Acknowledgment to Our Authors

2025-06-08

On behalf of the editorial board, the scientific committee, and the Discimus Corporation, we extend our sincere gratitude to the authors who have entrusted their academic work to this independent and collective editorial project. For Volume 2 of the year 2025, we received a total of 49 submissions, which are currently at various stages of the editorial process: similarity check and detection of AI-generated writing using Turnitin, assignment of peer reviewers, analysis of reviewer suggestions, incorporation of revisions and clarifications, as well as final editing and design. Each of these stages is conceived not as a mere bureaucratic procedure, but as a rigorous, ethical, and collective exercise in knowledge construction, guided by principles of quality, depth, and academic responsibility.

We reaffirm that this editorial endeavor has never been, and will never be, a profit-driven enterprise. We do not align ourselves with the market logic that currently prevails in many universities, research centers, and academic circles, where prestige has been reduced to a position in the Quartiles, Journal Impact Factor, or h-index—often used as synonyms for academic value—without accounting for the unequal conditions of access, production, and dissemination that underpin them.

Our work resists the commodification that underlies publishing models which charge fees to authors, privileging those who can afford to pay and excluding those who cannot. In contrast, we are committed to open, democratic science that is radically engaged with epistemic justice. A science built from the ground up—from the territories, from the classrooms, and from the lived experiences of those who teach, research, struggle, and transform.

We are fully aware that even some alternative knowledge repositories—initially created as acts of resistance—have begun to replicate, uncritically, the classificatory and hierarchical structures of dominant models. In response, we reaffirm, now more than ever, our anti-capitalist commitment to open publishing: non-commercial, without article processing charges, and without profit-seeking goals. We publish because we believe. We publish because we teach. We publish because we resist.

Thank you for walking this path with us.

Discimus: proyecto editorial público

2025-05-08

Knowledge, as a common good, must be accessible, shared, and collectively constructed in order to contribute to the transformation of social, cultural, and educational realities. When commodified, it loses its emancipatory potential and becomes subject to exclusionary logics that privilege those who can afford to produce or access it. Defending knowledge as a public good therefore entails challenging both economic and symbolic barriers that hinder its free circulation, particularly in educational contexts where its appropriation is essential for human and community development.

In recent decades, various editorial practices have consolidated a profit-driven model in which many academic journals charge fees for publication, and scholarly prestige is subordinated to quantitative metrics, impact indexes, and rankings. These dynamics have created a hierarchical structure that tends to concentrate scientific visibility in a few spaces controlled by platforms that have adopted the label “databases,” thus monopolizing the legitimation of knowledge. This scenario has generated significant tensions with the principles of open access and with the epistemic plurality that should characterize educational research.

In response to this context, Discimus positions itself as an editorial space dedicated to the dissemination of school-based, critical, and contextually grounded knowledge. It aims to promote a more equitable and open circulation of academic work, one that is committed to contemporary pedagogical debates while resisting editorial logics that prioritize market interests over the formative and social role of scientific production. The journal emerges from within public schools and is driven by teachers whose everyday practices contribute to the construction of a public and transformative science.
