The journal Högskolepedagogisk debatt serves as a forum for scholarly articles, best practice and reflections on issues related to teaching and learning in higher education.
The intended readers are teachers, educational developers, and leaders involved in higher education.
The journal welcomes contributions from anyone with an interest in the development of higher education. Each issue has a designated theme, but submissions outside the theme are also welcome. The journal is published by Kristianstad University and Blekinge Institute of Technology.
The purpose of the journal is to provide professionals in higher education with an opportunity to share research findings, ideas, theories and discussions related to teaching and learning in higher education.
The overarching aims of the journal are to:
All submitted manuscripts are first assessed by the editorial team, which determines whether the manuscript meets the requirements for the type of contribution and whether it is suitable to be sent for peer review. Only original articles are sent for peer review; other contributions are reviewed and commented on by members of the editorial team.
Manuscripts deemed suitable for further review are sent to two or more experts who are tasked with highlighting the manuscript's general and specific merits and shortcomings.
The journal uses a single-blind review procedure before acceptance/rejection of manuscripts, which means that reviewers are anonymous throughout the review process.
Based on the review, the editor then compiles a recommendation to a) accept the manuscript for publication b) ask the author to revise the manuscript or c) reject the manuscript.
The overall publishing responsibility rests with the journal's editor-in-chief, who has a qualified editorial board for support in various issues regarding the publication of individual manuscripts, the journal's development, etc.
In cases where a manuscript’s author is in some way associated with the editorial team, they will be removed from all editorial tasks for that article. An independent editor will be tasked with organizing the peer-review process. The author's affiliation with the journal will also be indicated in the final publication of the article.
The journal accepts manuscripts that have previously been uploaded for review as preliminary versions, on personal websites, presented at conferences, or made available through other informal communication channels. However, authors must hold copyright for the text in question. Authors are also encouraged, when available, to include links to previous versions of the article in the final version of the article published in the journal.
Duplicate publication, also called "redundant publication" or "dual publication", is not permitted. This refers to the publication of the same article in more than one journal or to the publication of a document that is substantially similar to one already published without reference to the original publication.
