About the Journal

The scope and coverage of the journal

The journal "Education. Therapy. Care" presents a wide spectrum of topics from the field of social sciences, in particular from such disciplines as pedagogy, psychology or sociology.

The aim of the yearbook is to create a forum for the exchange of views of both theoreticians and practitioners of pedagogy, psychology and sociology on current problems affecting children and young people at school, their teachers, guardians and educators.

We invite researchers, teachers, school educators and psychologists, sociologists, as well as students interested in contemporary challenges and needs in the field of broadly understood upbringing and care for children and youth to be published in our pages. We publish texts in Polish and English.

The journal is open to all authors from Poland and abroad. The authors do not pay any fees for submission or acceptance of texts for publication in the journal.

Peer Review Process

All submitted articles are subject to the so-called double-blind review by two independent experts unrelated to the employment relationship with the author's research unit. The review is carried out on the basis of a double-blind review process, which means that the authors and reviewers do not know their identities. In addition to the compliance of the article title with its content, the reviewer assesses the formulation of the scientific goal or the practical purpose of the described research, the substantive value of the work, the correctness of the work structure, the scientific terminology used, the importance of solving the problem for science or practice, the scope of the problem solution and the correct formulation of the final conclusions.

Plagiarism prevention

Every submission undergoes an originality check prior to the peer-review process using Crossref Similarity Check. Manuscripts found to contain plagiarism will be rejected.

Use of generative artificial intelligence (Generative AI)

The Editorial Board does not recommend the use of generative artificial intelligence at any stage of the manuscript preparation process. Any potential use must be transparent and comply with the principles of research integrity, confidentiality, and copyright protection.
