The IJISME Editorial Board consists of the Editor-in-Chief, Professor Manjula Sharma, and associate Editors - a focused group of esteemed academics from various institutions specialising in specific areas and working together to ensure that the highest ethical standards for journal publication are achieved. The strategically decided upon small and targeted Editorial team include our Section Editors who manage the editorial process of manuscripts submitted within their areas of specialisation. Associate Professor Daniel Southam oversees submissions in the field of Physical Sciences. Dr Joseph Rathner manages submissions in the field of Biomedical and Life Sciences. Professor Pauline Ross leads on submissions relating to Change Leadership, and Primary and Secondary Curriculum Change. Stephanie Beames is our Marketing and Communications specialist, and also manages our Special Editions. The Editor in Chief, Professor Manjula Sharma, overseas submissions not otherwise covered by our Section Editors.
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, Dr Ana Lopes, if you would like to propose a theme for a Special Issue and undertake the role of Guest Editor.
Some of our recent IJISME Special Issues include:
Technology and Active Learning in Bioscience Education. Guest Editors: Joseph Rathner, Puspha Sinnayah, Angelina Fong, Vol 27, No 8 (2019).
When Science Meets the Arts: Bridging the Subjective - Objective Divide Part 1. Guest Editors: Rosanne Quinnell, Margaret Wegener, Rebecca LeBard, Stephanie Beames, Vol 27, No 7 (2019).
Agricultural Education Symposium: Growing the Future. Guest Editor: Amanda Able, Vol 27, No 4 (2019).
We use a double-blind review process. Submissions 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.
