Peer Review Policy:
All research articles published in Paedagogica Historica have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereering by at least three anonymous referees.
" Paedagogica Historica is the only journal that offers both “traditional” studies on the historical recovery of education from around the world, and innovative new theoretical and methodological scholarship in the history of education. Paedagogica Historica is a particularly essential resource for American scholars in the history of education."
Professor Kate Rousmaniere, Department of Educational Leadership, Miami University, USA
" Paedagogica Historica is undoubtedly the leading journal in the field. In contrast to a series of national journals for the history of education, Paedagogica Historica is the most international one."
Dr. Jürgen Schriewer, Berlin University, Germany
"The international scope, the tackling of central issues of contemporary social sciences and historical scholarship, and its theoretical/archival contributions make it an important journal."
Thomas S. Popkewitz

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.
For more details, please read the Author Services guide to understanding journal metrics.
