The International Journal of Environmental and Science  Education has a fully e-mail based review system. This system offers authors the option of tracking by e-mail based review process of their manuscripts. All manuscripts can be sent as a Word attachment to the editors at the following e-mail address: editorijese@gmail.com

Please place the legends in the manuscript after the references.

Such explanatory footnotes, identified by superscript letters, should be placed immediately below the table.

Finally, please place the tables after the figure legends in the manuscript.

  • Figures and tables should have their positions clearly marked and be provided after the references in the main text.
