Abstract

The article presents the analysis of the internationalization of 73 Polish pedagogical journals. The analyzed parameters of internationalization were related to the language of publication, the affiliation of editors and members of editorial boards, and contributing authors. The parameters concerning reviewers were omitted due to different practices in informing about experts engaged in the peer review process; therefore the sample of journals was not representative for analysis. The data was gathered from the journals’ websites and articles published in 2019. Results were related to the small number of journals with high values of parameters of internationalization, namely 16 journals were English-only (22%), nine journals had a high percentage of editors and editorial board members outside Poland (12%), five journals had a high percentage of authors outside Poland (7%). The collaboration with editors and editorial board members and authors outside Europe was low. The possible national and international directions for the development of Polish pedagogical journals were proposed. The formal recommendations for editors and publishers of these journals were formulated.
