It is a publication based on the production and dissemination of theoretical or applied topics, involving the academic bodies of our institution as well as of other academic institutions, national and foreign, devoted to different academic fields and subjects, including works and reflections on teaching and its implications.
Since 2016, Revista de la Escuela de Ciencias de la Educaciónhas opened the call for papers (scientific academic articles and reviews) in Spanish or Portuguese, from January to March and from July to August. The Drafting Committee initially reviews the papers in order to assess whether they comply with formal requirements. Then, they undergo a double-blind refereeing –or triple-blind in case of a tie– so as to protect authors and referees’ anonymity.
The Advisory Committee will determine the language of publication for papers submitted in other languages other than the aforementioned.
. Scope of the Publication
Journal Sections. Refereed:
Scientific academic papers.
Works by students of the Degree in Learning Sciences, co-authored and endorsed by a teacher of the degree course (mandatory admission requirement).

Evaluation Process
The papersare initially submitted for a control process carried out by the Editing Committee in order to assess whether they meet formal requirements. Papers that do not meet the requirements will be ruled out.
Then the papers undergo a double-blind refereeing or triple-blind in case of a tie. Only papers that meet the scientific and editorial requirements of the Journal will pass to thissecond stage: they are sent to external expertreferees that are not part of theEditorial Committee or Universidad Nacional de Rosario, and should be accepted by, at least,1 (one) referee.
Each paper will be evaluated by, at least, 2 (two) experts in the topic from national, Latin American or Spanish Universities.
In the event of conflicting recommendations, the text will be sent to a third referee, whose recommendation will decide whether the paper is published or not. Evaluation results derived from academic recommendationsare final in all cases.
After the call closure date, submitted contributions will be sent to experts in the topics to begin the evaluation process, which will cover a period of 30 (thirty) days, after which the papers will be:
Recommended for publication without modifications
Recommended for publication with partial modifications
Not recommended for publication
The Ethics Committee will notify the authors of paper status. If modifications are required, the author will have 15 (fifteen) days to comply. The new version of the paper will undergo a second evaluation, in no more than 15 (fifteen) days.
Aspects to be evaluated:
Topic’s relevance to learning sciences
Novelty and pertinence
Language clarity and accuracy
Coherence
Paper quality
Disciplinary relevance to the field of education
Critical Reading of bibliography and sources
Articulation of conclusions to the rest of the paper
Adjustment to formatting standards for submission
Referee’s evaluations will be sent to the authors only in case they contain observations, remarks or suggestions that warrant a notification by the Ethics Committee. The contributions submitted will not be returned to the authors.
The Ethics Committee will not publish any work whose content or authors have an explicit link to interests detrimental to the Human Rights under Order 525, Art 6, subparagraph 5 of UNR.
After receivingreferees’ recommendationsand considering the contributions with a positive evaluation, the Editorial Committee reserves the right to make a final selection for the annual publication considering the specific number of papers set for each edition by the Publisher. Selection criteria prioritize the papers with better evaluations by the referees or the key thematic lines agreed on annually.
