INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS

 

 

About the manuscript

  1. Only original and unpublished works that contribute to knowledge in the field of education will be accepted. This means they cannot have been previously published in any other physical or digital medium. Manuscripts will undergo review using Turnitin anti-plagiarism software, and those with more than 25% similarity will not be accepted. If the work is derived from a thesis, its bibliographic reference in APA version 7 format must be provided on a separate sheet detailing the authors (not within the manuscript). Similarly, the manuscript of a thesis must be at least 75% original content.

  2. Manuscripts written in Spanish, English, or Portuguese that adhere to academic writing standards are accepted.

  3. Manuscripts can take the form of articles, essays or book reviews.

    1. The “Articles” section includes manuscripts presenting the results of empirical research, evaluative intervention studies, pedagogical innovations, or diagnostic studies that contribute to knowledge in education through rigorous methodology. Additionally, systematic literature reviews on educational topics are accepted. Studies focusing solely on particular institutional or local contexts are not accepted unless they significantly contribute to building relevant knowledge in the field of education. Manuscripts in this section should range from five thousand to seven thousand words, including the title, summaries in three languages, development, bibliographic references, and annexes (if applicable).

    2. The “Essays” section comprises manuscripts that provide explanations and arguments on specific educational issues in a reflective and analytical manner. Particularly valued are those that offer critical perspectives and take a stance on topics currently debated in the field of education. Manuscripts in this section should be between five thousand to seven thousand words in length.

    3. The “Book reviews” section features manuscripts that offer commentary and analysis on publications, preferably books published within the last three years. These manuscripts should not merely summarize or describe the content of a book but should provide critical commentary. Manuscripts in this section should range from two thousand to three thousand words in length.
