Editorial policyCollection: PEDAGOGIES UB

The Pedagogies UB collection is dedicated to increasing the intellectual understanding of pedagogy in a complex society. With a humanist vocation, it provides a platform for academic papers concerned with contemporary pedagogical thought. The collection is aimed at the wider public interested in pedagogical analysis and reflection related to current social and educational events.

The editorial lines of interest are closely linked to the various knowledge areas of pedagogy, in their diverse academic applications, and offers a critical and prospective look at current situations while also considering pedagogical traditions.

The collection sheds light on pedagogical debate in the broadest sense – from school pedagogy to social pedagogy, from pedagogical thinking to educational policy – and incorporates a global vision of educational phenomena.

Collection editor: Enric Prats (University of Barcelona)

Scientific committee: Inmaculada Egido (Complutense University of Madrid), Miquel Oliver (University of the Balearic Islands), María Jesús Martínez Urralde (University of Valencia), Jesús Manso (Autonomous University of Madrid), Clara Romero (University of Sevilla), Jordi Solé Blanch (Open University of Catalunya), Teresa Terrón-Caro (Universidad Pablo de Olavide de Sevilla), Miquel Martínez (University of Barcelona)

Submission of originals

Texts submitted for publication can be sent to the collection editor’s email address (enricprats@ub.edu). If sent directly to Edicions de la Universitat de Barcelona (infopublicacions@ub.edu) they will be forwarded to the collection editor, who will assess their suitability and initiate the external evaluation process.

Original papers must be unpublished, written in Catalan, Spanish, French, English, or Italian, and must reflect new contributions in their field and follow the The University of Barcelona’s code of conduct for research integrity. They must also adhere to a style appropriate to an academic publication, using clear, precise and exact language.

Originals must be submitted in accordance with the criteria listed in the rules for the submission of originals and the style guide, and they must be sent with an abstract describing the work, as well as a brief curriculum vitae of the author or authors.

How to quote

Bibliographic references must be adhered to APA 7a ed.:

Hargreaves, A. (2006). Sustainable Leadership. Jossey-Bass.

Selection process

Original papers are evaluated by experts in the field of pedagogy, in accordance with double-blind peer reviewing, in order to ensure the anonymity of authors and reviewers. Once the evaluation has been made, whether the work has been accepted or rejected, the author will receive a reasoned reply from the editor of the collection or the publisher indicating, if necessary, the possibility of rewriting or reworking the original submitted in order to introduce the changes or remarks sent to him, and also the necessity to adapt the text to the collection’s editorial criteria. Where appropriate, the author may re-submit the original, which will be assessed again.

In the event of the work being accepted, the publisher will contact the author to formalize the publishing contract and, once it has been scheduled with the editors of the collection, inform him/her/them of the planned publication date.

Process of publishing originals 

Once the original has been accepted and the author has been notified of the decision, the publishing house sets in motion the process of editing and producing the work, of which a copy editor takes charge in coordination with the editors of the collection and the author. The editor informs authors of the different stages that will be followed, as well as the execution times, so that they can plan the revisions that will have to be made by them.
