About the Journal
The International Journal of Innovation in Science and Mathematics Education (IJISME) (ISSN 2200-4270) is a respected forum affiliated with The University of Sydney, for the sharing of original research, reviews and curriculum development and innovation, with a focus on enhancing educational outcomes for students and teachers in the disciplines of science and mathematics. We publish scholarly papers that focus on the teaching and learning of science and mathematics in educational settings ranging from primary school to university education. Our aim is to connect research and practice, providing insights, information and ideas to stimulate discussion and debate and inform practice in science and mathematics classrooms. As an international journal we encourage contributions from any country provided that the content is appropriate for our global readership.
The IJISME Editorial Board consists of the Editor-in-Chief Professor Manjula Sharma and Associate Professor Joseph Rathner.
We regularly publish Special Editions, guest-edited by one or several acknowledged experts, which focus on a particular topic of interest to our readers. Proposals are welcomed, please contact Journal Manager, Daniel Naoumenko, if you would like to propose a theme for a Special Issue and undertake the role of Guest Editor.
Upcoming Issues:
Humanising STEM. Guest Editors: Assoc. Professor Emily Faulconer, Dr. Stephen George-Williams, Professor Christopher Thompson (Vol. 33, No. 1 2025)
Agricultural Education. (Vol. 33, No. 4-5, 2025)

We also accept and publish literature reviews. We use a double-blind review process for all submissions. Papers of a purely discipline nature, that is without an educational focus, will not be considered for publication. If you are unsure of the suitability of your paper please contact the Editor in Chief, Professor Manjula Sharma or the Journal Manager for advice.
IJISME is included in the SCOPUS, EBSCO and ProQuest indexing databases.
All accepted peer reviewed manuscripts will be published online, open access and are citable by the digital object identifier (DOI) assigned at the time of publication.
