Intercultural Education considers all manuscripts on the strict condition that they have been submitted only to Intercultural Education, that they have not been published already, nor are they under consideration for publication or in press elsewhere. Authors who fail to adhere to this condition will be charged with all costs which Intercultural Education incurs and their papers will not be published.

Contributions to Intercultural Education must report original research and will be subjected to review by referees at the discretion of the Editorial Office.

Manuscript Guidelines

1. General Guidelines

• Any consistent spelling style is acceptable. Use single quotation marks with double within if needed. 
•  Articles should be original. Should any material overlap with the material which the author has published elsewhere in a language other than English, this should be made clear when the article is submitted.

• This journal requires a short paragraph of bibliographical details for all contributors.
• For all manuscripts non-discriminatory language is mandatory. Sexist or racist terms should not be used.
