PUBLISH IN IJED
The goal of the Journal is to foster intellectual discussion and the exchange of 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.).
Characteristics of submissions:
 |
Articles may be submitted with lengths ranging from 5,000 to 10,000 words, across a full range of formats, including empirical research reports and articles, critical essays, dialogues, and book review essays. |
|
Submissions should deal with issues pertinent to education for democratic citizenship in the Americas. Those submissions that privilege other topics 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Only unpublished material will be accepted.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 during the year.
If there is a special edition on a particular topic, a deadline for submissions will be set in the call for papers.
