The MJES publishes original contributions in the field of education that focus on Mediterranean countries and the diaspora of Mediterranean people worldwide.

Refereeing: To ensure the highest standards all submitted articles are scrutinised by at least two independent referees before being accepted for publication. Prospective authors are advised to contact the editor before submitting their manuscript. Published papers become the copyright of the journal.
 
Language: The MJES features articles in English. Authors who are not fully proficient in English should have their manuscripts checked by a language specialist. The Editorial Board is also willing to promote English versions of high quality articles that have already been published in any of the Mediterranean languages that do not have wide regional or international currency. In such cases, however, responsibility for copyright clearance rests with the author/s, who carry all responsibilities for any infringement.

Readership: All contributors should be aware they are addressing an international audience. They should also use non-sexist, non-racist language, and a guide sheet is available in this regard.

Manuscripts: articles should be between 6,000 and 8,000 words in length, should be sent to the Editor MJES, accompanied by an abstract of between 100-150 words. Research Notes, Project Reports, and Comments (1,500 to 3,000 words in length) are also welcome.

E-mail submission: Authors are encouraged to send a copy of their manuscript as an email attachment to the editor in order to cut down the time on the refereeing process. It is essential that the full postal address, telephone, fax and email coordinates be given of the author who will receive editorial correspondence. Authors should include a brief autobiographic note. To enable the refereeing procedure to be anonymous, the name(s) and institution(s) of the author(s) should not be included at the head of the article, but should be typed on a separate sheet. The surname of the author/s should be underlined.

Figures and tables should have their positions clearly marked and be provided on separate sheets that can be detached from the main text.

References should be indicated in the text by giving the author’s name followed by the year of publication in parentheses, e.g. ‘...research in Mahmoudi & Patros (1992) indicated...’, alternatively this could be shown as ‘....research (Mahmoudi & Patros 1992) showed...’. The full references should be listed in alphabetical order at the end of the paper using the following formula:

Book: Surname, Name initials (date of publication) Title of Book. Place of Publication: Publisher.
Article in Journal: Surname, Name initials (date of publication) 'Title of article.' Title of Journal,  Vol.(issue), pp.
Chapter in Book: Surname initial/s, Name initials (date of publication) 'Title of chapter'. In Name  initials and Surname of (ed./s) Title of Book. Place of Publication: Publisher.

Particular care in the presentation of references ensures earlier placement in the publication queue.
