Qubahan Education Journal (QEJ) provides authors, reviewers, readers, and other stakeholders with a transparent procedure for submitting complaints and editorial appeals.

Authors may appeal an editorial decision when they believe that a significant scholarly, factual, ethical, or procedural error materially affected the decision.

An appeal should:

• Identify the manuscript
• Clearly explain the grounds for appeal
• Address the relevant scholarly or procedural issue
• Provide supporting evidence where applicable

Where appropriate, the appeal should be evaluated by a senior academic editor who was not directly responsible for the disputed decision.

Complaints may concern:

• Editorial procedures
• Peer-review conduct
• Publication ethics
• Conflicts of interest
• Unreasonable delays
• Journal conduct
• Published content

Complaints are handled objectively, proportionately, and confidentially.

Submitting an appeal does not guarantee reversal of an editorial decision.
