Guidelines for submission of Papers
       
The International Journal of Emotional Education is an academic peer-reviewed journal providing space for high quality, empirically based papers on effective intervention and evaluation in the area of emotional education. The papers are accessible to practitioners working in the area. A key feature of the journal will be the variety of papers which will be published. Papers may vary from 5000 to 6,000 words, but may not exceed 7000 words including references, figures, tables and appendices.
       
The IJEE welcomes paper submissions and does not charge publication/processing fees from the author(s). The Editors accept papers on any area related to emotional education, including:

Submitted papers will be reviewed on the basis of their relevance and contribution to the area, the quality of the research, conceptualisation and presentation, and the contemporaniety of the work presented. Papers lacking in theory and conceptualisation and/or methodological rigour will not be considered. Papers submitted should be in English and should not have been published or under consideration for any other journal or publication. Papers not written in good English will be rejected. All articles will be subjected to anonymous independent peer review. The editors' decision is final and the editors will not engage in discussion of their decisions with contributors.

Papers for consideration should be sent as an email attachment in Word document to the editorial assistant at Natalie Galea. Only papers sent on this email will be considered for review.
