The Indian Research Journal of Extension Education (IRJEE) is the official refereed publication of the Society for Extension Education Agra (SEE). The journal is published in both print and online versions. [Print ISSN: 0972-2181; Online ISSN: 0976-1071]. It is a multidisciplinary journal that publishes scientific articles concerned with all aspects of extension science in general and agriculture as well as allied extension education in particular to enhance the research acumen and knowledge base of extension science for upliftment of rural society on multidimensional perspectives. The journal is peer reviewed and committed to timely publication of original research and reviewed articles. The journal is designed mainly to serve researchers, dealing with extension research. For publication in the IRJEE, the article must pass the IRJEE's double blind, refereed process, where peer reviewers evaluate manuscript content and ensure readability. Reviewers are selected from the SEE membership and extended family of researchers. In the double-blind referee process, all references to authors are removed before the manuscript is sent to reviewers. Articles should relate to current or emerging issues, cite appropriate literature, and develop implications for different dimensions of extension science. Articles can be focused in one of three contexts – Empirical Research, Methodological or Theoretical/Conceptual. Manuscripts, or portions of manuscripts, must not have been published or be under consideration for publication by another journal. The journal is published regularly since 2001, with distribution to libraries of universities, research centres, researchers in extension science, agriculture science and other allied sciences.
