About the Journal

NExAIE Logo

NExAIE (Nexus AI & Education) is a premier international venue for the intersection of artificial intelligence, pedagogy, and disciplinary research. Hosted by the Kahveci Nexus, the journal serves as a bridge between high-level educational theory and the practical realities of the classroom.

I. Aims and Scope

We invite contributions from researchers, teacher-scholars, and practitioners across the following core areas:

  • Natural Sciences & STEM Practice: Best practices in Chemistry, Physics, Biology, and Earth Sciences, with an emphasis on the learning cycle and inquiry-based models (IBSE).
  • Science & Math Education: Research on conceptual understanding and the often-neglected affective dimensions of learning.
  • Curriculum & Instruction: Studies on instructional material fidelity and modernization through technology.
  • AI in General Education: Ethical integration of Generative AI and the development of Critical AI Literacy (CAIL).

II. Peer Review Policy: The AI-Augmented Hybrid Model

NExAIE operates under a unique AI-Native Peer Review Protocol designed for maximum transparency and speed:

  • AI-Generated Analysis: Specialized agents evaluate measurement integrity and statistical rigor (SEM, CFA, EFA).
  • Transparency: All AI prompts are version-controlled, tracked, and disclosed to authors.
  • Human Authority: Human Section Editors—world-class experts—retain the final "Accept/Reject" authority, providing the essential "sense-making" synthesis.
  • Pre-screening: Authors have access to our Preliminary AI Review Prompts to stress-test their work before formal submission.

III. Fast-Track Workflow & Open Science

  • 3-Day Processing: Chief Editorial team provides initial screening within 72 hours.
  • Monthly Publication: Ensuring timely dissemination of AI-related research.
  • Diamond Open Access: No subscription paywalls and No Article Processing Charges (APCs).

IV. Editorial Leadership

  • Chief Editor: Dr. Murat Kahveci (Kahveci Nexus)
  • Section Editorial Board: Currently onboarding an international panel of experts in Curriculum & Instruction, Applied Mathematics, and STEM Education for Volume 1, Issue 2.
