The International Journal of Academic and Practical Research (IJAAPR) is the official bi-annual journal published by the Academic Course Tutorial Online Education Inc., Philippines, two times a year (one volume per year), in May and November. Being an internationally peer-reviewed open-access journal, IJAAPR adopts the double-blind review process wherein the reviewer/s and the author/s do not know each other’s identities. Articles that do not follow the IJAAPR rules, do not use the journal’s template, have a similarity of more than 20%, deal with a single dependent variable, and are longer than necessary will not be evaluated.

The IJAAPR is dedicated to advancing knowledge by publishing outstanding research in a variety of fields. It upholds the policy that each paper must pass the requirements of an independent, double-blind peer-reviewing system and editing for the publication to be considered of high scientific and academic quality. This international peer-reviewed open access journal was initiated as a result of the primary advocacy and intention of the founding editor-in-chief to acknowledge the research outputs of senior high school students as well as the research of public and private school teachers and undergraduate and graduate students in order to have a wider distribution of the articles that others may use for their own respective studies.
