About the Journal

Scope, objectives and publishing principles

The journal accepts the submission of manuscripts on empirically sustained research or texts of innovative theoretical reflection that contribute to the advancement of knowledge on areas related to Education.

In addition to the individually submitted manuscripts, accepts articles for open thematic issues.

The contents of the submitted manuscripts and the opinions expressed therein are the sole responsibility of their authors. However, texts with racist, sexist, xenophobic, homophobic or otherwise discriminatory content and language will not be accepted.

PERIODICITY
The journal is published on a continuous publishing.

Saber& Educar moved to a continuous publication model in 2023. This means that as soon as an article is ready to be published, it will be immediately released online rather than waiting for other articles in the issue to be completed, resulting in faster access to the final version of the article. In addition to the manuscripts submitted individually, SE launches a call for Thematic issues.
