From submission to manuscript: publication opportunities for our participants
Hundreds of participants present their research in every World Environmental Education Congress (WEEC). We want to make this exciting source of research and experience available for the broad scientific community. Thus, we look to extend the publication opportunity for the presenting authors beyond the scope of the conference proceeding.
In the cooperation with our Internal Scientific Committee, publishers, and other partners, we arrange special issues (SI) in a broad set of scientific journals linked with the 11thWEEC. Based on this, we encourage the authors to transform their submission into a manuscript. While the success in WEEC-related reviewing does not guarantee success in the journals’ review; there is a good chance the editors will accept the high-scored submissions.
If you find this opportunity attractive, look at the list of the already opened calls (a few more journals are in consideration). Please, consider the journals varies a lot in their focus, calls, publication fee (for some), status, etc. Find the one most fitting to your submission and proceed with your manuscript. We are looking forward to reading your submission in the journal of your choice!
Where you can submit your WEEC-related manuscript?
There is the list of already arranged special issues. Other journal are to be add soon!
