It is possible to publish special (thematic) issues of JBSE. The papers should be submitted and will be published in English. JBSE will promote to establish contacts between researchers and practical educators both in the Baltic countries and countries around.     The authors of the manuscripts are responsible for the scientific content and novelty of the research materials. Articles submitted for publication should not have been previously published. Articles, published before in other international journals or papers' collections will not be accepted for publication in JBSE.     As a publication that represents a variety of cross-disciplinary interests, both theoretical and practical, the JBSE invites manuscripts on a wide range of topics, especially in the following areas:   Didactics of natural sciences.   Theory and practice in natural science teacher education.   Integrated natural science education.   Natural science and technological literacy.   General and professional natural science education.   Philosophical, political, economical and social aspects of natural science education.   The supplementary natural science education.   The standardisation of natural science education etc.   TYPES OF MANUSCRIPTS   Research Papers (Usually these papers present empirical work)   Theoretical/Conceptual Papers (These papers present non-empirical work)   Position Papers (Position papers can describe a problem or an issue with a suggested solution or direction).   Case Studies (Case studies highlight a particular issue in science education. They present what theory and/or the research literature reports on the problem or issue, what was done to try to solve or explore it, the results of the project and implications and suggestions for others interested in future research).   Reviews (Reviews are usually invited by the Editor. Those who submit Reviews should consult with the Editor-in-Chief in advance).   Letters to the Editor (these are brief communications that express an opinion in response to material in a previously published issue of JBSE).   STRUCTURE OF MANUSCRIPTS The body of the text of the manuscript must generally have the following parts   Abstract (an abstract is a shortened version of the paper and should contain all information necessary for the reader to determine: (a) what the objectives of the study were; (b) how the study was done; (c) what results were obtained; (d) and the significance of the results; abstract should not exceed 150 words).   Introduction (introduction should provide sufficient background information and the rationale for the present study).   Methodology of research (this part should provide sufficiently detailed information to allow the experiments/or other empirical work/ to be repeated by others.
