Roadmap:

SEG is a promising journal intended to be among the well-established publications in the fields of education and sustainable development. We inaugurate our journal with the following milestones in mind:

  • Our first issue is determined to be published by January 2024.
  • From thence, an issue will be out every six months.
  • Of course, we need to achieve visibility and credibility before we can seek recognition from the major indexes. During this time, we will build a network of researchers and other publishers, and as we achieve our initial goals we will be preparing for our next step.
  • After four issues we hope to be indexed in Scopus.
  • One issue later we should be ready to apply to EBSCO.
  • Our next step should be to apply to MLA International Bibliography.

While one of our goals is to be indexed in well-established academic indexes, our utmost priority is the commitment to publishing high-quality research and high research ethics. This is our major mission, and we believe that’s what’s going to get us there as a leading publisher in the field of education and sustainability.
