International Research in Geographical & Environmental Education publishes quality research studies within the context of geographical and environmental education. The journal endeavours to promote international interest and dissemination of research in the field, provides a forum for critique, and demonstrates the relevance of research studies to good professional practice.
“International Research in Geographical and Environmental Education provides research-based articles about learning and teaching from around the world. This focus is especially welcome because environmental problems, theories, and solutions occur within specific geographical contexts. An international journal like IRGEE adds authenticity because it reflects the worlds (and world views) of teacher scholars who are seeking better ways of teaching in a variety of geographic settings.”
Dr. Phil Gersmehl,Research Professor, Hunter College, USA andCentral Michigan University, USA

Understanding and using journal metrics
Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors
who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication.
However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s
quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it
should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to
support and not replace qualitative review.
We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside
other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its
readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In
addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and
never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.
Usage and acceptance rate data above are for the last full calendar year
and are updated annually in February. Speed data is updated every six
months, based on the prior six months. Citation metrics are updated
annually mid-year. Please note that some journals do not display all of
the following metrics
(find out why).
Usage:
the total number of times articles in the journal were viewed by users
of Taylor & Francis Online in the previous calendar year, rounded to the

(Source Normalized Impact per Paper):
the number of citations per paper in the journal, divided by citation
potential in the field.
SJR
(Scimago Journal Rank):
Average number of (weighted) citations in one year, divided by the
number of articles published in the journal in the previous three years.
Speed/acceptance
From submission to first decision:
the average (median) number of days for a manuscript submitted to the
journal to receive a first decision. Based on manuscripts receiving a
