Authors and reviewers remain anonymous. Common manuscript types in this category include, but not limited to:<br /><strong>-</strong> Empirical studies using quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods<br />- Systematic reviews, meta-analyses, scoping reviews, and methodological reviews<br />- Theoretical or conceptual papers that propose or extend frameworks relevant to educational research<br />- Method-focused empirical studies, e.g. simulation studies, instrument validation, secondary data analysis<br />- Policy or practice-oriented research that includes analytical depth and methodological rigor</li> </ul> <ul> <li><strong>Methodological tutorials, book/digital media reviews, invited reviews, and letters</strong>:<br />These manuscripts are reviewed by the Editor-in-Chief (EIC) and/or members of the editorial board. They are often technical or instructional, intended to improve research practices in education. This editorial review process allows for fast, expert-based, and context-sensitive feedback. Some journals indexed in <em data-start="473" data-end="481" data-is-only-node="">Scopus</em> also adopt this approach for similar genres. Although this type of review differs from double-blind peer review, the EIC strictly follows editorial ethics and maintains transparency in all decisions. <em data-start="682" data-end="687">JRM</em> also openly welcomes comments and critiques from readers on manuscripts published in these categories to support scholarly dialogue and ongoing refinement.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Indexing<br /></strong>JRM is indexed by the <strong>Thai-Journal Citation Index (TCI)</strong> since 2013 and the <strong>ASEAN Citation Index (ACI)</strong> since 2015.
