PUBLISH IN IJED
The goal of the Journal is to foster intellectual discussion and exchange ideas to promote education for democratic citizenship across the Americas. We invite research-based or conceptual articles that advance the discussion about education for democracy. Articles may focus on schools and formal educational processes, or non-formal educational processes; on public, state programs, or non-governmental initiatives; on programs that highlight education for democracy, per se, or that highlight other dimensions which clearly articulate with education for democracy (e.g., intercultural education, human rights education, peace education, gender equity education, etc.).
Type of submissions:
Articles may be submitted in one of the following categories:
 |
Critical essay: 2,500 to 3,500 words. |
|
Review: 2,500 to 3,500 words. |
|
Research article: 7,000 to 10,000 words. |
|
Dialogue: 7,000 to 10,000 words.. |
The submissions that do not adjust to these categories or deal with a region other than the Americas, might be accepted on the basis of their contribution to the general purpose of the Journal.
Articles may be submitted in Spanish, English or Portuguese.
Only unpublished material will be accepted.
Timeline:
IJED will be published twice in the year.
Articles can be submitted to the Journal at any time of the year.
If there is a special edition on a particular topic, a deadline for submissions will be set in the call for papers.
