INFEDU uses a distributed handling model. Manuscripts are screened by the Editorial Office and the Editor‑in‑Chief / Deputy Editor‑in‑Chief / Associate Editor(s). External peer review is coordinated by Associate Editors (Handling Editors) appointed by the Editor‑in‑Chief / Deputy Editor‑in‑Chief.

Editorial Board
The INFEDU Editorial Board is an international advisory body of recognised scholars in informatics and education. Editorial Board members may review but do not routinely act as handling editors unless appointed for a specific manuscript. INFEDU publicly lists board members and affiliations, maintains a fair editorial process in which decisions are based on scholarly merit and fit to the journal’s scope, and requires clear disclosure and management of potential conflicts of interest (including recusal and reassignment when needed) in line with widely recognised transparency and ethics frameworks and the DIAMAS Diamond Open Access quality guidance. Editorial Board members provide subject expertise and strategic guidance to the Editor‑in‑Chief and editorial team, support the journal’s rigorous peer‑review and research‑integrity standards, and act as ambassadors for high‑quality, inclusive scholarship.
