Main characteristics of the EJULL
The European Journal of University Lifelong Learning is a journal that only accepts papers that are linked to University Lifelong Learning – if your work is not directly connected, you must make sure that you find this link and include it in your paper in the introduction and the conclusion at least. Papers that do not show this connection will not be accepted.
We are very strict in terms of length and content. Articles that are not well prepared and/or exceed the limit of words are returned to the author(s).
When revising your paper, you must always use the “tracking changes” tool. You can also add a separate document to explain to the Editorial Board how you have applied the changes recommended by the reviewers.
Editorial process
All research papers undergo a double-blind review. Innovative practice/short papers and discussion papers are reviewed by one of the editorial board members.
Full conference papers will be externally peer reviewed and those that are accepted will be part of the European Journal of University Lifelong Learning – EJULL.
