The journal aims to provide space primarily for work that advances theoretical discussion using a wide range of methodological approaches and conceptual frameworks.
Submissions are welcomed from scholars in the field of educational philosophy, as well as those working in related disciplines including philosophy, sociology, and anthropology.
The journal welcomes contributions that address the following issues or fields:
Ethical issues relating to specific educational contexts, such as upbringing and family life, higher education, adult education, homeschooling and early childhood education and care .

Understanding and using journal metrics
Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors
who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication.
However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s
quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it
should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to
support and not replace qualitative review.
We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside
other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its
readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In
addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and
never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.
Usage and acceptance rate data above are for the last full calendar year
and are updated annually in February. Speed data is updated every six
months, based on the prior six months. Citation metrics are updated
annually mid-year. Please note that some journals do not display all of
the following metrics
(find out why).
Usage:
the total number of times articles in the journal were viewed by users
of Taylor & Francis Online in the previous calendar year, rounded to the
