The following aims have been set for the EDUsfera Academic Press: exchange of historical and contemporary thought on the family, upbringing, and education between Polish and foreign centres, to create a field for the reception of historical thought and past practice for contemporary theoretical and practical solutions relating to the family: its support, assistance, and care, comparing theoretical and practical achievements in the fields of education and upbringing in the historical and contemporary context in different countries, promoting the achievements of Polish theoretical and practical thought in the fields of family, upbringing, and education among Polish theoreticians and practitioners and internationally, integrating the scientific community and representatives of the practices in Poland and abroad.
The activities of the EDUsfera Academic Press are supported by the Publishing Board, chaired by Professor Stefania Walasek. The Publishing Board ensures the observance of the established procedure of scientific/academic review and principles of publication ethics following the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidelines. In addition, the EDUsfera Academic Press operates in the Open Access system, disseminating research results through electronic publications available to a wide range of readers. This provides an opportunity for an unrestricted exchange of academic ideas, presenting the research reports of Polish authors internationally, and popularising knowledge in society.
It should be emphasised that operating within the Open Access system and publishing academic monographs under the Creative Commons licence is a modern but still underestimated publishing model in Poland, which makes it possible for every recipient to get acquainted with the content of a publication without any technical or financial limitations. It also responds to the demand for the availability to taxpayers of the conclusions of research financed from public funds, which is posed in many grant competitions organised both at national and international levels.
