Call for Submissions!
JESE is always looking for good quality manuscripts relating to elementary science education to publish. We seek manuscripts that are research-based, both qualitative and quantitative, as well as issues-oriented work.
We are a peer-reviewed journal and have worked hard to shorten the time taken for both the review process and for publishing accepted manuscripts. Once a manuscript has been accepted for publication, it may be published within six months (one issue away).
Please see the Submissions to JESE page for further details and information.

We seek both veteran and new reviewers who can provide constructive reviews that can help authors improve their work.
