Special Issues

Advancing STEM Education through Scholarly Collaboration

The International Journal of Research in STEM Education (IJRSE) develops Special Issues through scholarly collaborations with universities, research institutions, scholarly associations, academic conferences, and other educational organizations whose academic activities and interests align with the journal’s aims and scope.

These collaborations reflect IJRSE’s commitment to supporting the advancement of STEM education by providing a scholarly platform for emerging themes, significant developments, and contemporary issues in research and educational practice. Through Special Issues, IJRSE seeks to strengthen academic networks, promote knowledge exchange across institutions and geographical contexts, and facilitate the dissemination of high-quality scholarship that contributes to the development of STEM education.

The establishment of a Special Issue is based on the relevance and scholarly value of the proposed collaboration and its alignment with the journal’s academic scope and editorial standards. Each Special Issue is organized around a clearly defined theme and may involve designated academic partners or Guest Editors working under the editorial oversight of IJRSE.

Scholarly collaboration does not alter the journal’s standards or editorial independence. Manuscripts submitted or invited for consideration in a Special Issue must fall within the scope of IJRSE and are subject to the journal’s editorial screening, publication ethics requirements, and peer review procedures. Participation in a collaborating institution, conference, or academic initiative does not guarantee publication in IJRSE.
