• The PJE is ruled by high quality scientific principles, by the social relevance of the texts that publishes and by the plurality of the perspectives it gives voice to. The PJE aims at stimulating the publication of the work of young researchers, together with well-known scholars from the field of education. • Aiming at strengthening the scientific community to which it belongs, the Journal seeks, by means of its Advisory Board as well as the publication of papers of a different nature, to establish and strengthen links with peer-communities from different latitudes, languages and cultural and research traditions. It aims at enabling and stimulating a plural debate around relevant and controversial social and scientific issues in education. • The PJE accepts proposals for publication that are framed by its scope and objectives: empirical studies and essays on innovative issues that will promote the advancement of knowledge in the broad field of Education. The proposals can be presented in the Portuguese, Spanish, English, or French language. • Besides individual papers, the PJE accepts proposals for thematic nuclei, composed by 4 or 5 texts. The PJE also publishes book reviews, of books published in the last 3 years. It can accept reviews of older books, as long as they bring innovative contributions. • Contributors are responsible for the content and opinions expressed in their papers. However, biased texts, with discriminatory content or language of a racist, sexist, xenophobic, homophobic nature or other, won't be accepted. • The Journal authorizes and recommends its Authors to deposit their published papers in institutional repositories. • All papers submitted for publication will be submitted to a preliminary analysis by the Journal's Direction, who will apply the following suitability criteria: • full compliance of the editorial policies and norms; • texts on education or that, in some way, incorporate relevant educational contributions; • structure and content of a scientific article; • non-discriminatory content and/or language. Once these conditions are met, the article will be evaluated using a double blind review process. Two external experts, members of the Editorial Board or ad-hoc evaluators are selected for this purpose. Whenever necessary, a third opinion is requested. |
