theorists and practitioners, the journal aims to shape the evolving landscape of educational computing research and its application in diverse learning environments. The journal welcomes contributions in four primary areas of research:
- The impact of educational computing technologies on learning processes and outcomes. This includes but is not limited to cognitive development, learner engagement, pedagogical strategies, and educational equity, drawing insights from disciplines such as social, behavioral, physical, and computational sciences.
- The design, development, and evaluation of innovative computer hardware and software aimed at enhancing learning in formal and informal educational settings. This includes adaptive learning systems, immersive simulations, educational games, and other interactive digital tools.
- The synthesis, analysis, and interpretation of research in educational computing, including meta-analyses, systematic reviews, and studies with significant implications for shaping policy and practice.
- The ethical, social, and global consequences of educational computing technologies and their impact on learning. This encompasses issues such as digital equity, accessibility, data privacy, student surveillance, cultural inclusivity, and the responsible development and use of educational computing innovations.
The journal takes a broad view of the terms “education” and “computing.” “Education” refers to computer-based learning across formal education systems, business and industry training, home-schooling, lifelong learning, and informal or unintentional learning environments. “Computing” encompasses a wide range of digital tools and technologies, from mobile and ubiquitous computing to artificial intelligence, machine learning, immersive 3D simulations, and virtual learning environments. Each issue features articles useful for practitioners and theorists alike.
This journal is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

JEC Instructions to authors
Originality: Only original articles are considered for publication. Submission of a manuscript represents certification on the part of the author(s) that neither the article submitted, nor a version of it has been published, or is being considered for publication elsewhere.
Abstracts of 100 to 200 words are required to introduce each article.
Format: Prepare manuscripts according to the latest Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association. See: http://www.apastyle.org/
You will be submitting two files through: https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/joecr.
(1) The Main Document file is a Microsoft Word file that contains the Abstract along with the manuscript text. The Main Document file also contains all of the figures and tables.
(2) The Title Page file is a Microsoft Word file that contains the title, running head, author name(s) and complete contact information.
During the submission process you will have an opportunity to submit other files, if any, containing any permissions that you gathered.
Footnotes are placed at the bottom of page where referenced. They should be numbered with superior Arabic numbers without parentheses or brackets. Footnotes should be brief with an average length of three lines.
Figures should be referenced in text and appear in numerical sequence starting with Figure 1. Line art must be original drawings in black ink proportionate to our page size, and suitable for photographing. Indicate top and bottom of figure where confusion may exist. Labeling should clearly identify all figures. Figures should be drawn on separate pages in the manuscript document and their placement within the text indicated by inserting:
-Insert Figure 1 here-
Tables must be cited in text in numerical sequence starting with Table 1. Each table must have a descriptive title. Any footnotes to tables are indicated by superior lower case letters. Tables should be typed on separate pages in the manuscript document and their approximate placement indicated within text by inserting:
-Insert Table 1 here-
Prepare the Main Document for anonymous peer review.
1. Text: The Main Document text must not contain any personally identifiable information.
2. File Properties: All personal identification information must be removed from the Properties area of the Main Document file. In Microsoft Word 2013 & 2016: File/Info/Check for Issues/Inspect Document/Inspect. [Complete directions for other Word versions are available via the Microsoft Word Help function. Type “remove hidden data” into the Help field.
3. File name: The file name must not contain any of the authors’ names.
Manuscripts containing personally identifiable information in the file name, text, or in the Properties area cannot be considered for publication.
