The Journal of Emergent Science (JES), supported by the Primary Science Teaching Trust (PSTT), has launched a refreshed design in line with the modernised appearance of the Association for Science Education’s (ASE) family of journals.

While the journal may look different, its core mission remains unchanged. JES continues to provide open-access research focused on early years science education, serving a dedicated audience of practitioners, primary teachers, teacher educators, and researchers.

This update reflects JES’s ongoing commitment to clarity and accessibility, while maintaining the high-quality content readers have come to expect.
