(Closed until October 2025) Call for Proposals for Special Issues

No further proposals will be accepted until October 2025.

Revista Española de Pedagogía welcomes proposals for special issues addressing current topics in educational research. Proposals should adopt a broad, non-localist, and plural perspective that contributes to a deeper understanding of the most relevant educational challenges of our time.

To this end, a submission period is opened for proposals, which will be evaluated by a committee based on the following criteria:

• Quality of the proposal, including the clarity of its presentation and the justification of its relevance and timeliness.
• Research trajectory of the editors, who must hold at least the accreditation of “Profesor Contratado Doctor” or its equivalent, along with a research merit assessment (sexenio) recognized by the CNEAI. Proposals may be submitted by up to three editors, provided they are not affiliated with the same university.
• Inclusion of articles by international authors from different universities and backgrounds to ensure a broad discussion of the proposed topic.
• Contribution to other sections of the journal, such as recent book reviews related to the theme of the special issue.
• Proposed strategies for dissemination of the issue once published, including presentations, academic blog posts, short video recordings, university website promotion, academic conferences, and social media outreach.

 

Proposals (approximately 2,000 words) should be sent to: bd.direccion.rep@unir.net and secretaria.rep@unir.net and must include the following sections:

• Full name(s) and institutional affiliation(s) of the proposer(s). It is recommended that there be 2–3 proposers, including at least one international editor. Preference will be given to geographically diverse teams.
• Academic rank, ANECA accreditation (or equivalent), and number of recognized research merit periods (sexenios), including dates.
• A list and brief description of the five most relevant publications by each proposer over the last five years.
• Description of the proposed theme for the special issue.
• Outline of the main lines of development to be covered in the call for papers (between 4 and 7).
• List of potential contributors (between 4 and 7 authors). Proposals with at least 70% of potential contributors from geographically diverse backgrounds will be given priority.
• Contributions to other sections of the journal.
• Dissemination strategy. If the topic is part of a funded research project, it would be helpful to indicate whether part of the funding could be allocated for the translation of the final published articles.

 

It is recommended to contact bd.direccion.rep@unir.net before submitting a proposal to confirm whether the journal's academic direction is currently accepting new submissions.
