Our vision is “Disseminating our knowledge in an inclusive society.”
Scope of the Journal
The International Journal of Studies in Inclusive Education (IJSIE) (e-ISSN: 3008-1866, p-ISSN: 3008-1858) is a double-blind, peer-reviewed, fully open-access journal providing an advanced platform and opportunities for inclusive education-related research outputs. The accreditation of the IJSIE often ensures that it adheres to ethical publishing practices, employs a rigorous peer-review process, and contributes to advancing inclusive education practices. These include the Inclusive Teaching Strategies, which focus on research on effective methods and approaches for teaching diverse student (learners) populations, including those with disabilities or special educational needs. The Policy and Implementation involve studies that examine policies, frameworks, and practices that support inclusive education at various educational levels. The Educational Equity focuses on the research that addresses issues of equity and access in education and how inclusive practices can bridge educational disparities. The Curriculum Development deals with insights into designing curricula that cater to diverse learning needs and promote inclusivity. The Teacher Training and Professional Development focuses on evaluations of training programs and professional development initiatives that prepare educators (teachers) to implement inclusive practices. The Student Outcomes focus on the research of the impact of inclusive education on students' (learners') achievement, social development, and overall well-being. The Assistive Technologies focus on studies of the use and effectiveness of assistive technologies in supporting inclusive education. The Family and Community Involvement focuses on the research of the roles of families and communities in supporting inclusive education practices. The Cultural and Contextual Factors focus on how different factors influence the implementation and effectiveness of inclusive education.
Empirical, conceptual, academic, and theoretical articles critically analyzed and interpreted in their holistic approach to inclusive education are welcome.
Influential trends towards responsible research and innovation, the globalization of research, the emergence and inclusion of new or previously excluded stakeholders, and the advent of open science are reshaping the scope and nature of scholarly publishing.
The IJSIE defines inclusive education within the broad context of the Salamanca statement guidelines. Special Education has within its heritage the perspectives of advocating for persons with exceptionalities and embracing individual differences.

Therefore, the IJSIE aims to provide insights and advances in creating educational environments where all students, regardless of ability or background, have the opportunity to succeed. The IJSIE supports critical conversations concerning inclusion, multicultural issues, democratic ethics, and democratic schools. Scholars’ voices are encouraged to engage in these conversations by writing scholarly articles, reviews, research, and reports. Similarly, academic scholars must submit their high-quality pre-service teachers' work addressing these issues. Articles representative of a variety of disciplinary bases are more than welcome.
