About the Journal

Educación y Vínculos. Journal of interdisciplinary studies in Education, approved by Resol CD 238/17, was created in 2018 as a part of the activities of the Integral Project “Vínculo pedagógico, transmisión y lazo social en escuelas secundarias. Relaciones intergeneracionales, aprendizaje y socialización”, of the University and Territory Program (Resolution CS 091 / 16- FCE 2016-2018).

Educación y Vínculos it has been conceived as a space for the exchange of work experiences and studies on the present in Education, proposed as a dialogue between disciplines, between institutions and between generations, with a plural perspective. Its objective is to enable and promote the exchange between teachers and researchers, interested in the production of knowledge and intervention experiences in the field of Education from a rights and social inclusion perspective, with an interdisciplinary approach.

The journal is aimed at teachers at different levels of the educational system, researchers, university students, and students from teacher training institutes, as well as individuals interested in this field. We imagine enabling exchange with other teams and universities that are thinking about disciplinary “crossovers” to produce knowledge and generate novel forms of intervention.

Evaluation Process

The Editorial Committee receives submissions from authors and assesses their relevance for publication, considering a) the theme, b) the textual structure and academic writing, and c) the requirement for original and unpublished text.

At this stage, the submission may be rejected without going through the arbitration process if it does not align with the theme of the call or does not meet the quality criteria required for publication.

If the submission meets the admissibility criteria, it is accepted to move on to the arbitration stage, conducted by external referees not affiliated with the journal. In both cases, the author is notified.

Arbitration Process

The Editorial Committee records the date of receipt of the submitted article and sends it to two external referees, selected based on their specificity with the article or review's theme. The external referees will evaluate the quality of the writing through Double anonymous peer review process (the evaluator does not know the author, and the author does not know the evaluators, nor do the evaluators know each other).

The response to authors regarding the acceptance or rejection of their work depends on the referee's timing, which will not be less than forty days. Between receipt and communication of acceptance (with or without modifications) or rejection, no more than three months will pass. Depending on the number of received and accepted works, authors will be informed in which issue their article will be published, respecting the referee's approval date as an organizing criterion in each case.

The final outcome of the review may be:

• Approved, without any objections. In this case, it will undergo copyediting for its final disposition in the journal.

• Approved, subject to modifications regarding writing or bibliography, requests for clarification, or observations that the evaluators consider pertinent.

  In this case, authors will be given a specific time for corrections. If the authors do not make the necessary corrections or clarifications by the deadline, the article will not be published in that edition. If the authors make the necessary changes, the article goes back for editing. Once the final version is approved, it undergoes copyediting and is published. If the reviewers believe that the changes were not made, the article will not be published. This decision is final.

• Not publishable, when it does not meet minimum standards (in terms of theoretical soundness or severe deficits in writing). In this case, the article will not be published in that issue. The evaluators' decision is final.

In case of disparate opinions among the evaluators, the Editorial Committee will review them and make a decision accordingly. The decision is final.
