This system offers authors the option of tracking by e-mail based review process of their manuscripts. All manuscripts can be sent as a Word attachment to the editors at the following e-mail addresses: editorijese@gmail.com & ijese@ijese.com  – Alternatively, three complete copies of the manuscript should be submitted, typed on the paper. In this case, a cd version of the article (preferably formatted on Word for Windows) should be included with the manuscript. It is essential that the full postal address, telephone, fax and email coordinates be given of the author who will receive editorial correspondence, offprints and proofs. 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.

HOW TO PREPARE MANUSCRIPTS

Manuscript Presentation
The journal's language is English. British English or American English spelling and terminology may be used, but either one should be followed consistently throughout the article. Manuscripts should not exceed for qualitative studies 50 pages and for quantitative studies 35 pages of printed text, including references, tables and figures (one page of printed text equals about 400 words). The manuscript should be modified APA Referencing System.

Layout
General Principles
Papers should be prepared with Microsoft Word in .doc or .rtf file format. Format paragraph text using the 'Normal' style in the styles menu. This puts a space before each paragraph so that a blank line is not required to separate paragraphs and automatically sets the text to double line, full justified, 12 pt Times New Roman Font layout Format the Title of the paper using the 'Title' style in the styles menu, use the 'Abstract' style for the abstract and the 'Quotation' style for paragraph quotes.

Quotations
Quotations less than three lines long should be incorporated into the text using double quotation marks. For longer quotations (more than three lines or two sentences), use 'Quotation' style in the styles menu.

Number the pages consecutively with the first page containing:

running head (shortened title)

title

author(s)

affiliation(s)

full address for correspondence, including telephone and fax number, e-mail address and related subject area

second pages,

Section Headings
First-, second-, third-, and fourth-order headings should be clearly distinguishable.

Appendices
Supplementary material should be collected in an Appendix and placed before the Notes and References.

Notes
Please use endnotes rather than footnotes. Notes should be indicated by consecutive superscript numbers in the text and listed at the end of the article before the References. A source reference note should be indicated by means of an asterisk after the title. This note should be placed at the bottom of the first page.

Acknowledgements
Acknowledgements of people, grants, funds, etc. should be placed in a separate section before the References.

References

Figures
All photographs, graphs and diagrams should be referred to as a Figure and they should be numbered consecutively (1, 2, etc.). Multi-part figures ought to be labeled with lower case letters (a, b, etc.). Please insert keys and scale bars directly in the figures. Relatively small text and great variation in text sizes within figures should be avoided as figures are often reduced in size. Figures may be sized to fit approximately within the column(s) of the journal. Provide a detailed legend (without abbreviations) to each figure, refer to the figure in the text and note its approximate location in the margin. Please place the legends in the manuscript after the references.

Tables
Each table should be numbered consecutively. In tables, footnotes are preferable to long explanatory material in either the heading or body of the table. Such explanatory footnotes, identified by superscript letters, should be placed immediately below the table. Please provide a caption (without abbreviations) to each table, refer to the table in the text and note its approximate location in the margin. Finally, please place the tables after the figure legends in the manuscript.
