About the Journal
Tabanque. Revista pedagógica (E-ISSN 2530-6766) is a publication of interdepartmental character born in 1985 at the University School of Education of Palencia, now the Faculty of Education, where it continues to be published today. Its title is related to a handmade word which is a wooden wheel that the potters move with the foot to turn the lathe. With this metaphorical idea as a facilitator of the necessary impulse, in this case, to advance in the educational transformation and in the expression of educational concerns and achievements, the magazine emerges.
It was initially published with the collaboration of Caja de Ahorros y Monte de Piedad in Palencia (later Caja España) until the 20th volume, published in 2007. From the 10th volum until its conversion to the digital edition in 2017, the responsibility for the edition will fall jointly in the Secretary of Publications of the University of Valladolid and the departmental sections present in the Faculty of Education of Palencia.
In 2013 all the numbers of this publicarion were digitized and can be looked up through Dialnet web.
The Editorial Committee is formed by five university professors of several specialties, one of them assuming the role of Managing Editor. The Advisory Board is made up of twelve experts in different areas of knowledge, belonging to different national and foreign Universities, all of them outside the University of Valladolid.
The aim of TABANQUE is to contribute to the diffusion of reflection, research and pedagogical practice, all tasks that are essential in the strategies of innovation and improvement of education.
Tabanque is structured in three sections:
1) Monograph. Its theme is chosen by the Editorial Board which entrusts the coordination to a specialist in the subject, which - in turn - requests the collaboration of experts in the field and is responsible for the presentation and chapter of bibliographic resources and documentaries existing in relation to the proposed monographic theme. Occasionally, the monograph may collect the proceedings of a congress or scientific event.
2) Research and experiences. This part responds to the interests and specialization of the authors themselves, taking into account articles of a scientific nature that may be of interest for the training of educators and / or for the exercise of educational activity.
3) Documentation. In this section, which is not present in every volume, bibliographical reviews are included; reviews of congresses, scientific meetings or other activities of this nature; documentation, etc.

The Editorial Board makes the final decision and the authors will be informed of the decision within a maximum of ninety days following the reception of the paper (the evaluators' leave time will not to be included in this ninety-day period).

Work shall be original and unpublished, and shall be duly attributed to those who have prepared it, avoiding plagiarism (misappropriation of others' work or ideas), self-plagiarism (taking advantage of ideas or previous works of one's own authorship without citing the source) and multiple or redundant publication of the same work. Clear reference should be made to the sources used and to previous papers on the same subject matter, explaining the origin of the data and ideas, of the literal quotations or of other resources (such as graphs, images, tables, etc.). Failure to comply with these aspects may lead to the public disavowal of the articles, as explained in section 2. 2 of the aforementioned guide.
Information from private conversations or discussions with others in academia or science may not be used without their explicit permission. If images or graphics that are not originally from the author are included in the work, they must have express permission to use them and cite the authorship appropriately.
Woks that are being evaluated in whole or in part by another publisher cannot be submitted. Once submitted to Ediciones Universidad de Valladolid, the originals cannot be sent to another journal or publisher until the evaluation process has been completed.
- Editorial committee
The members of the editorial committee must ensure the quality of the publications, promoting good practices in research, trying to avoid malpractice and trying to speed up the publication processes.
The evaluation process must be managed fairly and impartially, respecting the thinking of those who have written the work and guaranteeing them the right to disagree with the evaluation reports.
It is the responsibility of the editorial committee to manage the evaluation process of publications fairly and impartially, respecting the thinking of authors and guaranteeing them the right to disagree with the evaluation reports.
Members of the editorial committees must respect the confidentiality of the articles and their contents until the time of publication and may not use the data in the work for their own research, unless they have the express permission of the authors.
The editorial committees may consider the refusal of authors to have their work evaluated by certain persons, evaluating whether the reasons provided are justified, but they are not obliged to dispense with the use of these persons.
The editorial committees shall recognise the work of the reviewers, issuing, where appropriate, the corresponding accreditations to those who have adequately carried out their work.
The editorial committee must try to avoid malpractice in research (redundant publication, plagiarism or selfplagiarism, omission of cited sources, invented, misrepresented, manipulated or unauthorised use of data ...). Where instances of research malpractice are noted in manuscripts received, the author will be invited to correct them if the misuse affects a small part of the article, and the manuscript will be rejected if it affects a substantial part.
If malpractice is discovered after publication, the editorial committee will request clarifications from the author and, after evaluating their explanations, will make a decision on the matter. If only part of the work contains errors, this can be resolved by publishing an erratum. If the malpractice affects a substantial part of the article, it must be retracted, in accordance with the procedure described in section 2. 2 of the Ediciones Universidad Valladolid Good Practice Guidelines.
Likewise, the editorial committee will try to resolve any possible conflicts of interest described in section 2. 4 of the aforementioned guide.
- Reviewer/s
Reviewers must refrain from reviewing the works if they had any relationship with the authors that would advise against it, as explained in section 3 of the Ediciones Universidad Valladolid Good Practice Guidelines.
The work of reviewers must be confidential, both during the evaluation process and after the eventual publication of the evaluated work. Reviewers will not be able to use the evaluated content for their own personal benefit or that of other people, and they must respect the opinions and intellectual position of those who have written the articles, judging the work objectively and impartially, arguing their judgements appropriately, showing respect, constructively correcting possible errors and providing suggestions for improvement with regard to the contents, formal presentation, writing and bibliography used in the work.
In the event that any malpractice is detected in the work reviewed, reviewers must notify the editorial committees so that their members can take the corresponding decisions.
Reviewers are required to submit their reports within the agreed time. If they are unable to complete their task on time, or if they do not consider themselves capable of evaluating the work, they should inform the members of the editorial committees as soon as possible.
