Should you be interested in submitting a paper or discussing a special issue, please contact [email protected] or complete the abstract submission or expression of interest form below.

A call for experienced and new researchers

We are particularly interested in papers which convey thought leadership substantiated by rigorous and credible research, and argumentation. We would like to hear from researchers, whose field of expertise is under-represented in the field of educare and wish to disseminate their research in a journal which has a distinct thematic focus on the interplay of care and education.

The journal is an international, double-blind peer-reviewed journal, published online only. It is an open access journal, offering free of charge publication to researchers and authors and free access to papers for readers. This is an in-house publication (published by Norland) which allows quick turnover of reviewing and publishing peer-reviewed papers.
