Revista de Pedagogie Digitala accepts for publication original research articles, theoretical analyses, systematic reviews, and critical essays on topics in the field of digital pedagogy. Manuscripts may be submitted at any time throughout the year. The date of publication coincides with the date of acceptance of the final version.
Accepted languages. The journal publishes articles in Romanian and English. Article proposals may also be submitted in French or Italian for a preliminary assessment of publication possibility.
Manuscript format. The journal has adopted a free format submission policy. Authors may submit their manuscript in any format that is readable and understandable by editors and reviewers, provided it contains all essential elements: title, authors (name, academic title, institutional affiliation, country), abstract, keywords, article content (including tables, figures, images), and references in APA format.
The abstract should be concise, clear, and comprehensive, including the premise, main ideas, and conclusions of the study. As a guideline, abstracts should be approximately 1,500 characters in length.
Manuscript submission. To propose an article for publication, send an email to editor@pedagogie-digitala.ro with two attached files: the article and the author information.
The article file must be in an editable format (preferably Microsoft Word or a compatible format).
A separate file must accompany the article, containing information about each author: full name, email address, academic title, institution name, and a link to an academic profile (ORCID preferred, or Thomson Researcher ID, Publons, Scopus, Google Scholar).
Submissions must include a formal originality statement declaring that the work is original, has not been previously published (even in part), and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. This statement may be embedded in the submission email or submitted as a separate document. Acceptable formats include: [We, …names of the authors…, hereby declare that the submitted paper…] or [As the corresponding author, I certify that this manuscript…]
* The corresponding author is solely responsible for communicating with the journal and for managing communication between co-authors.
Declarations. All manuscripts should include, where applicable, the following statements placed after the conclusions and before the reference list: funding sources and grant numbers; conflicts of interest (or a statement that none exist); ethics approval and informed consent (for research involving human participants); data availability; author contributions; and acknowledgement of AI tool usage in accordance with the AI Policy (within the Ethics Policy).
Editorial process. Each manuscript undergoes a two-stage evaluation. First, a preliminary editorial review by members of the editorial team assesses suitability for peer review, relevance to the journal’s scope, and adherence to submission guidelines. Plagiarism screening is performed before any content analysis. If the manuscript passes this stage, it is anonymised and sent to two independent external reviewers for double-blind peer review. Full details are available in the Peer Review Policy.
Authors receive an initial editorial response (acceptance for peer review, desk rejection, or request for preliminary revisions) within a maximum of two weeks from submission. The complete review process typically takes 5–10 weeks.
Fees. No fees are charged for manuscript submission, peer review, or publication. All editorial services are free of charge.
