General guidelines
The Journal calls for papers in the field of Environmental Education/Education for Sustainability (theory and practice).
Author(s) are responsible for the content of their manuscript. By submitting a manuscript for publication author(s) assumes responsibility for adhering to intellectual property rights law and assures that no violation is caused to the intellectual property rights of third parties.
The name of the author(s) should not appear anywhere in the document. The comment “... information that may identify the writers” should be written where necessary.
In case that reviewers request revision of the manuscript, there is a maximum two-months period for the author(s) to make all necessary revisions and resubmit it. The revised manuscript is submitted again for re-evaluation. In case of conflicting reviews, the manuscript is sent to a third reviewer.
After the reviewers and the Editors have approved the manuscript, author(s) are informed on the acceptance of the manuscript. The Editorial Board may also request changes to the content and the form of the manuscript.
All procedures (submissions, reviews, publication, etc.) should be done exclusively via web after registration to the system.
