Aims and Scope

Seminare is a topic-centred interdisciplinary academic journal published by the Francis de Sales Scientific Society and devoted to the education, formation and human development of children, adolescents and young adults. Education and educational sciences constitute its principal disciplinary framework.

The journal welcomes submissions from related fields, including psychology, sociology, family studies, theology, philosophy, law, history, anthropology, and media studies. Research from these fields should demonstrate a direct and substantive connection to the journal’s central research focus. Particular attention is given to educational and developmental processes, as well as to the social, cultural, psychological, ethical, religious, family, and institutional contexts that shape the education, formation, and development of children, adolescents, and young adults.

Seminare encourages interdisciplinary, comparative, and internationally relevant research. Studies focused on a particular country, region, institution, or community should be situated within international scholarship and offer findings, interpretations, or theoretical insights relevant beyond their immediate context.

Manuscripts addressing topics within the contributing disciplines but without a clear connection to the education, formation, or human development of children, adolescents, or young adults fall outside the journal’s scope.

History

The “Seminare. Learned Investigations” journal was founded in 1975 on the initiative of Salesians employed at the Catholic University of Lublin. The frequency and form of the journal’s publication changed over time along with its development. From 1975 to 2009, it was published as an annual, from 2010 to 2013 as a semiannual, and since 2014 as a quarterly. Since 2023, following the change in the scientific and thematic profile of the journal, it has again taken the form of a semiannual. The electronic version of the journal (e-ISSN: 2450-1328) is published alongside the printed version, and since 2023, it has become the primary one. Currently, “Seminare” is hosted on the UKSW journals platform, and the entire scientific and editorial process is carried out via the interactive Open Journal System.
