Innovative Educational Research (INNER) (ISSN:3149-9813) is a double-blind peer-reviewed, open-access research journal dedicated to publishing scientific papers based on rigorous methodologies aimed at contributing to advancements across all areas of educational sciences.
INNER publishes original research articles that employ either quantitative or qualitative methodologies, offering significant contributions to current knowledge. This includes a broad range of empirical studies, such as the validation and/or adaptation of measurement instruments.
The journal also publishes theoretical papers, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and book reviews relevant to the field of education.

Accordingly, the journal promotes the reproducibility of studies and encourages authors to thoroughly disclose the research designs and analytical methods employed. Furthermore, the journal advocates for the sharing of data, methods, and materials to facilitate access for other researchers. INNER also recognizes the value of replication studies for the independent verification of research and is open to publishing such studies.
