Aims & Scope

Aims

The ICCK Transactions on Educational Data Mining (TEDM) is an international, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing research, innovation, and applications in educational data mining (EDM) and its intersections with learning sciences, artificial intelligence, and educational technology. The journal provides a forum for researchers, practitioners, and policy makers to disseminate cutting-edge methodologies, theoretical contributions, and practical solutions that leverage data-driven approaches to enhance teaching, learning, and educational outcomes.

Scope

The scope of the Journal includes, but is not limited to:

• Learning Analytics and Student Modeling: Predictive modeling of student performance, behavior analysis, dropout prediction, adaptive learning, and personalized education

• Algorithms and Methodologies: Novel machine learning, data mining, deep learning, and fuzzy systems applied to educational data

• Multi-Source and Multi-Modal Data: Integration of heterogeneous educational data, including online learning systems, sensor data, clickstreams, assessments, and natural language interactions

• Intelligent Tutoring and Recommender Systems: Data-driven approaches for personalized feedback, adaptive testing, and content recommendation

• Educational Assessment and Evaluation: Automated grading, knowledge tracing, competency modeling, and fairness in educational predictions

• Human–AI Interaction in Education: Explainability, interpretability, and ethical issues in AI-driven educational systems

• Applications and Case Studies: Real-world applications of EDM in schools, universities, MOOCs, workplace training, and lifelong learning contexts

• Emerging Topics: Continual learning, graph neural networks in education, causal inference, and the role of generative AI in teaching and learning

Subscription-based articles: For articles published under the subscription model, authors are required to transfer the copyright to the journal. Readers can access these articles through institutional or individual subscriptions. In addition, the journal designates a number of subscription-based articles as Free to Read, which allows unrestricted online reading without subscription fees.

Open access articles: For articles published as open access, authors retain the copyright of their work. These articles are distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License (CC BY 4.0), which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original author and source are properly cited. Authors may also self-archive the final published version in institutional repositories, personal websites, or other platforms without embargo.

Editorial Board

The Journal is guided by an Editorial Board consisting of recognized experts in the field. For the complete list of Editorial Board members, please refer to Editorial Board.

Peer Review

The journal adheres to rigorous peer review and undergoes single-blind peer review. For more details, please refer to Editorial Process and Peer Review Policy.

Editorial Process

All manuscripts submitted to TEDM should adhere to the journal's Editorial Process.

Plagiarism

Plagiarism detection is performed at ICCK using the iThenticate- Crossref Similarity Checking tool. This web-based tool is employed in the editorial process to identify potential text plagiarism. It's important to note that while iThenticate can identify matching text, it cannot independently determine whether plagiarism has occurred. Manual examination of the matching text is still necessary, and judgment must be exercised to ascertain the presence or absence of plagiarism. The similarity report might be sent to the author for revision whenever needed.

Publication Ethics Statement

ICCK is responsible for implementing rigorous peer review and strict ethical policies and standards to ensure that high quality scientific work is added to the field of scholarly publishing. ICCK takes such publishing ethics issues very seriously, and our editors are trained to enforce COPE's Core Practices and Guidelines, with a zero-tolerance policy for plagiarism, data falsification, and other behaviours. To verify the originality of content submitted to our journals, we use iThenticate/Crossref Similarity Check to check submissions against previous publications.

Advertising

The journal does not accept any commercial product advertisements until policy changes otherwise.

Direct Marketing

Journal propagation has been done through the journal website and distribution of an introduction pamphlet. Invitations to submit a manuscript are usually targeted towards presenters at conferences, seminars, or workshops related to the journal's aims and scope.
