Although there are many journals that we can find in our areas of knowledge, we believe that many of them have been instrumentalizing practices and analysis at the service of disseminating research results, in many cases disconnected from the interests of the educational community. Faced with this, our proposal is aimed at recovering pedagogical and didactic reflection as a central element of educational discourse, subordinating the importance of tools to the epistemological, methodological and axiological approach, that is, focusing on how and, above all, in the why and for what. We are interested, therefore, in rescuing and giving prominence to didactic theorizing, pedagogical reflection and innovative praxis as fundamental pillars of education, in order to promote critical thinking within the framework of analysis, studies and democratic and participatory. And all this by offering a space for expression both to teachers and teachers as well as to students of the faculties of Education. We at Márgenes magazine are convinced that the current editorial policy, based on impact indexes, has many critics and hardly helps the democratic dissemination of knowledge [San Francisco Declaration of Evaluation of Research: Spanish | English] [link 1; link 2; link 3link 4; link 5]; This situation has been revealed by a recent Supreme Court ruling [link]. Even so, we are aware of the impact, especially on young teachers and researchers, that these quality criteria have on their academic careers. That is why we are going to work to improve the impact of the magazine, without sacrificing along the way our concern for quality content that is structured from a concrete and coherent perspective of education. For this purpose, we rely on the work and criteria of a committed scientific council of recognized prestige, and with a team of reviewers who are equally competent and committed to the journal's policy. The aforementioned hegemonic editorial policy is also contributing to the rise of a vision of education supported by external evaluation and housed in quantitative and experimentalist approaches that, consequently, mortgage approaches to educational processes and contexts based on understanding and interpretation of meanings and senses. The Márgenes magazine emerges as an alternative to give visibility to these other approaches to education, from qualitative methodological approaches that currently find few spaces for publication, dissemination and discussion.
