This journal is a semi-annual journal published in June and December. The main aim of this publication is to create a platform for publishing reviews, original articles, research results, and case studies related to guidance techniques, counseling programs, innovation in guidance and counseling, and contemporary professional counselors. Still, editors may consider accepting articles from other countries with interesting discussion contexts related to guidance and counseling.

A manuscript submitted is evaluated through Initial Review by the Editorial Editor in Chief/Managing Editor. If the article matches the journal requirements regarding the scope, originality, novelty sufficiency of experimental data, and format, at least 2 (two) peer reviewers are assigned to review the manuscript with the Double-Blind Peer Review Process. After the review process, the assigned editor decides on the article. If the article needs revision, the manuscript is returned to the authors for revision. After that, the Editor in Chief decides (whether accepted or rejected). In each manuscript reviewed, peer reviewers will be rated based on the substantial and technical aspects.
