The Literacy, Preliteracy and Education Journal is a peer-reviewed journal which specializes in the field of literacy and education in their broadest terms. Its goal is to mediate new knowledge in the field and thus to provide impulses that will stimulate further developments in the field. The Journal deals with reading, mathematical, informational and science literacy and pre-literacy and with related topics.
The Journal also serves as a basis for the development of educational psychology, primary pedagogy and departmental didactics, and special and social pedagogy as research subjects.
We will publish theoretical, empirical, methodological, didactic and systematic review, discussions, reports and reviews.
Submissions that fall into the studies and research memo categories will be subjected to a peer-review process. A ruling on acceptance into the review process will be delivered within 30 days from the submission of the paper. The results of the review process will be delivered within 60 days from the ruling of acceptance into the review process. The rest of the submissions will be reviewed by the editorial board. We will publish only papers that have not been previously offered to or published by another journal.
The Journal is published three times a year; one English issue of the Journal is published each year.
Papers are published in Czech, Slovak or English.
