Further information about the journal including links to the online sample copy and contents pages can be found on the
journal homepage.
Manuscripts, ideally between 3500 and 5000 words, should be submitted online at the Environmental Education Research Manuscript Central site. New users should first create an account. Once a user is logged onto the site submissions should be made via the Author Centre.
Authors should prepare and upload two versions of their manuscript. One should be a complete text, including author details and short professional biographies of each author, while in the second all document information identifying the author should be removed from files to allow them to be sent anonymously to referees. When uploading files authors will then be able to define the non-anonymous version as “File not for review”.
Manuscripts should be typed with double spacing and a wide margin to the left. Articles should be written in a clear and straightforward style, and be free from technical jargon. Papers should be original, but if there is overlap with material published elsewhere, details should be given. Detailed statistical evidence should be summarised in the text, though a limited amount of tabulated data may be included if they aid understanding, and will be comprehensible to lay readers. Footnotes to the text should be avoided.
Books for review should be addressed to: Dr Stephen Sterling, Centre for Sustainable Futures, University of Plymouth, Kirkby Lodge, Drake Circus, Plymouth, PL4 8AA, UK. Books submitted for review should concern research and development studies relating to the process or content of environmental education, or to policy and provision issues to comparative studies, or discourse on these issues. They should not normally be curriculum materials or books on environmental or social contexts affecting environmental education unless there is a clear and explicit relation to environmental education research.
Electronic Processing
Care and attention to these guidelines are essential as importing graphics packages can often be problematic.
- Figures must be saved individually and separate to text. Please do not embed figures in the paper file.
- Avoid the use of colour and tints for purely aesthetic reasons.
- Figures should be produced as near to the finished size as possible.
- All figures must be numbered in the order in which they appear in the paper (e.g. Figure 1, Figure 2). In multi-part figures, each part should be labelled (e.g. Figure 1(a), Figure 1(b)).
- Figure captions must be saved separately, as part of the file containing the complete text of the paper, and numbered correspondingly.
- The filename for the graphic should be descriptive of the graphic, e.g. Figure1, Figure2a.
- Files should be saved as one of the following formats: TIFF (tagged image file format), PostScript or EPS (encapsulated PostScript), and should contain all the necessary font information and the source file of the application (e.g. CorelDraw/Mac, CorelDraw/PC).
Please note that it is in the author's interest to provide the highest quality figure format possible. Please do not hesitate to contact our Production Department if you have any queries.
Tables and captions to illustrations: Tables must be typed out on separate pages and not included as part of the text. The captions to illustrations should be gathered together and also typed out on a separate page. Tables and Figures should be numbered consecutively by Arabic numerals. The approximate position of tables and figures should be indicated in the manuscript. Captions should include keys to any symbols used.
Figures: Please supply one set of artwork in a finished form, suitable for reproduction. Figures will not normally be redrawn by the publisher.
Citations of other work should be limited to those strictly necessary for the argument. Any quotations should be brief, and accompanied by precise references.
