The Education Sciences | Education – Research – Innovation online journal was launched in 2013 by Professor Ágnes Vámos and her colleagues. It is published by the ELTE Faculty of Education and Psychology, and the Faculty's Institute of Education hosts it.
The journal has two major sections. The Studies section contains three subsections: the Beyond the Borders subsection shows internationally published articles written in different languages and articles about the current state of current topics in the international scientific community. The In Focus subsection shows thematically related studies and new research findings that are intriguing from the education sciences' standpoint, occasionally with commissioned authors/guest editors. The Overview subsection awaits authors who want to publish their new scholarly research findings.
Studies submitted will be assessed by double anonymous peer review.
The Reviews section has five subsections: the Current Times subsection is for reviews of new national and international publications, the Critical Questions subsection is for critiques of the scholarly literature of a particular topic, in the Reassessed subsection, older publications present day reading can be found, the Perspectives subsection shows different authors' opinion on one publication. In the Reviews section, a journal review is possible too.
The journal awaits articles from a wide range of authors, from education sciences and joint and related sciences, Hungarian and international researchers, education science pursuers, and those who value quality education, from educators and innovators. The journal's issues are published with an English table of contents, a summary of the contents, and authors' introductions.
The journal aims to publish original, unpublished manuscripts not submitted for review or publication in other journals. For more information on article submission and publication, please see the For the Authors files! The author's statement can be found there, and by sending the manuscript alongside it, the authors automatically accept its conditions. The publisher does not charge a fee from the authors for reviewing submitted works or upon accepting said work and publishing it.
The journal permits the authors, without time limitations and fee charges, to share the accepted manuscripts' pre-print versions, even if they contain the suggested corrections (in e-mail or on the author's institute's website or the author's institute's or university's closed or unrestricted repository, or non-profit servers). When sharing their work this way, the author has to inform their readers that the article is not the final, printed version and that the final version will be published in Education Sciences. The author can use the post-print version if the article's final version has been published. In this case, the precise publication place and data in the Education Sciences journal must be given. The author retains their copyright over the article, but in the case of republishing, the first publication's bibliography data has to be stated.
