Similarity threshold: “Papers
submitted to the International Journal of Instruction will be screened for
plagiarism using Turnitin/iThenticate plagiarism detection tools” (IJI does not state what the Turnitin cutoff score
is).
Submission process: An online submission but no tracking after that.
Journal Web Page Comments:
Handbook comments: What the journal says on their web page and what
they do are not the same. See the following: “We
don't normally ask any fee from international authors. The Journal
management has the right to change the article fee or not to charge articles
when it deems necessary.” So,
when you receive an email for 500 Swiss Francs, don’t be shocked. Also, IJI’s
journal template has little detail on how to prepare (except to say a maximum
of 17 pages is allowed - the web page says 15). On 2021.04.27 IJI stated they had received 7803 papers, from which, 1046 have been published (13.4%), with the same stat showing on 2021.06.14 unchanged. “Depending on the evaluation reports of the members of the
Editorial Advisory Board, articles are published or article evaluation
process takes approximately three months.” There is an online submission process, but you cannot track your paper
after that. However, email response is decent measured in less than 2 weeks.
Also note that the submission only allows one file so you cannot send them a
cover letter or your Turnitin report, with no verification email sent to the
submission account. Also, IJI now includes the following very strange
statement at the bottom of their emails: “Note: International
Journal of Instruction has a wide range of abstracting/indexing services.
However, the index services have the right of one-sided termination of the
contracts and not to publish any of the articles. Therefore, we do not accept
any responsibilities caused by indexing problems“. Overall, a very
strange journal to work with, with a difficult web site to use. There seems to also be a consistent pattern with IJI submission authors that
before their papers are accepted, the author will be sent 1-2 papers to review.
This journal practice is highly unique and rather odd in our opinion. Expect a
tall mountain to climb with your submission and over a year to see the final paper online. The following screen capture was taken 2021.06.14:
If you would like to be entertained, read the comments on the SJR/IJI portal.
Sample Papers:
IJI also has a hit counter for each issue, which is rather interesting as well.

Priority Needs Index (PNI)
The Priority Needs Index (PNI) was not created by Wongwanich and Wiratchai (2005), but rather, it was developed by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in the 1990s. The PNI was originally developed as a tool to identify and prioritize the needs of vulnerable populations in developing countries.
The
UNDP's PNI methodology was later adapted and modified for use in Thailand,
where it has been widely applied to identify areas of priority for development.
Wongwanich and Wiratchai (2005) were among the first researchers to apply the
PNI methodology in Thailand and to modify it to better suit the Thai context.
Therefore,
while Wongwanich and Wiratchai (2005) were not the creators of the PNI, their
work was important in adapting and refining the methodology for use in
Thailand. Since their original publication, the PNI modified has been widely
used in Thailand to identify areas of priority for development, and it
continues to be an important tool for development planning and resource
allocation.
To the
best of my knowledge, the original source for the PNI methodology developed by
the UNDP is the report entitled "A User's Guide to Measuring Human
Development: The Human Development Index and Related Indicators" by Mahbub
ul Haq, which was published in 1995.
