Publication Schedule

The Journal of Curriculum Innovation and Assessment (JCIA), published by Research Journals Online (SMC-Private) Limited, follows a biannual publication schedule designed to provide a consistent, high-quality platform for scholarly research in curriculum design, educational innovation, and assessment methodologies. This schedule allows the journal to maintain academic rigor while responding to the evolving needs of educators, researchers, and policy-makers.

  • Issue 1: January – June

  • Issue 2: July – December

The journal emphasizes the timely dissemination of research findings to ensure that new insights in curriculum innovation and assessment practices are accessible to the academic and professional community without delay.

Manuscripts are accepted on a rolling basis throughout the year. Submissions that cannot be accommodated in the upcoming issue will automatically be considered for the next scheduled issue, ensuring continuous engagement with the journal. Early submissions may receive priority during the editorial screening and peer review stages, which can facilitate faster publication timelines.

JCIA also supports Online First Publication, where accepted manuscripts may be published online ahead of their inclusion in a formal issue. This practice allows researchers and educators early access to new findings, fostering prompt application of research in practical and policy contexts.

The journal is committed to maintaining a reliable and predictable publication timeline, upholding a rigorous peer-review process, and ensuring the highest standards of scholarly excellence. Authors are encouraged to align their submission planning with this schedule to maximize the visibility and impact of their research.
