About this journal
Aims and scope
Published by Sage from 2024.
Culture and Education (C&E) is a peer-reviewed journal publishing articles that explore the ways culture and education shape human development. The cultural-historical approach taken in the journal views culture not only as the realm of human customs, values and beliefs, but also as a variety of historically rooted forms of being human; complex and dynamic forms of human production through different types of activity. Education is seen as including both formal and informal institutions and a variety of cultural practices and activity systems (school/preschool education, play pedagogy, indigenous education, health education, family education, professional education, special education, etc.). Education is both universal, and at the same time it is context-specific. Cultural practices involving creativity and social interactions are similarly both universal and specific. Educational practices are by definition cultural practices, and the journal particularly welcomes studies that link culture, education, and human development.
Types of articles admitted for consideration include research reports, position papers, accounts of teaching experiences, and descriptions of ground-breaking educational projects. Both empirical and theoretical research papers are welcome, but all papers must demonstrate methodological rigor. High level qualitative and quantitative research papers are welcome. There will be no restrictions when it comes to age ranges or social settings. Data may come from ethnographies, experimental approaches, intervention studies, case studies, interviews, questionnaires, etc.The Journal does not publish reliability and validity studies of assessment instruments.C&E is primarily aimed at researchers and professionals working in schools and universities, but also those working in social, family, and community projects. We welcome contributions from workers in all educational and cultural fields, including psychology, anthropology, linguistics, sociology, communication, and all areas of educational research. The journal publishes all content in English and Spanish. Important notice: as of 2021, only English-language manuscripts are accepted for review. EspañolCultura y Educación (C&E) es una revista de artículos revisados por pares que publica artículos que exploran las vías por las que la cultura y la educación dan forma al desarrollo humano. El enfoque histórico-cultural de la revista contempla la cultura no solo como el dominio de las costumbres, valores y creencias humanos, sino también como una variedad de formas de lo humano históricamente arraigadas; formas complejas y dinámicas de producciones humanas con base en distintos tipos de actividades.

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.
