Education (Basel) (ISSN 2076-3344) is a scholarly international open
access journal. It publishes extended full-length research papers that have
the scope to substantively address current issues in education. There is no
restriction on the length of the papers relevant to any field of study within
education. Submissions that synthesize information from disparate
backgrounds, place research findings within a broad context, extend our
methodological and theoretical understanding, and have the likelihood of
informing education policy and practice, are preferred.

MDPI publishes several peer-reviewed, open access journals listed at
http://www.mdpi.com/. The Editorial Board members, including several
Nobel Laureates (http://www.mdpi.com/about/nobelists/), are all leading
active scholars. All MDPI journals maintain rapid, yet rigorous, peer-
review, manuscript handling and editorial processes. MDPI journals have
increased their impact factors, see "2010 Newly Released Impact Factors",
http://www.mdpi.com/about/announcements/121/.

In case of questions, please contact the Editorial Office at:
education@mdpi.com.

We are looking forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,
MDPI AG
