iDirect is a new and speedy platform that accepts direct submissions of research papers across various fields of science. Individual authors are welcome to submit their research discussing new ideas and presenting solutions to everyday problems that fall under countless scientific themes. The iDirect platform is a part of the peer review system for online conferences. Editors are responsible for assisting authors in successfully writing high-quality research papers. They also work to filter and sort chapters, ultimately structuring edited books and volumes.
After submissions and initial decisions are taken, iDirect would prepare the approved papers for publication. An online discussion session would take place near the end of each month where authors are to join the online discussion to present their research to the book’s editors for further research evaluation.
Research papers should be at least 4 pages in length and submitted once in full, with an included abstract. They should be written ethically, with a coherent structure that clearly depicts the aim, idea, and scope of the research, and ultimately, presents a valuable outcome.
iDirect will accept full research papers in various fields under any of IEREK’s three book series established in collaboration with Springer. Submitted papers can fall under countless interdisciplinary fields including Environmental Sciences, Social and Behavioral Sciences, Health, Nutrition and Medical Sciences, and finally, Engineering, Technology and Innovation.
Two of the offered book series are Scopus-indexed and are entitled Advances in Science, Technology and Innovation (ASTI), Sustainable Civil Infrastructures (SUCI), and our third book series entitled Sustainable Landscape Planning and Natural Resources Management (SLNR) is also open for direct submissions.
Publish your research papers directly with Springer, a renowned publisher, and see your work presented online, swiftly. Once you submit your paper, the following timeline would apply:

Environmental science is an interdisciplinary field of study that incorporates and combines countless of different studies falling under biological, social and physical sciences. Some of the many major topics that are within the field of environmental sciences include Environmental Policy, Environmental Engineering, Geoscience, and Ecology, to name a few.
Through this field, individuals such as scientists and researchers are actively working to better understand the natural world and the impact that individuals have on the environment. It is also a way for these individuals to discover and develop methods to sustain said environment but to also improve its quality as much as possible and in every aspect.
In order to develop further opportunities for individuals interested in Environmental Sciences as well as expanding its existing but ever-growing research, IEREK has decided to provide said individuals with iDirect. iDirect, a platform that not only speeds up the publication process but also continues to uphold and maintain the quality of the research that it receives, will hopefully provide individuals with more opportunities to further develop and enhance many fields of science.
