Section Policies
Please note: For any type of research paper (Original Research Article, Brief Report, or Innovation Spotlight), the expectation is that evidence has been systematically gathered, using an appropriate amount of scientific rigour. Accordingly, whether a quantitative or qualitative approach is taken, all manuscripts submitted as Original Research Articles, Brief Reports, or Innovation Spotlights must include a “Method” section that describes the empirical approach, and a “Results” section that summarizes the findings. JIPE especially encourages submissions that include multiple forms of evidence (e.g., collected at multiple points in time, using multiple data collection instruments, and/or from multiple sources).
Submission Types
