Submission Guidelines and Categories
Format: Please submit articles as a Word document or Rich Text Format file. Use the academic formatting style appropriate to your discipline. Scholarly Feature Articles, as well as other pieces should be submitted by e-mail directly to the editor at editorjse@gmail.com.
Scholarly Feature Articles. These longer, peer-reviewed articles should be between 3,000 and 7,500 words in length, including an abstract of up to 300 words and all references. Occasionally, longer articles may be accepted for publication. Please provide up to six keywords. We strongly encourage the submission of supporting media, including photographs, images, video and more. These can be embedded in the manuscript or submitted separately as a file or link, as appropriate. They fall into three categories:
- Original research: Present results from original research project and follow the general format of a research article (introduction, review of literature, methods, results, discussion, references).
- Theoretical and Conceptual Articles: These articles develop new theories, terms, or concepts or seek to clarify, further refine, or further develop existing theories, terms, or concepts relevant to the field of sustainability education
- Program and Practice Features: These articles put the spotlight on educational programs and experiences, showing how they use logistics (staff, materials, places, or spaces) to implement a plan that achieves specific outcomes related to sustainability education. Digital photographs are expected to complement the text by showing participants engaged in activities while participating in the program. Publication priority will be given to programs and experiences that assess outcomes with more rigor and that demonstrate aspects of other articles published in the same issue of this journal.
Reports and Briefings: These articles report preliminary findings, phenomenological studies, case studies, insights, proposed syntheses of historically separate fields, or small sample-sized studies that generate new hypotheses for further research. Research briefings include reviews of research on specific areas in sustainability education or short summaries of significant research studies. Reports should be 500-3,000 words and have fewer than 10 references.
Editorials/Opinions: These 500-3,000 word essays offer commentary on current events related to sustainability education, issues in sustainability, or recent articles in this journal.
Book and Media Reviews: Book and media reviews are between 500 and 3,000 words in length. Reviews should be approved by the editor before submission. Please be candid with conflicts of interest. The review should focus on how the book, film, or other media contributes to sustainability education.
Images of sustainability education: These digital photographs or other media and their 100 word maximum captions help demonstrate a more holistic view of sustainability education and engage a broad audience.
—-All submissions will be reviewed by the editors. Scholarly feature articles will also be reviewed by at least two peer review board members.—-
