In recent years models and processes for managing the publishing of scholarly journals have evolved significantly as a result - among other factors – of the impact on the scientific production of technological advances, increased opportunities for exchange and communication between the researchers. Other relevant phenomena to take into consideration are represented by the activities of agencies for evaluating the quality of the research and the channels used for the dissemination of scientific progress.

This Workshop on History of Education Journals – organized within the conference in History of Education Pedagogy in the face of Death. Reflections and interpretations in historical and philosophical perspective (Valladolid, 26-27/02/2015), aims at opening an additional space for work, reflection and debate to know the point of view of the editors about the opportunities and challenges the academic journals have before them, and at contributing to the ongoing attempts to develop a mapping of scientific production in the field of History of Education. For this purpose editors of the journals related to the History of Education in Mediterranean Europe and Latin America have been invited.

Among the various issues that will be the subject of discussion we include: the influence by models of editorial management on the shape and style of the scientific production; the role of social networks for the dissemination of the progress, news and achievements of the journals; the critical review of the formulas currently prevailing in the evaluation of editorial quality; the recognition of the role of editor of a journal for the evaluation of the academic career; the language policy (the editorial choice to adopt only the English language  or, on the contrary, accepting contributions in multiple languages); the impact and the presence of the investigations in the field of History of Education in the university curriculum.
