Journal of the Learning Sciences

The Journal of the Learning Sciences offers studies of best practices in teaching and learning science, mathematics, education, psychology and technology. The journal is part of The TnF Collection. This collection is brought together around a common concern for learning in all its sites, formal and informal, and at all levels, from early childhood, to schools, colleges and universities, and adult, community and workplace education. We seek to build an epistemic community to make linkages across disciplinary, geographic, and cultural boundaries. The journal collection is defined by our Research Network scope and concerns and motivated to build strategies for action framed by our shared themes and tensions. The Journal of the Learning Sciences is a Hybrid Access journal. We offer various pathways to make your research accessible and make accessibility affordable. Please see our Open Access Statement and Journal Author Rights & Permissions support page for more information.

Journal of the Learning Sciences explores the social dynamics of public, community, and privately owned organizations.

Journal of the Learning Sciences stemmed from the themed journal collection of TnF Interdisciplinary Social Sciences Research Network. The Interdisciplinary Social Sciences Journal Collection was founded in 1990. In 2021, Journal of the Learning Sciences was moved from the interdisciplinary network to become the premiere journal for The TnF Network.

The Journal is meant to serve as a means of communication and discussion of important issues related to scientific activities. The Journal publishes only original articles in different languages which have international importance. In addition to full-length research articles, the Journal also publishes review articles. Papers can be focused on fundamental research leading to new methods, or adaptation of existing methods for new applications.

Articles for the Journal are peer-reviewed by third-party reviewers who are selected from among specialists in the subject matter of peer-reviewed materials.

The Journal is a kind of forum for discussing issues and problems facing science and scholars, as well as an effective means of interaction between the members of the academic community. The Journal is read by a large number of scholars, and the circulation of the journal is constantly growing.

Articles containing fundamental or applied scientific results in all areas of research are accepted for consideration.

The Editorial Board of the Journal composes of 38 members and is chaired by Academician Crina Damsa.
